An anime shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup. It's about a gang of theives trying to steal everything that looks valuable and an insane detective who is determined to catch Lupin, the main character of the show, at all costs. Most of the characters on the show basically all look alike: the men are all tall and skinny with bowlegs and the women are tall and thin with big boobs. At first glance, the show looks a little like Cowboy Bebop, but without spacships and inerplanetary travel.
