A pilot was produced in 1969, but anime adaptations of Monkey Punch's famous, not-so gentlemanly gentleman thief began in earnest in October, 1971 with the first of three Lupin III TV series.  Gearing up for the December special Lupin the III: Chi no Kokuin ~ Eien no Mermaid, a new trailer with design by Redline's Takeshi Koike promotes the anime's 40th anniversary.

Looks like a return to the old-school Lupin art style ... or at least a drift in that general direction. I rather like it.

I remember watching this on adultswim back in the day. I want to get back into the series. That's why i'm looking for the Lupin manga and the orignal maurice leblanc novels.
