Both have a similar art style and center around a mysterious and beautiful woman enslaved by her own desires.

I’ll be damned if the production team of The Woman Called Fujiko Mine weren’t inspired by this film as part of their inspiration not only due to the fact that both are more on the erotic and sensual side of ecchi (as opposed to bouncy boobs for shits and giggles) as well as aesthetics. As I was watching Belladonna, I kept thinking how this movie kept giving me major WCFM vibes in its artwork and overall themes.

Both shows are built around a strong willed, independent, complex, sexy and sex-positive female criminal as protagonist. They both are styled in late 60s / early 70s stylish and somewhat abstract art-house designs and have jazz influenced OSTs. Obviously Belladonna is from that time period, while Mine Fujiki clearly pays an homage to both the time period and Belladonna in particular. For both protagonists, female eroticism and sensuality are driving character traits. Both have a tragic backstory of abuse by male figures of authority.
