Lupin The Third Part III is an anime television series that aired from March 1984 to November 1985. This series revolved around the adventures of Arsène Lupin III, the grandson of the famous gentleman thief Arsène Lupin. He is accompanied by his longtime friends Jigen Daisuke, an expert marksman, and Goemon Ishikawa XIII, a master swordsman.

The show follows the trio as they travel the world, stealing valuable objects and outwitting the authorities who are constantly on their trail. One of the key features of the show is its emphasis on Lupin's romantic interests, which is a unique addition to the anime genre.

The show also introduces a new character, Fujiko Mine, a beautiful and cunning thief who often partners with Lupin, but is always looking out for her own interests. Another recurring character is Inspector Zenigata, who is always trying to catch Lupin and his gang but never seems to succeed.

The animation and artwork of Lupin The Third Part III are impressive for its time. The characters are well-drawn and the backgrounds are richly detailed, showcasing different locations across the world. The show's music, composed by Yūji Ōno, is also noteworthy, with a jazz music soundtrack that perfectly fits the series' tone and overall style.

The show is notably different from previous iterations of Lupin The Third. While previous shows were criticized for their violent content and adult themes, Part III aimed for a more family-friendly portrayal by toning down the violence and focusing more on comedy and lightheartedness. Still, there are moments of action and suspense that keep the audience engaged, showing the skillful balance of writing that the creators were able to achieve.

The voice acting in the show is another aspect that stands out. Yasuo Yamada, who plays Lupin, gives an engaging performance that captures the character's charm and wit. Goro Naya, who voices Inspector Zenigata, also brings a level of intensity that perfectly complements Lupin's laid-back attitude.

The show's episodes consist of stand-alone stories, each one showcasing the gang's talents for thieving or trying to get away from the authorities. Many of these stories involve Lupin trying to steal something valuable, often encountering unexpected obstacles and adversaries along the way. The result is a series that is entertaining and unpredictable, with each episode offering a new adventure for the gang.

Overall, Lupin The Third Part III is a classic anime that stands the test of time. Its engaging storytelling, memorable characters, and impressive animation continue to captivate audiences today. Whether you are a fan of action, comedy, or romance, there is something in this show that will appeal to you.
