The guest writers include Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell), Masaki Tsuji (Kyojin no Hoshi, Umi no Triton), novelist Taku Ashibe (Murder in the Red Chamber), Akio Higuchi (Zone), and Kanae Minato (Confession).

The new series will center around two keywords, with "mystery" being the keyword of the "first cours" (quarter of a year). Lupin is after a treasure hidden by The Raven, a mysterious organization that manipulates the British government in the shadows. However, Sherlock Homes appears before Lupin.

This is an extremely interesting decision to take Lupin. This might very well be the best season yet. Apparently though, Conan isn't canon in this Lupin universe, haha. Not sure how they will get the story to make sense time-wise, but it's Lupin. Anything can make sense.

Nice, I'm extremely hyped for this. I only started watching Lupin III recently despite knowing about it since quite a few years back and the anticipation for a new (and, most likely, surprising) part has been tantalizing, I can't wait for more amazing content from this franchise!
Oh, and it looks like the Part I combo of the green jacket with a yellow tie is coming back. Looking forward to finding out what implications this might have.

So cool! It warms the heart to see Lupin getting so much love. Nice that it's so popular in Japan, nice when that coincides with one of my fav things! And wow, Mamoru in the house, this has everything.

I love the character art too, Fujiko is the #1 femme fatale bae in anime. And Lupin is rather dapper, he's a groovy guy.

Very excited to see akio ootsuka’s take on jigen now that kobayashi annouved he is retiring from Jigen. Kobayashi is cool and all, but man did they need to move on from his voice. Jigen won’t sound like an old man who could barely talk now
