It seems an odd thing to say that one of the darkest, grittiest, most libidinous interpretations of Lupin's world is the most feminine, but like Fujiko, the contradiction begets the intrigue.
Read full reviewUnique visuals are complemented by sexy, gritty story-telling and strong characters to create a series that feels fresh and dares to be different.
Read full reviewA visually stunning character study of one of anime's most iconic female characters with an interesting spin on her love of stealing, as well as her relationship with the other members of the Lupin III crew. Unfortunately the ending loses itself in its desire to form the whole of Fujiko that it becomes confusing.
