More Lupin is always welcome, I also would probably get the Fatal Fury stuff too, since it's been forever since I saw them.

gravedigger: They're working on it.

trunks+hack: Surprised Daisuki hasn't uploaded Ronin Warriors by now, at least.

I really wanted to watch DNA^2, and I could never find an English subbed version. I actually tried to watch a version with Spanish subs but didn't get far since high school Spanish wasn't really adequate to understand much.

Liberty Crisis is horrible. Not even so bad it's good, just flat out bad. Still not the worst Lupin movie (that award goes to From Russia with Love) but still really, really bad. License doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

Dragon Half is very fun. Also has a character named Dick Saucer. Unfortunately for Discotek, I already own ADV's release.

It's a disappointment for me, nothing I'm going to spend money on.

According to Reed Nelson, that dub has not been cleared to be used yet so hopefully TMS will by the time a release date is announced.

Neither is the worst, but Liberty Crisis is much worse (FRwL has a good heist).

Something like Fujiko's Unlucky Days, The Last Job, or Angel Tactics would be the worst. Those are painful.

Dragon Half & DNA^2? Awesome rescues. Glad new fans will be able to enjoy these shows. Been a while since I've seen Dragon Half, I should dig up my old copy.

It's got a dub on it, and it's a good testing ground for more 80s Lupin. A lot of us are still waiting for Babylon, after all.

Full agreement from me though I had to resort to watching Dragon Half on youtube and DNA^2 through even more nefarious means. Also, it wasn't that hard to find and it was even a dual language presentation so there are fans of the show out there years later.

Lupin? He's still out there, stealing stuff and not getting caught. If you can separate the details, "plot" I suppose, for each title, then it's for you. Anything with "Cut and paste" characters is not for me though.

Fatal Fury? If I've learned anything about anime and fighting video game adaptations, it's to stay away from them.

Animego: You can get used copies of the prior DVD releases fairly cheaply ATM.

Discotec strikes again altough this time around for a change i'm only excited about Lupin might just be because i don't know anything about the other titles but they don't seem very interesting to me.

I was waiting for Discotek to release another Lupin title, and they granted my wish by actually releasing the very first TV special. While the plot was campy, but that's what made it appealing to watch.

I always found Last Job to be painful, the choice of villains weren't appealing and it was a weak farewell TV special to Eiko, Goro, & Makio. Least they made the Gang's All Here OVA, which was a better farewell to Eiko, Goro, & Makio.
