This isn't a Blu-ray but rather 4K that requires its own player (but can still play Blu-rays). Most 4Ks are region free however this will be completely in Japanese. Also by its design, this will be the only Lupin TV series outside of any possible future productions that will have a 4K release...

One of the big ones that was floating around was James Bond. That series is so successful that it even inspired Takeo Saito doing Golgo 13 because he was actually doing 007 manga and Cobra as bit of Bond influence too. It went beyond the manga and into the anime with many Bond riffs that pop up...

In the early 2000s TV Specials, they did use whatever was the latest technology. Even Goemon had a mobile before he was retconned to "can't use technology unless they literally teach him step by step"... If we timeline adjust, yeah I can see some of them using early social media. As for MySpace...

Going through the Wayback Machine of the original forums and found something interesting. A co-production between Warner Bros. and TMS of a Lupin III film that fell through, even Monkey Punch, Telecom and Yasuo Otsuka were on board. It was going to be for a younger audience but still maintaining...

Don't worry about it! Double dipping, triple dipping and even quad dipping is part of the physical media game. People have rebought DVDs, Blu-rays whether it's a remaster, a steelbook, a collector's edition or imported another release from another country just wanting to support a series. At...

Yay! If it's not for personal issues, would have been so down to get it. The thing that I'm wondering about is "freshly mastered" when it's a SD set. As mentioned before Discotek were not happy with the condition of the masters used in the Japanese and Italian Blu-rays, believing for years to...

She wasn't the original Fujiko, that was Eiko Masuyama and Yukiko Nikaido only got the role in Part 1 as Osumi wasn't happy with her but still her role as Fujiko did have many fans and loved her performance (The Emerald's Secret is the only time both Fujiko VAs were in an episode). Apparently...

I don't think it would affect Lupin too badly, at least in the short term... This would be far more serious if Crunchyroll had the rights but since Lupin in the US is split between Discotek and GKIDS, it just makes it a bit harder to get. After all there's Amazon who are the most popular and...

If it's the English channel, it could be that on May 25th TMS are going to upload the Lupin vs Conan TV Special onto YouTube (in the US) for a limited time only. I mean they have uploaded various Lupin TV Specials and Detective Conan movies in the past. Yeah, I don't think it's going to be...

It sounds like a case of finding probably the last big shipment from a warehouse. After all Discotek stopped making DVDs literally after Part 2 and dropped the planned included DVD of The Last Job, they declared their entire DVD library to be OOP. Once it's gone, it's gone and I guess that...

This is such a shock, I don't know what to say... He was one of the magic ingredients to the series, gave us the core themes especially for the other characters (like Zenigata March), so many but also had range too. He was a long part of the series, even with cast changes (outside of Fuma...

Yeah. I can take any animation adaptation spinoff of Zenigata whether its original stories, live action, manga, Zero style, whatever. - His backstory starts at a later time frame than Lupin Zero, maybe Zenigata in his early-mid 20s. Maybe late teens at a push like that manga story with Lupin...

Telecom was one of those names you knew that you would have gotten some great animation after its wobbly start. In a few cases, the Miyazaki touch as he briefly worked there. The amount of influential shows and movies that they worked on, not just Lupin but also the likes of DuckTales...

It might be a long shot but does anyone know the connection between Lupin III and City Hunter and to a certain extent a connection between TMS and Sunrise? I'm still wondering how the Lupin/Jigen cameo in Angel Dust happened especially due to modern Japanese copyright law where you're lucky to...

Yeah, trying to think... Much of the Part 1 audience is aging, even then it's divided between Osumi and Miyazaki. If there's any merch, it would be like watches, pachinko and booze, the latter does have a promotion at the moment anyway and I think we're due yet another pachinko machine... Since...

Ah... So it did happen after months of kind of being a worst kept secret. The trailer pleased my ears. Don't mind me wrong. Both the Streamline and Manga dubs are good for their timeframes and even now, they are still great with their performances. It's fun to compare dubs like Mamo. It's just...
