Wiki.
Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine (Japanese: LUPIN the Third(ルパン ザ サード) ~峰不二子という女~, Hepburn: Rupan za Saado ~Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna~) is a Japanese anime television series produced by TMS Entertainment. Part of the Lupin III franchise, it is the fourth anime television adaptation of the Lupin III manga series created by Monkey Punch. Directed by Sayo Yamamoto, it aired on Nippon TV from April to June 2012. It focuses on the franchise's heroine, Fujiko Mine, as she undergoes various missions and encounters the rest of the Lupin III cast for the first time. Unlike the franchise's previous three televised anime, The Woman Called Fujiko Mine is more sexually oriented in order to capture the "sensuality" present in the original manga, as well as darker and more serious. It is also the only installment in the franchise to be directed by a woman and the first in which Lupin III is not the protagonist.
VAP released the anime on home video in four-disc DVD and Blu-ray box sets in September 2012. Funimation simulcasted the series, with English subtitles, on their website and Nico Nico for North American audiences as it aired in Japan. They released The Woman Called Fujiko Mine in Blu-ray and Blu-ray/DVD sets in August 2013, including an English-language dub. Manga Entertainment released a similar set in the United Kingdom in September, whereas Hanabee released it in Australasia in two parts, in October and November 2013.
The Woman Called Fujiko Mine received generally positive reviews from critics. It won the New Face Award at the 16th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2012.
