The upcoming television program known as Mankatsu is based on the work of Monkey Punch, featuring typical characters from that author's other works. This show includes elements such as sexual innuendo and suggestive humor, which are common in many Monkey Punch productions.
Each episode is divided into Mini Stage lasting 15 minutes and Grand Stage lasting 30 minutes mixed with 60 second segments. The Lupin characters appear in small 60 second segments called The Lupin Gang however they are voiceless as it relies on visual gags, they also appear in the Mankatsu Monkey segments featuring a monkey that only says "Mankatsu".Outside of Japan, the series only received a TV airing in Italy on the defunct satellite channel Cooltoon and received a DVD Box Set in France. It also received a Russian dub.(Source: Wikipedia, Lupin III Wiki)
