Lupin the Third Part II TV series licensed by Discotek

[GATSU]

MOD HIJACK by Reed:
Relevant details:

There's no proper HD master for PART II, only a rough upscale, so I think it would be an SD-BD if [a Blu-ray version] came out.

Will be released across several DVD sets, specifics not final. Odds are good there will be a splitting point where the Pioneer DVDs end, but nothing is certain yet.


Original Post:

Yes, red jacket has been confirmed as being scheduled for DVD by Discotek. Thanks to @LupinCentral for the tip.

I just saw this on Discotek's facebook. I'm ecstatic.

Wondrous time for Lupin fans, if Part IV were to be streamed, than my life would be complete.

Fantastic! This is the best Christmas present I could have asked for! For the past half a year, I've been hoping to wake up to this news and that day is finally here.

I wonder if this may mean the rumors regarding even more PHUUZ dubbed episodes that Geneon never released is true.

It says that Episodes 80-155 will have improved subtitles, so I doubt it.

If nothing else, the subtitles will be improved. That doesn't mean no one's looking into the missing dubs rumor.

Going by the Discotek's past high quality releases, I would say we'll either get the Original R2J Release Master or the slightly altered one Geneon used.

Hey, everyone! I know I'm way too late in responding to this, but I was so excited to find out this Monday when I saw the article on ANN that I had to contain myself from screaming in front of relatives while I was out of town. lol! This truly made my end of the year! ^_^ After 11 years of being a fan (introduced by this very version as well), I and many others will finally be able to own ALL 2nd TV series episodes! Talk about a dream come true!

pretty slick guess we have to wait wili tho

Oh heck yes, haven't visited the forums for a few months, only to return and see this.  I am super stoked for Part II to get the Discotek treatment.  I will definitely be purchasing these without a doubt.  I was thrilled years back to finally get to see Part I thanks to their DVD release of it, and now the series that got me into Lupin (Part II on Cartoon Network back when I was in college) will finally get a quality release to add to my collection.  Can't wait for this.

Reed just tweeted the first set is scheduled for December with the remaining three planned for next year.

Edit: Trailer shown at Otakon.

Edit 2: DT's tentative release date for the first set is now Dec. 20. Also, @jose_cnn says the Richard Epcar interview will be in the second set.
