About the show

Lupin the 3rd Part II is a Japanese anime television series produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha. Part of the Lupin III franchise, it is the second anime television adaptation of the Lupin III manga series created by Monkey Punch. Although originally broadcast as simply Lupin III (Japanese: ルパン三世, Hepburn: Rupan Sansei), the series is now often referred to as New Lupin III (新ルパン三世, Shin Rupan Sansei) by Japanese fans. Among English-speaking fans, the series is commonly known as the "Red Jacket" series in reference to Lupin's outfit.

The series contains 155 episodes, which aired between October 3, 1977, and October 6, 1980, on the Japanese television network Nippon Television. Streamline Pictures released episodes 145 and 155 in the United States to VHS in 1994 as Lupin III: Tales of the Wolf, which was re-released by Orion Home Video as Lupin III's Greatest Capers the following year. In 2003, Pioneer Entertainment licensed and released 79 episodes in North America, 26 of which were broadcast on Adult Swim. The series was picked up by Discotek Media, who released all 155 episodes to DVD between 2017 and 2020.
