Lupin III: Part III: A Grounded Lupin That Forgot to Be Wild
There’s a strange identity crisis at the core of Lupin III Part 3, and it’s impossible to ignore once you see it. This is a series that feels like it wants to evolve, but never fully commits to what that evolution should look like.
Visually, it’s the most immediate departure. The character designs are exaggerated, almost elastic at times, and if you’re coming straight from Part 2, the adjustment isn’t smooth. It feels off. But here’s where it gets interesting: while the characters can look inconsistent or even awkward, the background art is consistently excellent. Even in weaker episodes, there’s a level of environmental detail and atmosphere that quietly carries scenes that would otherwise fall flat. The world looks alive even…

Lupin III Part 3 is seen as the weakest in the series.
And I understand why. The animation in this is pretty bad.
HOWEVER, bad animation aside Part 3 is frankly amazing.
It has the most touching, tragic stories that would make you cry.
Its also one of my favorite portrayals of Fujiko. Because she’s not a giant c*#% in this one compared to the other seasons.
I think its one of the few seasons where it shows how much she really cares for Lupin. She still betrays him in this as usual. But she would cry if anything bad were to happen to him. Fujiko is frankly adorable in this.
This season also has a cool intro "Sexy Adventure”.
And a great outro “Fairy Night” which is so soothing to listen to.

Lupin III: Part III is without question the least talked about out of all the Lupin III series. If I had to guess why that is, I assume it would be because of it's choice of style for one. It has more of a cartoony feel and makes some questionable changes to the looks of the characters. These changes vary throughout the course of the 50 episode anime. It can take some time to get use to if you're familiar with the previous series which in itself was pretty different from the original series. Part III to me resembles the art in the manga. Monkey Punch (creator) was influenced by a few artists who worked on Mad magazine which is fairly obvious if you have read the manga. I could go into more detail about that but I'm going give you some basic knowledge and also tell you why the show is a bla…
