''[[Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine]]'' 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 as part of a celebration to the 40th anniversary of the completion of the first ''Lupin III'' manga. The first new ''Lupin III'' TV anime in 27 years, and the first ever in which Lupin is not the protagonist, the series focuses on the franchise's trickster, Fujiko Mine, as she undergoes various missions and encounters other characters in the Lupin universe. The opening theme is "New Wuthering Heights" by Naruyoshi Kikuchi and Pepe Tormento Azcarar feat. Ichiko Hashimoto, whilst the ending theme is "Duty Friend" by NIKIIE. In addition, music direction is being handled by legendary anime director [[Shinichiro Watanabe]].
 
Sayo Yamamoto is the director of the series, making it the first Lupin title to be directed by a female. Unlike the previous anime adaptations of ''Lupin III'', ''The Woman Called Fujiko Mine'' is much closer to Monkey Punch's original creation in art style, tone, and in the portrayal of Arsène Lupin III, and the "Green Jacket" series. It is darker, more serious and sexually oriented, and is the first series in which Lupin is not the main protagonist. As critic Vrai Kaiser eloquently put it, "The Woman Called Fujiko Mine is both the most nudity-heavy and one of the most thoughtfully feminist anime I have ever seen."<ref>Review: [https://vraikaiser.com/tag/the-woman-called-fujiko-mine/ Sex is Not a Dirty Word: or, Why The Woman Called Fujiko Mine is a Great Feminist Anime]</ref>
