Fujiko has nothing to hide.

Yamamoto was bad at writing Fujiko. She didn't really seem to understand the character. Her series wasn't very well received among the fanbase. I'm happy they switched to Takahashi. |

Mari Okada was the headwriter for The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, not Yamamoto. (Yamamoto was the director) |

^And Mari Okada has always been hit or miss, pretty much up there with Yasuko Kobayashi for the tokusatsu fans.

Sayo Yamamoto and Mari Okada's Fujiko Mine anime is my single favorite Lupin thing of all time, so I'm sad that they are both probably too busy to tackle this. And I do think it was strong because of the combination of their talents: there are specific themes in TWCFM that you can find in both Yamamoto and Okada's other stuff, but it's the mix of all them in that show that makes it so special. Yamamoto is a fantastic and auteur-esque director, but she's also good at choosing strong writers who play well with her tastes.

I'm happy they switched to Takahashi.[/quote The way Fujiko has been written has varied from project to project for decades, as has the tone of the series. I'm not sure how I feel about this announcement. I adore The Woman Called Fujiko Mine but I thought the Koike episodes were some of the weakest of the series. |

The final twist/ending of The Woman Called Fujiko was controversial, because many thought it was a lot of build up for a cop-out. I can see where they're coming from, but I personally found it justified based on the context of the twist and the character of Fujiko.
Even though it took me a few watches to like him, I sort of wish Oscar would return for this. |

Really? I thought it was the opposite of a cop-out. I was frustrated at how Fujiko was getting more and more sidelined in her own show and the ending twist made everything suddenly make sense. Yamamoto's ending was a powerful statement about how women's stories are co-opted and controlled by patriarchal systems. It was incredible. |

Agreed. Yamamoto is good at last-second "twists" that feel like a cop-out... until you rewatch the series from the beginning and realize they were always building to that.
