<p>I just finished watching a lot of the original <strong>Lupin the Third</strong> television series from the 1970s.</p>

<p>Then I watched <a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/13203/Lupin_the_Third:_Mine_Fujiko_to_Iu_Onna" rel="nofollow"><strong>Lupin the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna</strong></a> and <a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/23293/Lupin_the_IIIrd:_Jigen_Daisuke_no_Bohyou" rel="nofollow"><strong>Lupin the Third: Jigen Daisuke no Bohyou</strong></a>. These two were my stand out favourites. They both also happen to be tagged as Seinen on MAL, unlike the rest of the Lupin shows which are Shounen.</p>

<p>Why was there a sudden change in the focus of the series?
Or better yet, why isn't Lupin a Seinen series to begin with? Personally, I think it works much better as a Seinen series.</p>

<p>I also noticed that they're doing <a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/27947/Lupin_III_%282015%29" rel="nofollow">another Shounen series</a> this year.
Didn't people like the Seinen ones?</p>

Wow, did you watch all 23 + 155 + 50 = 228 episodes from all 3 parts of Lupin TV series?

Parts 1 and 2, skipped 3 as they started to drag.

I just finished watching a lot of the original **Lupin the Third** television series from the 1970s.

Then I watched [**Lupin the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna**](http://myanimelist.net/anime/13203/Lupin_the_Third:_Mine_Fujiko_to_Iu_Onna) and [**Lupin the Third: Jigen Daisuke no Bohyou**](http://myanimelist.net/anime/23293/Lupin_the_IIIrd:_Jigen_Daisuke_no_Bohyou). These two were my stand out favourites. They both also happen to be tagged as Seinen on MAL, unlike the rest of the Lupin shows which are Shounen.

I also noticed that they're doing [another Shounen series](http://myanimelist.net/anime/27947/Lupin_III_%282015%29) this year.
