Description
On October 24th, 1971, an exciting new anime premiered based on the hit
manga "LUPIN III" by legendary creator Monkey Punch. For 50 years, the exploits
of master thief Lupin III and his gang of outlaw pals have thrilled and
entertained audiences worldwide, spawning over 300 serialized episodes, more
than 10 feature films, dozens of standalone specials and OVAs, with even more
adventures currently in the works. As one of the most popular and prolific
animated franchises, it has evolved through the decades, capturing the hearts of
several generations. It has inspired and launched the careers of film makers,
storytellers, and animators around the world, most notably providing the
directorial debut of the legendary Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Princess
Mononoke) who directed perhaps the most recognized LUPIN THE 3rd
feature film, The Castle of Cagliostro.
A celebration of the
beloved anime sensation LUPIN THE 3rd with a look back at 50 years of adventures
starring the world's greatest gentleman thief created by the legendary author
Monkey Punch. Produced in cooperation with TMS Entertainment and Monkey Punch
Studios for the 50th Anniversary, this deep comprehensive retrospect
features page-after-page of original, never-before-seen production designs,
behind the scenes tales, creator spotlights, a complete episode guide to every
season and animated feature produced, and a gallery of tribute artwork by an
array of notable fan creators from around the world. Over 200 pages of
full-color artwork and design. A must for any Lupin III fan, or anime/animation
fans in general.
