Mystery of Mamo Blu-ray due in March!
The 1978 theatrical Lupin III film is returning to the United States – and this time, in 1080p HD!
Originally released on DVD by Discotek Media on February 26, 2013, The Mystery of Mamo is notable for being the first ever animated feature length Lupin III film.
While the atmosphere / characterization is dark at times and the plot goes rather zany, it is perhaps one of the most Lupin-like films to exist to date. Mamo draws parallels to the original manga series in terms of tone and art style, and it is considered an all-time classic amongst fans.
The new release is to include updated liner notes, the Japanese audio dub and all four English dubs. The English dubs included are from Frontier Productions (1978), Streamline Pictures (1994), Manga UK (1995) and Geneon / Phuuz (2005).
