posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
TMS began streaming a character introduction trailer on Friday for Lupin III franchise.
TMS also revealed that those who attend the film will receive a collection of "secret" original drawings.
A net anime Kenyū Horiuchi will play a fake Lupin in the anime.
The "hard action" net anime centers on Inspector Zenigata, Lupin's nemesis and erstwhile ally, as the protagonist. The story begins with an explosive terrorist attack in an airport in the wintry "Roviet Union," (a wordplay on the Japanese term for the Soviet Union) with Lupin cast as the prime suspect. Zenigata apprehends Lupin, who maintains his innocence, and Zenigata is quickly embroiled in a plot that seems to involve more than one Lupin.
The film's story follows Lupin and his team as they seek a treasure on a mysterious unmarked island.
New cast include:
- Ainosuke Kataoka as Muomu, an immortal man
- Aoi Morikawa as Sarifa, a mysterious girl who serves Muomu
B'z will perform the film's theme song "The IIIRD Eye".
According to the staff, the film will be the first new 2D feature-length anime film in the franchise in nearly 30 years, since Lupin III vs. Cat's Eye were both crossover films.
