Lupin III Channel Launches on Pluto TV in Canada

lupin iii part ii

Fans of everyone’s favorite gentleman thief will soon have a way to watch him around the clock in Canada. Pluto TV Canada launched a channel just for the Lupin III series, with at least 22 episodes of the 1977-1980 Lupin III Part II TV anime currently streaming on the linear service. The entirety of Lupin III Part I is also available on the service as video-on-demand streaming.

This marks the first time for Pluto TV Canada—which just launched last month in the region—to offer anime.

Discotek Media released all of Lupin III Part II on home video and describes it like so:

Stealthy, smug, sharp, and silly. These words only begin to describe the greatest thief in the world, Lupin the Third. Ever at his side are the quick-draw sharpshooter Daisuke Jigen and the deadly, honor-bound swordsman Goemon Ishikawa.

Besides the countless fabulous treasures and priceless gems he pursues across the world, Lupin’s target is the heart of one Fujiko Mine, a buxom beauty who’s just as often Lupin’s rival as she is his girlfriend. But getting away with the gold and the girl is rarely as simple as it first seems. The clever Fujiko is eager to run off with the treasure for herself. And the dogged Tokyo Police Inspector Zenigata has transferred to Interpol just to chase Lupin and his globe-trotting gang across any and all borders! What’s an international master criminal to do?
