The second TV season of the master thief created by manga artist Monkey Punch (Kazuhiko Kato) continues, as Lupin, ultimate samurai Goemon, ace shot Jigen, and brunette bombshell Fujiko crisscross the world. They steal a racehorse from a car on the Orient Express, an Ukiyoe print in New York, a file from Scotland Yard in London, a fortune in illegal gambling money in Monaco, and a fabulously rare wine in Bordeaux. Despite Lupin's extraordinary skills, none of these capers turn out quite the way he planned. But he invariably outwits monomaniacal Interpol Inspector Zenigata, who pursues Lupin to every corner of the globe. The animation is rudimentary at best, and each adventure is more fantastically improbable than next, but that's exactly what the many fans of Lupin the Third want and expect. (Rated 13 and older: violence, nudity, profanity, risque humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
Description

Lupin and pals crisscross the globe as they outwit a psychotic horse-racer, help master escape artist fulfill his legacy and spend Christmas with a priceless bottle of wine!

This series is great. It can be cheesy at times but it is absolutely hilarious. I am so surprised that so many anime fans have never heard of this. The one-liners in this series had me literally rolling on the floor laughing. Give it a try you won't be dissapointed.
"Lupin III" equals "Good, Not-so-Clean Fun!" June 7, 2003

I've absolutely loved "Lupin III" ever since I first caught an episode on Adult Swim. Lupin is something like James Bond's goofy little brother. He can be suave, but he can also spaz-out if the situation calls for it. The dubbing in this series is great, in my opinion, though sometimes it's a bit anachronistic, i.e. the president of the U.S. looks like Jimmy Carter and yet sounds remarkably like Bill Clinton. The characters sound just as they should though, especially Lupin and Zenigata. Overall, it's simply a hoot.
The laughs continue June 18, 2003

Lupin is one of those series that never loses its charm. This old time animation has a cast of characters that just make you laugh. the dvd package itself is decent, not great but pretty good. The cartoons are clear, voice acting is dead on and the menus are nice. I give it 5 stars for the fact the studio did not screw this thing up, unlike other series out there. This is Lupin in the original glory, nudity, guns, violence, one liners all the stuff that made this show hilarious to begin with. Even if you have never seen this show, pick it up just for laughs, believe me there are plenty of them to be had.
Lupin the third a masterpiece to be watched August 1, 2004
the evil artist
Lupin the Third is the worlds most notorious gentleman thief along with his three cohorts Daisuke Jigen,Goemon Ishikawa,and the lovely Fujiko Mine Lupin travels the world stealing the worlds greatest treasures just think of him as the father of Carmen Sandiego. Lupin steals from anywhere and anything all while being pursued by inspector Zenigata of Interpol. With a charm and wit that makes James Bond look like a amature. It is a rather funny cartoon I was greatly impressed when I saw an episode on Adult Swim and I was hooked. This is pretty good considering it was done in the late 1960's. It is fun to see Lupin go around and steal things you wouldn't believe, with great one liners and a jazzy soundtrack to fit it nicely. It will surely steal your heart and not all the money in your wallet.
