Lupin premiered back in the day near the end of AS.

Also that episode was fantastic and a good example of one common Lupin plot. Basically someone in the group does something uncharacteristic only for it to be the first part of a multi part con to get some rare ass valuable from some group.

The other common plots are: Someone wants to kill Lupin for something he did and a routine burglary turns into something...complicated.

I hope Mrs Lupin continues to show up she was amazing.

Demarco confirmed that yes, it was indeed licensing issues preventing the Lupin OP/ED from airing.

Makes sense. Some Japanese music producers are notorious about letting their songs get licensed outside of Japan.

Dangnabbit.

It took about half a decade to get one One Piece opening's rights secured.

Gundam Zeta, a show from before most of you were born, never gets its amazing second opening when released here.

Doesn't get the proper music for the first Op either because the composer owns the song rights.

 

[gamerguy2002]

Wait so its true, they did butcher the OP and background music?!

What did they change it to? Italian version or some kind of 4kids-Dragonball Z situation where its all a new composition?

Knew it.

So this is the original Italian OP for the series.

Man, it used to suck when things were replaced in TV showings. The only options you had to see the real stuff was to buy some expensive VHS or DVDs, or to import, since the official stuff wasn't even cleared for foreign release.

... Now you might have to watch the show as a free, official, legal stream. Or see 10s of people who have a version on YouTube or Veoh or Dailymotion.

Even our worse cases aren't all that bad anymore, ha. I did wish we kept the final montage shot:

But the art pieces they used were pretty nice. And I somewhat wonder if the style of this TV OP will actually feel more heist-appropriate to the average watcher?

 

[Man God]

Finally got around to watching the Lupin openings.

Italian one isn't great. The Japanese one is pretty good. Definitely not offensive enough to be a problem to air on TOONAMI. Unlike the Woman Called Fujiko Mine Opening! NSFW

We can't get either opening due to legit Neil Sedaka. Same for the ending I believe. They're all Neil Sedaka songs.

Let's give it up for the best HxH dad.

Or dead anime dad, or absent anime dad.

You'd have better luck listing the GOOD anime dads rather than the numerous bad/absentee ones.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

How about both?

[Morlas]

Yeah heihachi kinda takes the cake lol

 

[Raxus]

That trophy is hilarious.

 

[caliph95]

You think you're tough, you're not tough unless you throw your unconcious kid who you knocked out of a cliff.

I do love the attempt to humanise heihachi

Spoiler

they say he did in order to get rid of devil gene and that if he survived he's right nevermind if he died and turned out to be wrong or try to help your son control it.

Heihachi: "People thing Ging's a bad dad? Hold my Sake."

At the very least Silva knows how to talk to his son. Out of that family Zeno seems like the most chilled out one.

And the only reason that he conceived Lars was to determine if he inherited the devil gene...

A part of me is convinced YYH is just a prequel to HxH and Yusuke just changed his name to escape knocking up Keiko.

He would never do that :O

 

[JadedWriter]

Yeah I know Yusuke is the nice one. Hopefully Keiko turned him into an honest man. Ging on the other hand, "Mitou! Look at my back as I walk away from your ass...forever."

 

[HStallion]

I wonder if there are other "Gon's" all over the HxH world as Ging is a well traveled man.

oh man

was talking to my younger, 15-year-old sister about how we've been watching Tokyo Ghoul

She's seen the series & has 6 volumes of the manga & despite being a fan, even she called the 2nd season of the anime crap

If even a fan of TG thinks the 2nd season is bad, we're in for a ride

There's got to be a couple, they just don't even know it.

At least we've got Lupin now.

Why is the fifth opening of FMA:B so lackluster compared to the rest? It ruined FMA and FMA:B's perfect track record!

 

[Morlas]

But seriously who is the best anime father?
Best cartoon father is obviously Greg universe

Dude sent a fucking clone to his kids birthday party. You might want to find another candidate.
