Project A-Ko 3: Cinderella Rhapsody
Description: This Cinderella Story's Happy Ending is Anything But! Spring is in the air, and that means love is sure to follow. Or at least, overpowered redhead A-ko really hopes it does!

When C-ko runs away, she's nearly hit by handsome hunk and motorcyclist Kei, who is in turn hit by a panicking A-ko rushing after her friend. Left with only a glass slipper earring to remember "her" by, when A-ko and Kei meet again at A-ko's part-time job, the passion of youth is sure to bloom! Or will it? Throw in conniving B-ko's plans to ruin anything good for A-ko, a whiny C-ko, and a whole mess of mecha, and you've got yourself a Cinderella Rhapsody! Discotek is bursting with pride to present this beloved anime classic in high-definition for the very first time anywhere!

When the gang learns a wealthy buyer is offering Fujiko 50 million dollars for the long-lost prophecies of Nostradamus inside Douglas' vault, they all work together to track down Julia and infiltrate the cutting-edge tower. But the growing Nostradamus Sect, who claim to predict modern calamities using the same lost prophecies, will not make Lupin's job easy. Can the gang escape the wrath of Douglas, outwit the Nostradamus Sect, rescue an old pro from an island prison, and defeat the villainous mercenary Chris? Do they have any hope of claiming the lost prophecies and the 50-million-dollar reward?
