I'm pretty happy about this, it is kind of hard to get your hands on this movie that includes the Japanese audio track. Secret of Mamo is absolutely crazy, but it is a nice Lupin the Third film that I will gladly add to my collection.

Hey! I think Discotek has officially made history by being the very first English anime company to release FOUR English dubs of one anime!
...or am I wrong? |

Four English dubs? Might as well call this the Mike Toole Edition.
My response to Lupin III: The Secret of Mamo was a little lukewarm, but it was fun to watch and I like the idea of giving DiscoTek money. Besides, the panoply of English dubs adds a lot of interest. Having the Toho dub is particularly impressive given what a pain it must have been to stitch together. Last edited by Surrender Artist on Tue Jul 17, 2012 4:56 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I figured that Discotek would eventually pick this up. It's personally my favorite Lupin film. It's good fun and has very luscious animation. I thought they'd only put the 2003 English dub on there, but it's good to know that all of them will be featured in addition to the Japanese audio. The only version I've seen is the old 1978 dub when I edited the audio to fit Pioneer's footage. It'd be nice if we knew exactly who those voice actors were (other than fan-guesses, though while they seem legit, haven't been totally proven). The voice acting and script were surprisingly good for an old cheap anime dub from the 70s, and they left in all the cursing and nudity. It was an early example of a "straight" anime English dub, and I love their English version of the ending song. It'll be nice to see the other three English dubs on there. While the 2003 one is pretty easy to find, the 1995 one can only be found on a cheap bargain-bin DVD, and the 1996 one is extremely rare.
Can't wait to pick this up! ![]() |

I'm a pretty big Lupin fan, but after watching "Woman Named Fujiko Mine" my memory got kind of F-ed up (Like Fujiko!). Did Lupin ever sleep with Fujiko in the movies or TV show? I know they did in the manga all the time, but I'm drawing a blank on the animated stuff.

This sounds like Mike Toole's dream release. It seems to have every dub ever made for this movie.

Wow, they must of read my mind. Cause I kept predicting the next Secret of Mamo licensed DVD to have 4 different english dubs of the same movie. And here I am reading about this news.
While it isn't my all time favorite Lupin movie, but if it's Lupin related I'll own it. And I can now truely replace my Geneon DVD for this one. Cause I've long to actually watch the other English dubs of this film, cause I'm a bit obcessed with comparing one English dub to another when it comes to anime. I own both the Funimation One Piece DVDs & whatever episodes were released for the abolished 4Kids One Piece. So I'll gladly buy this, and can't wait for any other Lupin anime Discotek might license next. |

Wow! I already own the Geneon DVD, but a Discotek re-release means a new Reed Nelson audio commentary, which is definitely worth double dipping for.
![]() Are they still planning on bringing out the Babylon movie too? |

I regret that I don't have any of the Lupin III Discotek releases beyond their version of The Fuma Clan Conspiracy (which I also have the AnimEigo DVD release of, too). ALL their Lupin III are on my to-buy list including the live-action film.
Love Lupin III... it was actually the Cartoon Network broadcasts that got me into the character and compelled me to get all the Geneon DVD releases while they were readily available and reasonably (very cheap!) priced -- in addition to all the movies Funimation licensed. Very, very sad that Lupin III is so under-rated in the States. He's one of the better-enduring icons of anime. I think he's held up better than Astro Boy, Kimba, and even (arguably) Gundam and Macross. The character has never been as mishandled as other icons or become as arguably dated and repetitive as some of the other icons are now, too. |

A first for four different audio tracks to be on the same disc for an anime movie?
![]() Impressive. Discotek has me tempted to buy this next year when it pops up. |

I'm starting to think it might be a good idea to issue a two disc collection, and split the dubs up on the discs, and maybe put the Japanese audio on one, and a commentary on the other. Just an idea. Though of course I'd prefer it all to be on one disc, but I wouldn't mind the other way as well.
