| Lupin the 3rd Part 6 |
I'm 100% that bitch! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, April 16!
Our Top Pick tonight is the latest the return of Lupin in Lupin the 3rd Part 6 (Adult Swim, 1:30 a.m.). The anime franchise returns after a 2-and-a-half year Toonami break since the fifth series. This time the gentleman thief is being chased by none other than Sherlock Holmes, who believes Lupin murdered his partner, Dr. Watson. Meanwhile, Lupin is searching for treasure hidden by a shadowy organization.
Elsewhere, The Purge is Forever, Shenmue finds Yuanda Zhu, Murdoch spies on a private life, there's an Attack on Jaegerists, Lifetime discovers Wrath, Lizzo goes Live, and Would Julie Klausner Lie is answered.
