While most of the distributors have gotten better over the last couple of years in providing notice of impending rights expirations, there are times when it does not happen, or at least not clearly. It looks like the rights have expired for Lupin III – The Woman Called Fujiko Mine as the series was pulled last week from Crunchyroll for streaming for both free and premium users, as discovered by ChibiGoku, and Funimation has removed the dubbed episodes from streaming and the series page as well as their YouTube trailers and clips for it. If the expiration is final and not temporary, then the units out in the retail market are all there are – and we definitely recommend grabbing this stylishly done fun series.
Check out our review of the series.
Plot Concept: She’s a thief. A killer. A saint and a scandal. She’s whatever you need her to be to get the job done. After sizing you up with one sinful glance, she disarms you with a touch. You’re powerless to resist. She’s walking seduction, with an insatiable itch for the priceless and a fetish for mischief. She takes your breath away to get what she wants. She takes everything else just because she can. It’s all in a night’s work for the woman called Fujiko Mine. She’s the slinky, sultry thread that holds Lupin III’s crew together – and this is the heist that started it all.
