| At the end of the rerun of Lupin III: Dead or Alive on Nihon TV on April 29th, a new anime "series" of Lupin III was announced to be aired this autumn. The last TV series aired in the 1980s. MyCom Journal and Mainichi Digital Newspaper reported the new anime but they didn't say it's a series. It's uncertain whether there will be a TV series or a special one-shot.

Zenigata: Naya Goro, 81 years old Jigen: Kobayashi Kiyoshi, 78 years old Fujiko: Masuyama Eiko, 75 years old Goemon: Inoue Makio, 70 years old Lupin III: Kurita Kanichi, 53 years old Sources: Screenshot of the announcement, MyCom Journal Lupin III: Blood Seal - Eternal Mermaid on MAL |

| Sounds cool! I've been meaning to watch the old series for quite a while now so I suppose I should hop to it. I watched the Detective Conan special with Lupin III characters and liked them quite a bit. |
| This is certainly the Year! 2011! |
| Really cool news. I would be fine if it was either of them. I would be interested in a new series though. |
| Is it me or is this year getting better and better anime-wise? |
| This is the best news ever! I love Lupin III! |

| Hopefully Lupin III: Brotherhood |

| Interesting. Especially the aging of the characters. IIRC Indiana Jones tried the same thing, right? |
 |
| They're using the same voice actors? Wow. |
| if they are remaking the series i might watch it |

| Oh yes please. |
 |
| YES. I was honestly afraid 'The Last Job' was going to be the last special. Whether this is a series or a special, I'll be happy :3 |
 |
| best news I heard all day. |

| OMG! I miss Lupinn..^_^ |
 |
| animes from the past are coming back. Cool! |

| One of the inspiration of all Mystery anime series out there <3 |

That's not the characters' ages it's the voice actors/actresses. They're linked. After all, if the character's voice sounds old you can't expect the character to be a 10 year old right? |

| Sucks that it's Walpurgis Night and the world is going to end, would have been intrested in a new Lupin series. |

| So much love for the whole Lupin familyyy!! :D :D :D Can't wait!! I'm still curious as to what the heck Lupin II did with his life though... |
curiouser and curiouser :) |
| A new Lupin III series this Autumn... Dear 2011: Why are you being so awesome? SaraSlurpsCoffee said: If I recall correctly, Lupin III mentions in different episodes/movies/whatever that his father was a thief too, so I guess being light-fingered runs in their family :)I'm still curious as to what the heck Lupin II did with his life though... |

| hell yeah this a a very good news |
| Heard about this yesterday. Really looking forward to it, and it's about time too! |
| I'm looking forward to this; great news. |
 |
| Great News |
 |
| I find this pretty epic. Let's see how it turns out, but I#m optimistic! |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| 2011 is a much better year than any I remember, then again, I've only been watching anime for 3 years, so that probably doesn't mean anything. |
| Milk the cow... if K-ON! can be milked more, so can this westernized classic. >.> |
