I've been aware of Lupin for years/decades but never watched it–until now as the Classic Adventures are on Prime.
Anyone else?

I like it though haven't seen a lot of it.
My first exposure was the more kid friendly Castle of Cagliostro, Hayao Miyazaki's first feature length animation. He drives the souped up Fiat 500 in that.
I found the comics a little later and they're a lot more raunchy, the anime is between the two. I think it's on hulu as well.
I've seen quite a bit of the original series, it was on cartoon network wayyyyyy back in the day in the anime block late at night. Have a handful of the dvd's and the ps2 game. It's a really fun one and up there for me in my favorite anime list. At some point they changed companies for the English dub and in turn changed Lupin's voice and that was a big downer for me

Well, now I know what is next on my list of shows to watch when the wife is off playing rugby.
I watched it ages ago.
The new(er) series are just as good. Excellent mix of comedy, drama, and action. Even the yellow 500 still shows up.
I watched off and on, but never really got hooked. I should give it another go.
"You're Under Arrent" is still my favorite for cool cars.
Seen Castle Cagliostro multiple times, and I may have picked up the DVDs of the series a ways back when they were on sale. I need to watch it sometime. I also need to get back to watching City Hunter.
Just curious, are there any hardcore "Wings if Honneamise" fans here? If so, I can pass on a collectible.
I have a friend who despises anime but ADORES Castle Cagliostro, which he laughs about all the time.
Lupin has always been wonderful, like a lot of you I remember first seeing it on Adult Swim for the first time BUT STILL NOT AS SUBLIME AS BIG-O
I'm very selective on my anime interests, but I enjoyed Castle Cagliostro. I got to get back into watching Cowboy Bebop as I enjoyed what I've seen so far.

My favorite episodes are the first 2 of the OVA with the Mini chase and the Lancia maniac in the typhoon.
In reply to J.A. Ackley :
Past couple of weeks I've been back into Cowboy Bebop for after dinner. The movie takes place during Halloween but I found it a little boring.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
The episode where Stormy and the doc steal cable and it explodes them through a wormhole back in time 10 minutes. Copy after copy of the 2 keep showing up, until you end up with a version looking like Jabba the Hutt and David the Gnome.
I'm sure a laughed a few years off my life when I saw that.
Also...STIMUTACS!!!
