Trivia
Zenigata's Lieutenant Oscar is a parody of Berusaiyu no bara (1979)'s female heroine Lady Oscar Francois de Jarjayes, who was a woman in military uniform; in the show Lt Oscar is a law officer with an effeminate look/behaviour. Coming full circle, Lupin had earlier parodied the show in Berusaiyu wa ai ni moeta (1979).

Quotes
[opening sequence]
Fujiko Mine: Now, stop everything you are doing, allow your heart to race, and look at me. Theft is not to take something away or break something. It is a special crime, an elegant vice; it is an amalgam of secrets, felonies, mischief and fear. Just like Wuthering Heights' Heathcliff, I'm defined by my all-consuming passion. Stealing is a sexy prison from which there is no escape. Its psychological foundation is... unknown. Who is the slave? Who is the master? Is God watching her, has God abandoned her? The act of theft allows her to forget everything, even the distant traces of memory. Don't speak, but run. Don't run, but hide. When you find me, punish me. When you punish me, kill me. Save me. But you have nothing left for me to steal, silly boy. You are an empty shell, just like me. So if you want to look at me, then stop everything you are doing. Stop everything and let only the sound of your beating heart remain, and look at me.

Lupin the third is a very skilled thief who is always chased by Inspector Zenigata.

This is an introduction to the classic Monkey Punch characters.Even if it is visually attractive and the narrative quite interesting, it is not the same as the original 70s cartoon. It certainly keeps some stuff from the original series, like the characters' behavior. Lupin is still full of himself and really clever at what he does. Fujiko rivals him, but counts on her beauty as an extra. Jigen is remarkable at shooting. Goemon is an old school samurai. I think the sickest character is Fujiko and Jigen the least mental. The main flaw is the characters' appearance. Even if they wear the same clothes as in the 70s, the drawings do not reflect their personality as well as the old ones.
