The fall 2021 anime series Lupin the Third: Part VI is getting some new distribution. With Sentai Filmworks and HIDIVE handling it in North America, UK distributor Anime Limited announced in May 2023 that they had picked up the rights to it. They’ve now scheduled a collector’s edition Blu-ray release set for an April 15th, 2024 release priced at £79.99 for the three-disc set coded for region B. It’ll be a bilingual release that comes with “Episode 0”, clean opening and closing animations, and seven Japanese promos.
The set contains three Blu-ray discs in a Digipak, housed within a rigid Collector’s slipcase. Also included is a 52-page booklet packed with artwork from the entire series.
Yuuichirou Yano directed it based on the series composition by Ichiro Okouchi. Hisao Yokobori worked on the character designs and Telecom Animation Film handled the animation.
The Japanese cast includes Daisuke Namikawa as Goemon Ishikawa, Kanichi Kurita as Arsene Lupin III, Kiyoshi Kobayashi as Daisuke Jigen, Kouichi Yamadera as Inspector Zenigata, Miyuki Sawashiro as Fujiko Mine, Inori Minase as Ami Enan, Kenjiro Tsuda as Albert Dandorojii, amd Nobunaga Shimazaki as Gorō Yadagarasu.
