Anime Expo 2013: ‘Naruto Shippuden: The Lost Tower’ Arrives on September 17th

It wasn’t just a matter of if, but when the next film in the Naruto franchise would be released in the West. But for those few who might have doubted it, rest assured. Naruto Shippuden: The Lost Tower is headed to DVD and Blu Ray combo pack on September 17th.

The Lost Tower involves Naruto chasing a deadly new foe, one unlike he’s ever seen before aside from every movie villain before this one. But unlike enemies of old, this fight will see Naruto sent back in time where he meets Minato Namikaze, the man who would become the legendary 4th Hokage. Hmm, the only other dark blonde character in the entire world. I wonder if they’re related…

Keep your eyes peeled for the film’s release, which is sure to hit Viz’s streaming service, Neon Alley, shortly before the release date. But until then, we’ll just have to wait and see how Naruto avoids shattering the space time continuum or preventing his own birth fully English dubbed. Any Naruto fans out there excited? Watch the trailer below and get hyped! Believe it!
