Good old Lupin, always has a convoluted scheme up his sleeve!

@Beary Not Lupin's style.

Also, I suggest people check the real opening to see why that one they used was eh to me.

Welcome back, you sly dog. grin

IMO, this is the best Lupin series since it distills the best elements of both the more serious and sillier incarnations. Also, episode 12 is one of my favorite episodes, I can't wait till we get to that one.

To be fair, nothing's going to top the quintessential Lupin theme, but what they used wasn't bad, kind of like what happened with Space Dandy.

[up] Which poses the real question: what color jacket will Lupin wear next? tongue

Pretty entertaining though I'd like if they better establish who these characters are for new audiences.

I only vaguely know these guys.

@Slim They will in each coming episode. The Jigen spotlight episode, just a task he does alone, is especially cool.

Like the manga, this series has them working apart more often than not and saves the full team together as a team for big serial entries.

Now's as good as time as any to remind you all that Samurai Jack once had a character who was Jigen (right down to the design) with Lupin's mannerisms. That was a fun episode.

Holy cheese on rye, I was right about Rebecca? surprised

And she would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for her meddling husband! tongue

I can already tell she's going to be a great character.

@ Rojixus: Exactly! It was so obvious, I didn't think it would actually happen.

Congrats! I played myself!

And winner of episode 1: Rebecca! She may call it a loss, but I don't.

Also, now begins the plot of Lupin wanting the divorce papers signed! [lol]

Rebecca has a fun back story and, luckily, this series will resolve it around episode 11 or so instead of dragging it out the whole series.

Also Lupin let Rebecca have the crown in the end right?
