I really don't like Fujiko Mine.
Actually, it would be more honest to say I hate the "woman who just seduces every man she meets by touching his thigh cause all men are horny idiots" trope that Fujiko embodies.
This whole movie just feels like we got some Lupin fan service wrapped with a rejected Killer 7 level. Fujiko is in every scene and always has her breasts exposed, or she's saying something sexual to fuel someone's mommy fetish.
And it gets really dull, really fast.
The villain also feels more at home in JJBA or something. He's got some weird mind control powers and can create sandstorms by sweating because he ate a poison flower or something???????????
I get that its supposed to tie into the "assassin factory" plot arc but the other Assassins were somewhat believable. A sniper…

A woman called Fujiko is probably my favourite series within the Lupin the third sides. This story is really well articulated and definitely gives us some insight to the characters in the past. Before the Lupin gang was formed completely.
I have heard about people complaining about how Fujiko is a character that is despised as she always betrays Lupin and is known for having sex with a lot of people. Honestly, she didn’t really grow on me at first either. But this series definitely changed my view on Fujiko and it might have just been me. I think Fujiko is purposely made to fool Lupin and very sexualised because she’s meant to be a form of unexpectedness for Lupin. Lupin is attracted to Fujiko because of how she plays him. This series kind of shows how Lupin starts to show his interest i…

The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, while it did go out of it's way to make Fujiko so much more than a femme fatale or eye candy, also loses what makes Lupin III such a great series.
Now first of all, I want to say that the art direction for this series is amazing. While other darker Lupin fare like Goemon's Blood Spray had artwork that looked downright uncanny at times, A Woman Called Fujiko Mine is consistent in looking amazing. The animation is fluid and the stylization and shading is really cool. It looks close to the original manga in some ways. Ditto with the soundtrack. Duty Fiend just might be one of the best songs in the franchise, and Lupin III is known for great music in general. When it comes to the animation and aesthetic, this series knows exactly what it wants to be and nails it,…

I got into the lupin Series at part 4 three years after this came out, but I kept hearing good things about this series, So I finally knuckled down and watched and boy was I entertained. Lupin the third: the woman called Fujiko Mine ( Fujiko Mine) is a nice change of pace from the regular lupin format, and I can now see its influences on the following part 4 and five series.
Fujiko Mine's story is pretty impressive. We Follow Fujiko as the main lead for once for a more sordid tale and also an excellent development to her character. Though I will say it did not pan out exactly as I would have liked in the end.
Character-wise everyone is pretty much the same except for Zenigata who is a much more serious character in this series. I suppose he could say that about all the cast, but nowhere…

Let my preface this review by saying that there are facts that make me biased in the case of The Woman Called Fujiko Mine. I have watched many Lupin releases including the original Miyazaki TV series, also know as "green jacket" Lupin, as well as the 155 episode Part II, variably known as "red jacket" Lupin, as well as many of the movies and specials.
I have not finished Part III, a.k.a. "pink jacket" Lupin, because the ugly art has given me trouble in caring about it, and I have completed Part IV, a.k.a. Lupin (2015) or "blue jacket" Lupin, so I am a pretty well-versed fan of the Lupin franchise. I know that Fujiko Mine is supposed to an alternate retelling of the original series, but this series is a disgrace and is disgusting in every possible way.
Another point that makes me dislik…

Lupin III : Woman Named Fujiko Mine Mini Review/Thoughts Now that I finished it
It's freaking fun guys.This installment is my gateway to the franchise, and it's a pretty good gateway if you don't want to check out the older ones. It had Fujiko meeting the other characters from scratch for the first five episodes and it was a proper reboot. This installment had a unique art style too. The series is kind of similar to Masaaki's. Each of the episodes are really fun, adventurous and sexy. Fujiko is one of the hottest anime characters I've seen and the music is dope too. Going to start the rest of the series that aired after this one too.
My Overall Score : 9.0/10.0

One of the most mature and violent additions to the Lupin series, taking cues from the early anime and, from what I can tell, the source manga in general. Its style is impeccable, its music fantastic, and its writing as compelling and passionate as the woman thief herself.
This Lupin story functions as a alternate universe prequel, taking many mature and “adult” concepts and vignettes to explore the different headspaces of the Lupin cast. While it does clearly have a focus on Fujiko, it also delves into all of the other character’s motivations and backstories, twisting how they met and why. Considering that every character has had at least 3 different “how they met” scenarios, this isn’t much of an issue, and it works pretty well I think!
The character’s designs are pretty much exactly t…

This is one of the worst animes I've ever sat through in my life.
Starting off with the good: The art, animation, and sound are all top quality. It's made of stuff that can hold, so I see it aging well in those areas. The action scenes are very in one's face, and for it to be so dark themed it's vibrant and colorful! The characters are serious, but very energetic and goal oriented. No one is really depressed for this theme, but it handles serious issue.
The story, plot, and characters are the terrible part. They do a retelling of how the crew met and center it around Fujiko. Everyone has sex with her, wants to have sex with her, or wants to be her. At the same time, they shame her for having sex. And, I got tired of hearing her name by the last 4 eps.
My leading problem is Fujiko is usu…

To call Lupin The 3rd important is a severe understatement, it's influenced many anime. Pretty much any western style anime about a bunch of crazy characters going on adventures and getting into trouble owes something to Lupin The 3rd but that does that mean it's still relevant? It's still popular in Japan sure but with how many stagnant specials and how silly it can be, The franchise was started to get pretty stale, it definitely needed a change of pace to keep things interesting.
The result was to change Lupin from a cartoony comedy to a gritty Film Noir and to have the main character not be Lupin but Fujiko Mine and with a great team behind this as well, it had alot going for it but did it pay off or was Lupin just grandpa anime? This answer is most certainly Yes, this thief still get…

I'm going to say this from the start: Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine is, to me, an absolutely outstanding piece of art. I'll also say this: this review is gonna be unbelievably pretentious. Sorry :p.
It's probably not unfair to say that a lot of people, if not most people, watch anime primarily for straight-up, unadulterated enjoyment - fun, in other words - and this style of anime utterly floods the market. However, every so often there comes an anime or two that break the mold, and these more daring shows are absolutely crucial to reviving such a stagnant medium. I'd like to point out that I'm not just pontificating about the overabundance of moe girls and fanservice by myself, Miyazaki and Anno have been going on about the "dead End" (Anno) that anime has hit for years. My po…

Lupin III is a genuine classic in the world of anime and manga. Originally written and illustrated by Monkey Punch in 1967-1969, it was later adapted into an anime in 1971. It would be the first of several anime and movies that follow the adventures of Lupin III, and would lead to the franchise being one of the most recognizable titles in anime. So what's the series about? It follows the antics of master thief, Arsene Lupin III, as he travels around the world stealing the most valuable and challenging treasures the world has to offer. He's assisted by his allies, Jigen and Goemon, hunted by the determined Inspector Zenigata, and challenged by his ally/rival/kind-of, sort-of, not really, love interest, Fujiko Mine. Fujiko often played the part of damsel in distress and wily seductress. But…

I've rewatched this several times to get a better perspective and open my opinion. Woow! As any Lupin franchise fan knows, the history of the characters is volatile and trying to make any one back story canon will make your head explode. That said, I think this series has possibly the best back story for the characters.
CHARACTERS: Fujiko has never been one of my favorite characters. I think Jigen and I share the same opinion of her. But her meeting with the main characters (in this series at least) is great. First there was the Lupin episode (what happens at the end of that one, the start of their relationship was pretty neat), then the Jigen episode, then the adorable Goemon episode, and then OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH ZENIGATA! STOP IT!
Ok, I am a big Zenigata fan and I wade into e…

"She'll take it all and leave you wanting more," that is a quote I found on the retail box set of the this anime, and that latter half of this quote couldn't be more true.
STORY: This is the latest addition to one of Japan's longest running anime franchises, Lupin the Third. This anime attempts to show the series in a new light as something more of a dark and gritty prequel story to the franchise that apparently reveals Fujiko Mine's past. With the spotlight aimed centered on Fujiko Mine, thievery's leading lady in anime. The sexy seductress that steals everything she can finally has her back story split wide open in this heavily stylized and sexy episodic saga, and her latest heist? To steal your time and expectations.
It would be bad to jump straight into the flaws immediately, but I'l…

Never in my life did I think they could make a serious story out of Lupin the III, and then this came along.
If you are expecting the classic Lupin the III series with the same formulaic plot, then to quote Fujiko herself, Cease what you are doing and gaze at me, save for the throwing of your heart. Right away the opening should give you the first clue you are about to enter a very adult story, one charged with sexual energy.
It's very interesting to see the changes that have been made to some of the characters, so I'll get into it:
The biggest change I noticed was Zenigata, he's not an idiot in this show, he's actually portrayed quite the opposite, a very tough as nails cop determined to seek justice and not a bumbling moron.
Jigen and Goemon are pretty much the same as the were from…

Anime: Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine
Title: It's Lupin, what can I say?
About the Anime: Fujiko Mine: a woman so beguiling that the greatest thief on earth, Lupin III, has vowed to claim her as his most prized quarry. And while men lust after her, she only has eyes for one thing – all the beautiful treasures in the world that she can possibly steal. From the haunted opera houses of Japan to the boobie-trapped pyramids of Egypt, Fujiko uses both violence and sex to manipulate those who stand in her way. But with the tireless Lupin intervening in every situation to 'take' her, and the skilled rogues Jigen and Goemon entangling their own personal vendettas with hers, how is a woman to realize her wildest desires?
Story 7/10: Looking back at the various incarnations of Fujiko Mine…

Lupin the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna, in my opinion is one of the best remake ever. The style, the characters are very well done in this versio. I haven'tseen the 70s version but I think this version is more near to the manga than the original.
The plot was really interesting, everything in this anime was perfect in my opinion. There should be more anime with this style, because they are very enjoyable.

The Woman Called Fujiko Mine is certainly not standard Lupin III fare. Rather than the comical and over the top antics you would expect of Lupin and his group as they steal and outwit Zenigata, the humor here is more subdued and the series has a darker, more serious and mature feel to it. Fujiko finds herself the main attraction of this series as the first half to this series is prominently focused on her tackling different thefts while encountering Lupin, Goemon and Jigen individually and the second half features the four being caught up in the activity of a mysterious organization that Fujiko appears to have past ties with. The series appears set up as a prequel of sorts considering Jigen and Lupin don't know about one another and team up until later in the show, as well as Goemon hardly…

I'm conflicted over this anime. For starters, it's an excellent take on Lupin III with beautiful art and a darker storyline, and had an interesting crew consisting of a SHAFT/Gainax freelancer, a KyoAni art director, Dai Sato and Shinichi Watanabe.
On the other hand, it has a messy and pretentious story that kinda killed the "mystique appeal" of Fujiko Mine, added some unnecessary characters and is cluttered with bad writing by one of the biggest hacks in anime (And yes, i'm talking about Mari Okada).
The story of this Lupin III series is all about Fujiko Mine, and how she became to be that one hot chick you see in every Lupin III anime from the past 4 decades. You also see her trying to rob things and steal stuff but who cares.
It's basically Lupin III meets "Where in the World is Car…

This is my first review so I'll try my best for you guys. This is me editing my incomplete review after I have finished this AMAZING series. So like I said before Lupin the Third was a childhood favorite and something I have always loved. The high expectations I had for this anime were completely met 10 fold. I expected nothing less from a Lupin anime series. This series is way more serious than anything I've ever seen from any Lupin series or movie. It has funny moments but it doesn't focus on comedy as much as the original series did. I enjoyed that about this series. The fact that it was way more serious made me love it even more. I actually prefer the seriousness of the comedy version.
Story (9/10) - I think the story is very good especially near the end where everything is fully exp…
