Hello, this is my next archival text. I tried to search the internet where you can see this anime, but I found nothing. Funimation's copyright has expired and there is no official access anywhere. Google says it's available on Netflix, but it doesn't work in Poland.
On average, once a year or at least once every 3 years, I come across anime that totally intimidates me and slightly modifies my perception of outstanding anime. In the case of "Lupine the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu" I knew from the first minutes that I was dealing with an unusual cartoon. A mature approach to nudity and eroticism, serious treatment of the viewer, a stylized and beautiful line, a unique atmosphere ... And these are only the most striking advantages. I have never been a fan of "Lupin", but I have known this brand since childhood and from the time before broadband internet appeared in Poland. A few months ago my friend Karol finally managed to force me to a screening and I am extremely grateful for that.
The story revolves around a mysterious, feminine femme fatale known as Mine Fujiko. Nobody knows anything about her, he is a completely non-existent man for the system. For someone who allegedly does not exist, the mysterious woman is a great thief, sensual temptress, and is guided mainly by her interests. At the same time, it does not let emotions take over the mind and is almost unscrupulous. This does not mean that she is heartless - she will not hurt, for example, innocent bystanders and their safety is her highest priority. There is no need to mention physical values because my workshop is too weak to give it captivating beauty. Mine Fujiko even distances the vast majority of my favorite M&A heroines. Not only in terms of appearance but above all a rich and original personality. Her voice actress maintains an equally high level. He reliably uses his voice in various roles, and he has enough, as befits a great thief. During flirting or other "ways of showing affection" she is just perfect and I can't imagine another seiyuu in her role. Love acts with her are just a feast for the eye and ear, Mine knows how to influence the male senses, knows when she must pretend to be a clumsy girl, and when to take matters into her own hands, or where to touch a woman or a man to arouse desire in them. The drawings of the nudes are very suggestive, the animation is exemplary, and the whole is complemented by a wonderful female voice. So far, I have valued Mawaru Penguindrum the most when it comes to this type of scene, but during the viewing I changed my mind. This is not the level. There were not enough of these scenes and had a more symbolic dimension.
You can associate the rest of the heroes with various memes or conversions to YT. In addition to Lupine, which has the most air time, they play the role of colorful and characteristic side characters, additions to the main course which is the title heroine. I didn't like Inspector Zenigata and Goemon very much. Admittedly, they had several eye-catching (Goemon's action with a plane is pure gold!) Or "adult" scenes are not among my favorite characters, especially samurai. It is different with Jigen Daisuke, I love this guy. Not only does he have a great design (simple and memorable), but he also uses his weapon effectively, which can be seen in several really eye-catching actions.
As for Lupin, I have mixed feelings for him. I associate involuntarily with the characters from the fairy tales of my childhood ... And those with whom I never liked (goofy, always coming out of all oppressions), as well as most often we have scenes with him - a bunch of thugs fires rifle magazines, and no missile misses the target or permanent plot-shield for everything. Initially, I thought it was supposed to be such a reference to old anime, but Karol pulled me out of this misconception - such his French blood knows he can afford a tear because he is absolutely sure of his skills. It did not bother me particularly much, although at times I felt a slight cognitive dissonance and I would probably complain if the rest were not so perfect. On the other hand, Lupine is not the "polite fool" we can associate with various memes. He does not hesitate to touch Mine Fujiko in intimate places, acting in accordance with the principle "professionals do not mind such things in the game at a high stake."
Continuing the second paragraph, the creators made a first-class product. They presented various erotic motifs with exceptional artistry and taste. Scenes are often bold, and skillful directing and building the mood by means of sound and image only emphasize their atmosphere. In one sentence - if you are looking for a good, animated erotic, then the anime about Mine Fujiko is a good choice. The stylized line perfectly complements jazz songs, creating a cool atmosphere of bygone times. I don't think I paused so often with any anime, just to make a print-screen from a beautifully drawn frame. To sum up in one sentence - it's one of the best anime I've ever seen. I highly recommend it to anyone, it's one of the best fairy tales I've seen. I give 10/10 and I hope you like it the same.
