Brb, moving to Italy.

In other words, YES! I'm REALLY looking forward to this! The time has come to finally wrap up all the specials and watch Part III.

This is a good thing, but I'm still in the first episodes of the second part. I think it's a good thing that they still make anime for this series. And perhaps we can hope they will make the Magic Kaito crossover movie...

By the way, how do I "plan to watch" it?

If Lupin wasn't the main character, then it wouldn't be called "Lupin III". :P

Probably. It's not like you need any kind of knowledge to watch any entry in the Lupin franchise.

Although I haven't seen much from this franchise, I will definitely be watching this series when it airs.

Yeah, pretty much. It's like Detective Conan's movies. All of them (except for two) are standalone.

The database for this hasn't added yet, so you cannot "plan to watch" it yet.

Because there's a spin-off series, where Fujiko Mine is set as main character.

Making my O face. I'm so excited! I'm not too surprised considering in 2012 we got Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna, and in 2013 we got Lupin v Conan the movie, and then this year Jigen's Gravestone released in Japan. The live-action movie is set to release soon, too. Lupin has been on a huge up-swing since 2009, when the Lupin v Conan special came out.

AOTY 2015? As a humongous Lupin fan, I'd love for it to be good enough. The director is from the Young Animators Project and did Buta, which was by no means bad (but a bit rushed). If the director is given more time and is able to make a four+ cour series, it could be the length of time dude needs to knock this out of the park. Optimistically.

My thirst for more Lupin stuff will be satisfied! (At least for one season...) I hope it is going to be as good as the last movie with Conan or the show with Fujiko.

It would be nice if it is going to be in the same style like "Lupin the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna".

yesyesyes! It has been a wonderful year for anime. So many familiar faces coming to the future to say hey. Now even the great Lupin III will be joining us. Good timing cause I've actually just reached the 1/4 mark of everything Lupin to begin with. I can't wait to see the style first hand.

Lupin III: Series IV?

I notice the setting is given as Italy apparently for the whole series. This relatively restricted location is a first for the usually globe-trotting Lupin TV series. I'm hoping that there will be a strong sense of place as a result.

I wonder if it'll be a eclectic collection of one-shots like the other TV series or if they'll do a continuous story on some level?

Glad to see they've given Lupin a new jacket which shows sufficient gumption. Appealing to nostalgia too heavily by re-using the red jacket would have been a bad sign.
