Lupin III: The First Continues to Just Look Goddamn Spectacular io9.gizmodo.com

The very first look we got at Lupin III: The First already dazzled with its incredible CG take on the wild world of Monkey Punch’s beloved gentleman thief manga series (and the various animated versions it has gone on to inspire).
AdvertisementIt turns out that Lupin’s been hired by a mysterious woman named Leticia to go after the Bresson Diary—a legendary treasure that not even Lupin’s famous predecessor (his grandfather, or so Lupin has always claimed), the master thief Arsène Lupin, could steal.
Bresson was actually the psuedonym of one of the characters in Maurice LeBlanc’s collection of Arsène Lupin short stories, Arsène Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes, which...well, you can guess who LeBlanc was aping there, can’t you?
That charm might be something not even a master thief like Lupin or his grandfather could steal!
Lupin III: The First is set for release in Japan December 6.
