HELP US DECIDE WHICH PART II EPISODES TO WATCH. Survey open until Wed.

We're currently in limbo between Parts I and II with a review of Strange Psychokinetic Strategy on the way. In the interim, our co-host Emma came up with a wonderful idea. Between every mainline anime series, we'll be focusing on all five members of the Lupin Gang. Chosen at random, we'll discuss how we feel about these thieving rascals (and one dogged, long-suffering inspector). We'll break down what we love about them, what we'd like to see more of, some favorite key moments, our personal headcanons, and much more! For our first episode in this very special series, we're shining the spotlight on our favorite modern-day samurai, Goemon Ishikawa!
