Lupin the Third: Fujiko Mine's Lie · review
STORY: Finally! Things are starting to come together! The last few years have seen a series of Lupin movies in the same art style. This was the last one in the "series" as we move on to the finale. I really hope that the next one is Zenigata focused. A fun thing about this story was flipping the typical Lupin story about a young girl, damsel in distress story on it's head with Fujiko working to help a young boy. The story has no morale, nor overly dramatic Hero's Journey type ending. Fujiko isn't Lupin, after all. Fujiko is Fujiko, and will always be Fujiko.She's the one in the group that will never evolve as a character, and there's nothing wrong with that. She's successful, and stopped being the damsel a LONG time ago. So why change? It's who she is, and this story is true to that.
ART: Absolutely gorgeous animation. A lot of effort put into the animation for sure. Something that was pretty neat was that this was a... no jacket Lupin story. Which makes sense, because it was Fujiko's story, not Lupin's.
ENJOYMENT: Another gem in the Lupin franchise. There's some enjoyment here in a one time watch; not sure it's good enough for a rewatch, but I enjoyed it!
