Fist of the North Star TV Licensed

Lupin the Third Episode 0 First Contact Also Picked Up

Discotek has made a surprising announcement on their site with news that they've picked up three anime titles for release in 2010. Discotek has been very cautious with what they have licensed, mostly going for movies that have either a broad appeal as classics or niche movies that have a dedicated buying audience. They're making their first foray into TV series territory by licensing...

All 152 episodes of Fist of the North Star TV, which will be released in four box sets, which should equate to about thirty eight episodes per box. They have not indicated whether any of the original dub will be included with this release or if the translation will be the same as used for the streaming versions Toei has been showing at Crunchyroll, Hulu and FUNimation's video portals.

Lupin fans have reason to celebrate as well after quite some time with nothing new as they've picked up Lupin the Third Episode 0 First Contact, a TV special that originally aired in 2002. Discotek is also going with another old school classic with a pick-up of the animated title from Sanrio, Sea Prince and the Fire Child.

How's the writing on Fist for the tv series?  Movie was the bomb back in the day.

I certainly hope this means we'll be seeing the Lupin the 3rd: Green vs. Red OVA in the not-too-distant future (and possibly the Lupin vs. Detective Conan TV special, but that might fall under Funimation's jurisdiction).
