Lupin the 3rd Part 1 to Premiere English Dub on YouTube and Theaters

TMS Entertainment will be streaming the world premiere of the English dubbed first episode of Lupin the 3rd Part 1, the company announced on Saturday.

The company shared the announcement just ahead of the premiere date, with the episode set to go live on the official TMS YouTube channel on October 24, 2021, at 12 p.m. EDT. The episode will be available on the YouTube channel until October 31, 2021, so fans will have a full week to check it out.

TMS Entertainment also announced that they would be screening the first episode’s English dub alongside the first two episodes of the Lupin the 3rd Part 6 television series with English subtitles in select U.S. theaters. This special event will run from October 24-28, and the full list of theaters participating in the event can be found by heading over to Sentai Filmworks’ website.

The original Lupin the 3rd manga was created by Monkey Punch and has inspired five previous anime series, plus the spin-off Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine.

There have been multiple theatrical films including the critically acclaimed Castle of Cagliostro and over a dozen anime specials. The last anime in the series began in 2018 and was aired on Toonami in North America while also airing subtitled on Crunchyroll. The first anime adaptation debuted on October 24, 1971, with Lupin the 3rd: Part 6 having released just this month in Japan to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the series.
