Probably a mistake to air a 1970's anime in 2003.
Unless it did well...

Same thing that Bandai did when they tried to shove the original Gundam on CN after teh success of Wing and G Gundam.

As for Lupin on CN I heard it didn't go so hot which is shame since I enjoyed it alot. Dub was a lot of fun from what I can remember. Hopefully, especially if my recollection of how the old Lupin show did is correct, the new Lupin show gets a serious shot.

It got only about a 23 episode run before it started repeating endlessly, and this is a series that has hundreds of episodes.

It was 26 episodes, and that was all that was dubbed for a while at the time. Then Geneon released some more on DVD. Then they went out of business. :/

Lupin never did terribly great, though, but I don't think it was really expected to be a major ratings winner.
