To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Lupin the Third series and the 40th anniversary of the Cat’s Eye manga, the two mega-thieving manga franchises will be coming together for an Amazon Original anime next year. The first teaser trailer and visual for Lupin the Third Vs. Cat’s Eye was released alongside details on the staff and returning cast members.
The CG anime will see Kanichi Kurita return as the titular Arsène Lupin III alongside Keiko Toda returning as Hitomi Kisugi from the original 1980s Cat’s Eye TV anime and 2019’s City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes anime film, which saw the trio of cat burglars cross over with the equally as popular series.
