Prison of the Past is coming soon to Blu-ray in the U.S!
The 2019 television special Lupin III: Prison of the Past is due to receive an English language release on Blu-ray video format in 2022, courtesy of Discotek Media!
Prison of the Past is one of the higher rated Lupin television specials, and it has been said to feel like an extended episode of Lupin III: Part 2. It is directed by Hatsuki Tsuji, and is written by Shatner Nishida. Hirotaka Marufuji, who is currently working on Lupin III: Part 6, handled the character designs.
Announced as part of their Twitch panel on the 14th of March 2022, the upcoming release is set to include both Japanese and English language dubs.
The English language audio was previously released on streaming services late last year, and premiered as part of a Sentai Filmworks’ Lupin panel at Anime NYC (on November 20th 2021). It stars Tony Oliver, Richard Epcar, Lex Lang, Michelle Ruff and Doug Erholtz all in their usual roles.
The Blu-ray release is set to include 1080p HD visuals, with a small smattering of bonus features, such as a clean OP / ED, theatrical trailers, and more.
