This is my first review so I'll try my best for you guys. This is me editing my incomplete review after I have finished this AMAZING series. So like I said before Lupin the Third was a childhood favorite and something I have always loved. The high expectations I had for this anime were completely met 10 fold. I expected nothing less from a Lupin anime series. This series is way more serious than anything I've ever seen from any Lupin series or movie. It has funny moments but it doesn't focus on comedy as much as the original series did. I enjoyed that about ... this series. The fact that it was way more serious made me love it even more. I actually prefer the seriousness of the comedy version.

Story (9/10) - I think the story is very good especially near the end where everything is fully explained. I loved the depth they were giving to Fujiko throughout the series so it didn't seem like she was just Fujiko Mine the thief. The story revolved around her and it also did a great job of making everyone else matter even though the main focus of the story was her. The last 2 episodes were absolutely amazing. I loved that the show wasn't just about her or them stealing and that it actually had a full on story line to it. Again the story was great especially for an anime that doesn't really need one. But they gave it one and it was amazing. The execution of how it was told was also great and there's certain parts that had me flipping out.

Art (10/10) - I personally loved the art in this series. It was weird to me at first and I liked it at the same time. The style is so unique and you can tell it was made to look like that so it could give you the feel that you were watching an older series. That's how I felt about it anyway. A newer series that had a very old look and feel. I loved it. Everything was simply beautiful. The opening sequence was one of the sequences I listened to every time not only because of Fujiko's amazing intro but the art was just amazing.

Sound (10/10) - The music for the series was simply amazing. The song "Duty Friend" had me at the edge of my seat every episode because I loved that song so much I couldn't wait to hear it after an amazing episode just ended. Again the opening sequence was amazing also. Now the sound of the anime itself was also great the music they played at certain parts really fit well and made the scenes more enjoyable. The voice acting is amazing also in my opinion I think they were all great. Especially Fujiko, Lupin, & Jigen. The overall sound to me was flawless.

Character (10/10) - I said this during my first review that I grew up with these characters and I was already in love with and this show actually made me realize that I love them even more than I thought I did. They are just great characters. These characters who are usually in a comedy anime are thrown into this serious anime and it still worked and amazing. In my opinion again the seriousness is more enjoyable. Lupin is still his wacky self and I still loved him. Fujiko's character really impressed me on this show. I loved her on the original but my god they made me love her more throughout this series. They gave such depth to her character. Again the characters are amazing.

Enjoyment (10/10) - I loved this series so much. I couldn't wait until the next episode because of how much I loved watching this series. It was really great. I must say this show will be way more enjoyable if you have seen the original series and you already love it. If you don't already love the series you still think this is a good or even great anime. I still think anyone planning to watch this anime should watch the first series first. Lupin will always be one of my favorite series.

Overall (10/10)
