   The new Lupin Zero is a 6-episode prequel set in 1960's Japan, when Lupin was still a schoolboy, developing all the talents that would make him the world's most famous gentleman thief.

   The sound tracks are remastered / edited versions of the original Lupin themes.

     I love the animation: it has the rough lines and the washed color tones of the first Lupin series, while being high quality. If there's CG, it's hidden very well.

     Lupin Zero also tells the story of how Lupin met his lifetime friend Jigen.

     Young Lupin and Jigen share a passion for getting in trouble with dangerous men and... attractive ladies!

     Speaking of ladies, the

     I don't expect all the characters from the original "green jacket" Lupin series to be introduced in this prequel.

     Lupin encounters the legendary samurai Goemon (left) in adulthood.

     In the first Lupin manga, Inspector Zenigata (right) was conceived as Lupin's classmate. However, I don't see him credited in the characters of Lupin Zero. Too bad, "Tottsan Zenigata" (Gramps Zenigata) was both a comic relief and the tragic archetype of perseverance! 😂

     However, the charming and deceptive Fujiko Mine will make an appearance later in this 6-episode OVA.

     Fujiko's appearance changes a lot throughout the Lupin III series.

     I wonder what she will look like in Lupin Zero?
