Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine is a Japanese anime television series produced by TMS Entertainment, and is the fourth anime television adaptation of the Lupin III franchise. It aired on Nippon TV from April to June 2012, with a total of 13 episodes. Unlike previous anime in the franchise, it focuses on the sensuality present in the original manga, with a darker and more serious tone. The series centers on Fujiko Mine as she undertakes various missions and encounters the rest of the Lupin III cast for the first time. It is the only installment in the franchise to be directed by a woman and the first TV series in which Lupin is not the protagonist. Directed by Sayo Yamamoto, character design and animation direction were handled by Takeshi Koike. The series won the New Face Award at the 16th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2012. Music was composed by Naruyoshi Kikuchi, with Shinichirō Watanabe serving as music producer. This series marked a shift towards a more mature approach for the Lupin the 3rd franchise, and is often considered part of the "Lupin the IIIrd" universe. Lupin III is a classic series created by mangaka Monkey Punch, which follows the adventures of master thief Arsène Lupin III, blending action, comedy, and romance.
