Although I'm not the biggest Lupin fan, I love Sayo Yamamoto's Michiko to Hatchin and I'm curious to see how a female director will handle a series with a VERY male lead. Very interesting....

Awesome pick up
The staff involved has me really excited for the new Lupin. Can't wait to see more of the show after the first ep, and knowing now it's pretty likely it'll eventually be getting a dual-audio BD for that gorgeous animation (and a good Funi dub) in the future is great |

I too am surprised Funimation got digital rights to the recent Lupin series. After they haven't done anything since re-releasing the 10 movies they licensed half a decade ago and then the DVDs became out of print after that.
But besides no new re-releases on the Lupin TV specials 1993-2000 or the last two theatrical films. I find this news to be a good one. I wanted to see the newest Lupin series, and seeing a legal streaming of this series is just what the doctor ordered. It be cool to see Funimation get DVD/Blu-ray licensing rights to the series. Other wise I'm fine with Discotek or some other company ditributing it's US home releases. For now legal streaming on the series is cool in my book. I too agree that if Funimation was able to dub the series in English, they'd be able to recast Sonny Strait, Chris Sabat, & Mike McFarland again since those guys are still doing voice work for Funimation. While Zenigata & Fujiko's original English dub actors wouldn't likely to repraise their roles. I'd be surprised if they did manage to get those two back, but otherwise I'm fine with a recast for those two roles. A very similar situation when certain FMA & DB actors didn't repraise their roles either cause they weren't avalible or cause they don't feel like doing the voice of their own character again. |

Well, if we indulge in getting ahead of ourselves to play the fantasy English dub game, I'd like to hear Colleen Clinkenbeard as Fujiko. She had a terrific cunning femme fatale voice as Claudia McCunnen in Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~. |

I'm surprised they got BOTH episodes up. I expected only the first.

I honestly expected them to drag their feet for at least another week. I've been looking forward to this series for a while; I'm pretty excited about getting to see it.
I hope that they're pretty quick with Jormungand too. That's less of a sure bet to me, but I'm still interested. I wonder if this will ever be on NicoNico too. It hardly matters, but it would be slightly, slightly more convenient for me if it were. For an entertainment Death Star, it's somewhat less than a fully armed and operational battle station. |
