+
+(aside: it's pronounced "Mee-neh", not "mine")
+
+It took twenty-seven years, but we finally have a new Lupin
+series. Only, this time he's just a co-star: the spotlight is firmly
+on his lover / accomplice / adversary, Fujiko, showing even more
+agency and determination than usual. And that's no small feat.
+
+For those of you who did not grow up watching anime in the Eighties, a
+small history lesson is probably in order. Arsène Lupin III was
+created by mangaka Monkey Punch (KATOU Kazuhiko, 加藤 一彦) in 1967,
+as the grandson of the original gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin, written
+at the beginning of the 20th century by Maurice Leblanc. His
+adventures have been serialised in manga (nearly 70 volumes) and anime
+ever since, with a mostly fixed cast of characters: in addition to the
+titular thief, we have Jigen, Goemon, Fujiko, and Inspector Zenigata.
+
+Lupin the Third is much less of a gentleman than his literary
+grandfather, always romancing all the women he gets close to (with
+rather limited success, though), but sharing the tendency to do what's
+right even when it's going to cost him the loot. Jigen Daisuke is a
+great marksman, the quickest and deadliest shooter with any
+firearm. Ishikawa Goemon is a master swordsman, affecting the look and
+behaviour of an ascetic samurai; his sword can cut through anything
+with supernatural speed and precision. Mine Fuijko is a beautiful
+woman who uses her assets to lure and manipulate others to do her
+bidding, and she's often in competition with Lupin and the
+others. Zenigata Koichi is a police officer who's made it his life
+mission to capture Lupin, developing a friend / enemy relationship
+with him through the years (just as Lupin is the grandson of a
+fictional thief, so Zenigata is the grandson of the great fictional
+Japanese detective Zenigata Heiji).
+
+Since their first appearance on TV in 1971, they have starred in four
+series ('71-'72, '77-'80, '84-'85, and this one from 2012), seven
+movies (the most famous one, at least outside of Japan, is surely
+Castle of Cagliostro, directed by Miyazaki Hayao in 1979), three OVAs,
+and 24 yearly TV specials since 1989. They are often faced with
+insurmountable odds against apparently supernatural enemies, but they
+always get away thanks to their talents and a large helping of luck.
+
+With this much material already published, you'd think there would be
+very little new to say about these characters, but this new series
+proves that they can still surprise us.
+
+This series is a first in many ways: not only it's a Lupin story where
+Lupin is not the main character, it's also set before the '71 series,
+and it's written and directed by women. Director YAMAMOTO Sayo (山本沙
+代, Michiko and Hatchin, Redline) and writer Okada Mari (岡田 麿里,
+Black Butler, Toradora, Vampire Knight, `Fractale <../fractale/>`_)
+explore the character of Fujiko and her first meeting with each other
+member of the regular cast, showing us that she is her own woman and
+in control of her own story, even when up against crafty manipulators
+and international intrigue. And when she occasionally needs rescuing,
+she's quick to repay her debts and set out on her way, as free as she
+needs to be. Sure, she's often naked and she uses her sensuality to
+get what she wants, but it's always on her terms, and in the end
+no-one can shackle her for long.
+
+Another very interesting character in this story is Oscar, a policeman
+helping Zenigata chase Fujiko and Lupin. I'm still not sure if Oscar
+is a gay man or a trans woman in denial, but what is clear from the
+start is that they're in love with Zenigata, and the contrast between
+Oscar's and Fujiko's way of dealing with desire and relationships is
+probably the one aspect most worthy of attention and analysis in the
+whole series.
+
+In conclusion, this long-awaited fourth series gives us a new look at
+beloved characters, and reflections on sex, power, agency, and
+gender. It also works as an introduction to Lupin's world for a new
+generation. I recommend it heartily to everyone.
