“As someone who has been a fan of Lupin III since The Castle of Cagliostro, I was blown away by quality of animation and storytelling in Lupin The 3rd: The First.
GKIDS will release Lupin The 3rd: The First theatrically in 2020 in both Japanese and an all-new English language dub.
GKIDS, the acclaimed producer and distributor of animation for adult and family audiences, announced that it has acquired the North American distribution rights for the animated feature Lupin The 3rd: The First, a new animated feature from director/screenwriter Takashi Yamazaki (Stand By Me Doraemon, Dragon Quest: Your Story).
The gang undertakes trap-filled tombs, aerial escapades and daring prison escapes with the trademark wit and visual finesse that have made Lupin The 3rd: The First one of the most storied animation franchises in the world, in a thrilling new caper that is sure to delight fans old and new.
