News of the crossover anime comes as both anime are celebrating huge milestones, with this year marking the 50th anniversary of the Lupin III anime, while the Cat’s Eye manga celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. According to TMS, the anime will be set in Cat’s Eye‘s time period of 1980 and will focus on the Cat’s Eye sisters trying to steal three paintings that Lupin also has his eyes set on.
According to TMS Entertainment, Kanichi Kurita and Keiko Toda will both reprise their roles as Lupin III and Hitomi Kisugi, respectively. Originally released in 1981, Cat’s Eye became a hit manga that was quickly adapted into an anime that ran for two seasons and has since been adapted into various live-action films since its creation.
