Tiaramode seems to have changed their artist

Which might be quite nice, also they've developed two games - one adult oriented and the other seems like a sweet shoujo story.
The first is Ribbon Magic and is all Catholic demons and angel dum dum DUUM! I know that I shouldn't really be so naive as to thinks that Tiaramode do absolutely harmless things but the the girl looks suspiciously ten, so my thoughts are that she's a speacial Chosen one and has to decide which side to back up.
The other one is called Crazy Rabbit. This one isn't out yet, or in anycase the site is keeping very quiet about it. bastards.

ルパン三世 Green vs RED


Re-watched it. Still find it great. This time got a subbed version so finally understood some bits. During the first (few) times hadn't managed to grasp the idea that Yasuo did not intentionally become Lupin. This time had a nice understanding that being a criminal genius is hard and you have to make your own entertainment, like for example carefully raising an opponent worth fighting (maybe the creators read a lot about Vetinari?).Has become one of my favourites for ever and ever and ever. Also love the many nods to Castle of Caligostro they have been having lately.
About the end, am sure that the weird guy at the ramen shop is a post-op Yasuo after all, he knew Yukiko but she didn't) and Lupin nicked Yasuo's ring as a keepsake and an entertaining memory of [another?] experiment gone wrong. Somehow it's a theme the anime has lately - looking for a subtitute and pointing him in the right direction only to have him fail at the end. Maybe am looking too much into this because of Jigoku Shoujo III (maybe they are working together, muaha)
The voices are a bit strained, but I suppose that that is how it is and I can only hope that the seiyuu know how much joy they bring the die-hard fans. Looks like we'll be getting a new Zenigata, also possibly Goemon
