Lupin III
The original Lupin III streams on Crunchyroll, Hulu, HIDIVE, Amazon Prime Video, and Tubi — an embarrassment of legal options for the 1971 series that launched one of anime's longest-running and most beloved franchises. This is where the world's greatest gentleman thief first swaggered onto screen.
About
Hard-boiled, cocky, classy, and gleefully silly, Arsène Lupin III is the master thief the whole world can't catch. With his crack-shot partner Jigen at his side, he pulls off elaborate heists, tears through legendary car chases, and leaves spectacular chaos in his wake. Complicating every job: the buxom, treacherous Fujiko, who's as likely to rob Lupin as kiss him; the stoic samurai Goemon, whose blade cuts anything; and the relentless Inspector Zenigata, whose entire life is the pursuit of Lupin. Episodic, freewheeling, and effortlessly cool, the original series established the DNA — capers, chemistry, and charm — that's kept this crew running for half a century.
