Damned satisfying ending.

And the still left with question "How Fujiko Mine became Fujiko Mine". Successful troll is successful but I really liked this series despite some flaws.

What an anti climactic end, the true master mind was a bedridden anorexic girl hook up to a "GLaDOS" machine, Wow, Just, the best part was Jigen vs Goemon that was epic but never the lest i still enjoyed this episode one can truelly say a a "mother's love knows no bounds" if that what you want to call it, i empathize for her for going throgh all that traumatizing stuff but damn all that for such a reason?

at least we know it wasnt fujiko real memory

and Fujiko was a Bitch dance and playing around while the girl die, that well A bitch move right there so messed up

That was a good final episode, didn't see it coming that the mastermind was Aisha and it felt like it was an appropriate closure to the whole story.

I liked Jigen and Goemon as owl dudes, their faces were funny.

I agree, that was not a nice move of Fujiko, giving Aisha freedom, telling her she can't do a thing and showing off her hot body, bitch.

What happened to Oskar, did I miss him?

So yeah, watching this series was a worse experience than watching the Star Wars prequels.

No amount of artistic imagery, beautiful visuals and jazzy music can compensate for bad writing, pretentious bullshit, and a middle finger ending.

4/10 And Mari Okada needs to stop writing. She's making Shyamalan and Lucas look good.

Great and unique animation style but overall I didn't like the series very much.
6/10

ye this show just implies that Fujiko is just a born thief, its her nature to steal anything even stealing happiness from a disabled girl like Aisha by making her jealous

but overall not a bad show its better than most mainstream moe/ecchi anime we see today

hmm quite the unexpected story end on this finale ep

white powder appear got jigen seeing owl people with lupin run from shooting.

lupin reveal more that experiment with lead to aisha being main control of devices.
with cause mind control, brainwashing, etc on all being experiment.

but aisha continue the works on experiment little girls but failed.
til maid appear but the maid is fujiko yea she was also experiment.
yet see fujiko's life from steal to "do it" got aisha interest.
til fujiko's locked past got aisha hmm so cue destroy it all.
then experiment goes hmm with oscar doing "kill all bad girls" with gas tank truck.

jigen & goemon call it draw to take their leave.
zenigata look crime scene & wonder where oscar?
goemon sit on boat while jigen pickup lupin & fujiko take her plane ride.

the end.

indeed quite hmm story give so many twist, confuse, etc yea mix of inception indeed quite a story i think now wait for dub.

Well, that's some fine trolling there, destroying any kind of theory i had before. As much as i hate to admit it, this ending felt very appopriate and satisfying. I liked this series, i liked coming up with some theories thorough it, i don't mind it being for naugh and last episode destroying them all.

This shit was good, 'nuff said.
8/10.

Goemon was so hawt in dat Fujiko outfit. You know if you didn't cut the owl's clothes you could have changed right dude?

Meh this felt anti-climactic and there were some really bad episodes along the way. And they did a horrible job handling Goemon's character. He was basically only there when they needed him to cut something. And the end of Oscar & Zenigata's part of the story felt like it could have been handled better. It feels so...incomplete. I also couldn't help feeling happy that this actually wasn't Fujiko's past.

Complaints aside I like how they handled the girl's story with the creepy owls and how the OP narration became more clear as the story progressed. I also really liked the art style and there still were some really good episodes, mostly the intros and #10.

Oh and please don't take my complaints as a disappointed long-time Lupin fan or something. It is true that the biggest appeal of the Lupin franchise for me is seeing the group together, having fun while stealing stuff, but after a few episodes I didn't even expect to see them get together. Overall I just feel like this was handled poorly in some areas and I'm bothered by it. Simple~~

Can't say I liked it as much as I wanted to like it. The ending seemed like a big "It was nothing all along", Fujiko had always been Fujiko, doing things her way, and the past we discover halfway through, which was looking to be some big character devellopment, turns out to belong to a character you simply can't care about because it appears for 5 minutes in the last episode.

You know, for a series that tries to tell the story of Mine Fujiko, this really didn't bring anything new about her to the table. I guess it was nice seeing the characters interactions before being a group, but that's that.

The song that played through the last scene was great though, as was the last ED.

Best part about the episode was Fujiko dancing around and generally mocking the dying girl. Nice use of dark humor there. Other than that, it felt kind of like a waste as none of the developments were actually for Fujiko herself. Perhaps that's a good thing.

I thought the ending was pretty good. i liked the series :)

8/10

I actually liked the fact, or rather didn't mind, that none of it happened to Fujiko, and that it was all just an elaborate detour from one of her usual heists. The lack of main character development didn't affect me too much as I never expected any from the name. While development was a pleasant surprise before the revelation, I don't feel it was wasted simply because it wasn't Fujiko who experienced it. As a spin-off, it was a decent show. What I didn't like was the format of most of the earlier episodes, that is only one person in the group taking the stage with Fujiko at a time. I felt it lacked the chemistry and charm of usual Lupin, and perhaps that development could have benefited the characters after all. The writing in some of those episodes weren't commendable either. Still, there were some good ones, and it was an enjoyable and unique experience.

I have nothing bad to say about this episode. I had nothing bad to say about any part of this series.
Just perfect.
Perfect art.
Perfect voices.
Perfect music.
Perfect story.
Simply perfect.

I think Oscar was left out after he jumped off the truck that set fire to the main building Aisha and her mother were in. Similarly, they left Zenigata's end whereabouts to the imagination as well.

Overall a very good series.

Every other Lupin III TV series had a movie too.

I guess a movie depends of how well the series sells.

A movie could tie-up a few loose ends

- fate of Oscar
- Zenigata's transformation into a Lupin obsessed, slightly crazed individual
- Lupin vs Goemon; who will bang Fujiko first?
- official first heist with Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko and Goemon
(was Episode 0: First Contact just a story? Guess it doesn't matter since it seems this series is a different continuity so their first team job should be established anyways)

Well the series was pretty bad compared to all the other series. I am glad that wasnt Fujiko's real past. That is what Fujiko unique you dont know nothing about her past.

There is no need for a movie. This whole series should had been one movie.

Finally at the end thats the Fujiko and Lupin i know. Lupin only likes Fujiko to relieve his boredom.

I really hate how the ruined Jigen and Lupin 1st meeting. Even in the series Lupin III part 1. Jigen and Goemon both tried to kill Lupin and he turned them against each other. LOL

Keep in mind i saw all Lupin series, OVAS, and movies i just never tried the live action

I give this series a 5/10. Im just taking this story as a bad spin off.

I can understand why it wasnt about stealing. Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko stole just about everything in all the 215 plus episodes and 20 movies/ovas. LOL

I hope we get a new Lupin series that is about Lupin. Zenigata can catch Lupin if he want he is just Lupin polar opposite.

Oh yeah I hope that ****** Oscar is dead.( i bet you punks will still try to report this) LMFAO

9/10

I watched older series Lupin as a kid and liked it, but I don't remember them well. This series was a restart of my imaginary of Lupin The Third's characters. And I liked it very much, even if I think it has some episodes that don't shine too much.
The ending was a bit chaotic, I expected something different but it's not bad for me.

The art and animations were eccellent.

8.5/10, rounded 8/10 because the ending of Oscar disappointed me. I wanted something clear (arrested or killed).
