On Monday February 23, Anime Limited will release a Blu-ray edition of Lupin Zero, containing the 6-part series, which is described as follows:

"The exploding megalopolis of 1968 Tokyo is a wonderland filled with constant innovations, tempting opportunities, and beautiful girls! Unfortunately for young Arsene Lupin (the Third), his father, Arsene Lupin II, insists that young Lupin stay on the right side of the law and avoid those temptations… even though Lupin III's Granddad, Arsene Lupin I, the world's greatest thief, has stuffed young Lupin's head with the tricks of his nefarious trade!

"Then Lupin III encounters similarly trouble-prone schoolmate Daisuke Jigen, and when bad boy meets bad boy, what do you think they're going to do? It's the start of a beautiful friendship and the wildest crime spree of all time."

Daisuke Sakō (Lupin the Third: Part 5 chief animation director, Lupin III Italian Game animation director) directed the anime at Telecom Animation Film. Ichirō Ōkouchi (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Sk8 the Infinity, Valvrave the Liberator) oversaw the series scripts, and Asami Taguchi (Lupin III Italian Game, Lupin III: Part IV character design assistant) designed the characters. Yoshihide Otomo (INU-OH, Otona no Ikkyū-san) composed the music. Seiichi Shirato (Lupin the Third: Part 5, Lupin the IIIrd: Jigen's Gravestone) was credited for setting research.
