Part 4 Blu-ray re-release coming to Japan!
A new Blu-ray release featuring 2015’s Lupin III: Part 4 is coming to Japan this August.
The set, which is being produced in celebration of the original 1971 shows 50th anniversary, will include all 26 episodes in 1080p high definition. The Japanese audio language version is included, along with a twelve page booklet featuring information regarding the show.
Pre-orders are to take place shortly, with a full release coming on August 25th for ¥24,200. An exclusive sticker will feature as part of a first come first serve order bonus, although details on what the sticker looks like have yet to be shown.
Check out the packaging design below.
Previously, the series released on Blu-ray in Japan as part of a collection spanning eight separate volumes, and this will mark the first time all episodes have been included as part of one two disc set.
As an interesting side note, TMS Entertainment now appear to be referring to the show as Part 4 rather than Part IV, as they did previously. This is likely to bring it more in line with Part 5 and Part 6, which feature simple numbers in their names, instead of roman numerals.
More information can be found over on the VAP website.
