#131 - Lupin the Third: Goodbye Partner feat. Drew & Emma from Sideburns & Cigarettes

Author: Third Impact Anime Podcast November 21, 2022 Duration: 2:06:49

Are you Chopin around for a good podcast? Well you found one!

Bill and Austin finally return to the monkey-faced thief for this first time in a while to review a fairly recent TV special, 2019's Lupin the Third: Goodbye Partner, but this time we're not going in alone.

We asked two special guests to join us, Drew and Emma of Sideburns & Cigarettes: A Lupin the Third Podcast. We share some reflections about the franchise over all, review the special, and reflect on the recent passing of the long-time voice of Daisuke Jigen, Kiyoshi Kobayashi.

This episode was an absolute blast and we're so delighted that Drew and Emma were able to join us.

What are some of your favorite performances from Kobayashi as Jigen? Let us know. Send us an e-mail and we'll read it aloud on an upcoming episode: thirdimpactanime@gmail.com

All music comes from the Lupin the Third: Goodbye Partner soundtrack.

Every other week, the conversation starts around a microphone with a group of longtime friends who have spent years hosting panels at anime conventions. Third Impact Anime Podcast is built from those late-night hotel lobby debates and packed conference room discussions, channeling that energy into a deep dive into the medium we love. This isn't just a review show; it's an exploration of the threads that connect classic series to today's trending hits, always with an eye on the artistic choices and cultural history that shape them. You'll hear us unpack new releases and revisit forgotten gems, share stories from the convention floor, and occasionally sit down with special guests from across the anime community. The result is a podcast that feels like hanging out with the most knowledgeable fans you know-the ones who can't help but talk a little too much about the details that make anime so compelling. Join us for a bi-weekly look at the artistry and passion that fuels this global phenomenon.
