怪盗绅士鲁邦一族的第三代继承人鲁邦三世，拥有智商300的天才头脑，精通艺术性的盗窃技巧。他与嗜好烟酒的枪手次元大介、他为之钟情的神秘女盗峰不二子、精通居合斩的第十三代石川五卫门以及常因为眨眼工夫就被鲁邦逃脱而苦恼的钱形警部，共同上演了一部怪盗喜剧。相对于当时风行的热血少年题材作品，该作成人氛围浓厚的情节更容易得到各年龄层观众的喜爱。极具亲和力的人物设定，在此后的续作中基本没有做过改动。m.ysgou.cc该作播映之初反响平平，但后来却人气高涨，被评价为“早期日本动画中的杰作”。继该作之后，又有2部TV版续作、6部剧场版作品以及每年1部的TV特别篇推出，鲁邦三世因此而被誉为日本动画中一个“不死的角色”。
