Those who were at the Toonami Panel got to see a special screening of part 1 which was later made available on the Toonami Facebook which can be viewed below.
• Lupin The 3rd Part V was originally planned to be announced at MomoCon but was leaked at a previous panel a month earlier forcing Toonami to make the announcement earlier than planned.
Why didn’t you hold out the Lupin announcement for Momocon? — One of the voice actors leaked it in a panel the month before so we had no choice. The original plan was to announce it at Momocon. https://t.co/F1T2qlX3AK

On a side note for those of you wondering if the music for Lupin The 3rd Part V will be changed, per our sources via Discotek Media, there is no replacement music, however the music used for the dub IS the original music and that neither Toonami/Adult Swim or DIscotek Media had any hand in the decision to have different music. Part IV was produced for an Italian broadcast (hence being set in Italy) and actually aired in Japan later.
So if you want to be technical, the Ohno score IS the replacement one.
That was it for announcements however there were several noteworthy things from the Toonami panel to mention.
• 3 or 4 more original shows are currently being developed for Toonami.
• The folks at Adult Swim have imagined putting Toonami as its own block but it would cause too much pressure and money. (By this we assumed have an entire night of AS just for Toonami.)
• There would be a Toonami conceptual art book if enough people showed support to buy it.
• If you were at the panel you got a special early look at the first episode of Attack on Titan Season 3 part 2 which is going to premiere tonight on Toonami at 11:30pm E/T.
