Welcome to LupintheThird.com! Hello everyone! Welcome to LupintheThird.com, an unofficial page where we celebrate the many adventures of Lupin the Third, a long-running multimedia franchise born over 40 years ago in August of 1967. This site is still in a "rebuilding" state, so if you're in a hurry to have your burning Lupin question answered, you might check out the Lupin the Third Forums, look up the related title on Lupin III Encyclopedia, or just message us on Twitter @Lupinthe3rdcom. If you're a new fan and just want to know what's out there and what's good (or at least, what I think is good), maybe check out the two-part article I wrote for Anime News Network this year. If you miss the old site, we are gradually re-adding and improving not only that content, but new items as well. Thank you for your patience in the meantime. Funimation's The Woman Called Fujiko Mine TV series page (may be NSFW).
