Hopefully someone picks up the rights & releases the Zenigata Koike-verse OVA on blu ray before too long.

Huh, would have thought Discotek would have continued with their Koike releases, but I guess Gkids would have been the most likely next choice.

It wasn't mentioned in the announcement, but it'd be nice if the prequel ended up being included.

I'll be sure to be picking this up though to have the complete Koike-verse on my shelf =)

No steelbook like The First had is a bummer, just another disappointment to go along with the lack of CE that was promised for The First Slam Dunk.

TMS probably went with them in order to get it in theaters, just like with The First.

The extras are out and Zenigata's not included and I doubt they even have it considering where it was dubbed at and GKids not even being involved with it (as confirmed in the credits on Amazon Prime, it's another dub TMS USA paid for themselves).

Don't forget that Toho owns GKids, and thus Bloodline.

I wish they would just release the entire Koike Lupin the third saga in a blu ray box set. It would be so much easier than buying each one separately. Hopefully if Bloodline sells well, they will consider it.
I hope Koike gets to do more projects after Lupin (after a nice rest of course). His style is very cool and visually distinct in comparison to most anime titles these days.
Also I'm very curious what the next Lupin anime project will be after Bloodline. I assume it will be part 7 but it may be another separate Lupin project for all we know.
I honestly wait.
