As another Friday in Japan has rolled on by, I decided to check out the NTV Kinro page to see if they had added the first Friday in August to the schedule listing. They had, and it was not good news.
For the first time since the Lupin specials began airing, there will not be a special aired on the last Friday of July or the first Friday of August. Hopefully, it will not be delayed too much longer or simply go the OVA route.
