For a long, long time, Japanese anime has been moé. The word actually means “budding”, but it’s actually geek slang for cute things that give otaku warm fuzzy feelings.
Lupin from Japanese anime Lupin the Third drives a Fiat 500 in the classic flick Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro. The car is very much part of the character’s lore.
No wonder Fiat launched a special limited edition Lupin Fiat 500 in 2008. That’s easy to get your head around! This? Less so.
Anime Lupin the Third, one of the greatest things ever, is returning to television with a new series. It’s the first new Lupin anime series on TV in 27 years.
