Lupin the Third: The Woman Named Fujiko Mine (LUPIN the Third -峰不二子という女-, Rupan Sansei Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna) is a 2012 anime series based on Monkey Punch's Lupin III franchise. Produced by TMS Entertainment and Po10tial, it began airing on NTV on April 4, 2012. The series focuses on the franchise's heroine, Fujiko Mine, as she undergoes various missions and encounters other characters in the Lupin universe. The opening theme is "New Wuthering Heights" (新・嵐が丘, Shin Arashi ga Oka) by Naruyoshi Kikuchi and Pepe Tormento Azcarar feat. Ichiko Hashimoto, whilst the ending theme is "Duty Friend" by NIKIIE.
Sayo Yamamoto is the director of the series, making it the first Lupin title to be directed by a woman.[1] It is darker, more serious and sexually oriented, and is the first series in which Lupin is not the main protagonist.
Funimation Entertainment simulcasted the series, with English subtitles, on their website and Nico Nico as it aired in Japan. It has been confirmed in October 2012 that the series will be dubbed in the United States by Funimation.[2] On July 28 at Otakon 2012, they announced that they also acquired the home video rights to the series.[3]
