Plot Summary – A Time Slip of 10,000 Years: Prime Rose
When a mysterious entity known as Death Mask catapults Kujukuri City, Japan, and Dallas, Texas 10,000 years into the future, the two regions are fused into a brutal, post-apocalyptic world. Amid the chaos, Gai Tanbara steps forward to fight for survival and freedom.
On his journey, Gai meets Emiya, a fearless warrior determined to reclaim her city from Death Mask’s tyranny. Together, they face relentless battles, twisted technology, and the looming threat to all humanity in this sci-fi action epic that still resonates decades later.
Why This Blu-ray Release Matters
For anime historians, Tezuka fans, and collectors, this Blu-ray release is significant because:
-
It preserves one of Osamu Tezuka’s lesser-known works in high quality.
-
Includes both original and modern English dub options.
-
Offers fans worldwide a chance to revisit a rare, time-travel sci-fi anime classic.
With Prime Rose finally receiving proper restoration, it stands alongside other Tezuka classics like Metropolis and Phoenix as an essential watch for anime enthusiasts.
