Today, I'm joined by Jay (@TheJayOfSpade on Twitter) and Hobo (@Hobotron2000 on Twitter) for a deep dive on one of anime's biggest revivals, Lupin III Part IV! Released in 2015, 30 years after Part III, Lupin III finds our heroes in Italy, stealing national monuments and uncovering nefarious plots. We take time to discuss what we loved about this series, the ways it builds on its legacy, and how it helps to expand the cast and open itself up for new development and exploration going forward. All the love is in our hands, here on Cocoa☆Disaster!
