Animax Asia announced on Monday that its airing of the Lupin the Third: Part 5 television anime will premiere on February 18 at 10:00 p.m. GMT +8. The anime will air new episodes every Monday and Tuesday.
The Lupin the Third: Part 5 anime series premiered in NTV's AnichU programming block last April, and aired 24 episodes through September. Crunchyroll streamed the series in Japanese with English subtitles as it aired in Japan. The new series moves the story's setting to modern France. While Lupin still uses classic cars and traditional guns like the Walter P38, he also employs the Internet, mobile devices, and other digital gadgets to take on his foes.
Yuichiro Yano returned from the fourth series to direct the anime at Telecom Animation Film, alongside character designer Hisao Yokobori and musical composer Yuji Ohno. Miyuki Sawashiro (Fujiko) performed the ending theme song "Seine no Kaze ni … (Adieu)."
Lupin III: Goodbye Partner, the 26th Lupin III anime special, premiered on January 25. A new Lupin III film is planned for winter 2019.
