Lupin III : The Castle of Cagliostro
"A Robin Hood with Miyazaki's style" -bezoe
After a successful robbery leaves famed theif Lupin III and his partner Jigen with nothing but a large amount of fake money, the so called "Goat Bills", he decides to track down the counterfeiter responsible - and steal any other treasures he may find in the Castle of Cagliostro, including the 'damsel in distress' he finds imprisoned there. However, as usual, Inspector Zenigata is hot on his trail.
Tracking the legendary counterfeits known as "Goat Bills," international thief Arsene Lupin III arrives at the Duchy of Cagliostro. Once there, he nearly rescues a damsel in distress from the Regent's guards. Following his failure, Lupin takes it upon himself to save her from captivity.
Its very hard to describe how good this anime is. Because its perfect in every aspect in my opinion. Hayao Miyazaki did a very great job in bringing this anime into a masterpiece.
Story line was superb and funny, the animation, expression, comedy, characters, all are top notch. Small reminder this anime was released in 1979.
Even though the animation feels a bit choppy on some area but its still a very high quality. The comedy was very Ghibli style... wait did I say Ghibli? I mean Miyazaki's style (cause this movie was pre-Ghibli era).
Character design were simple but yet very appealing to watch, girls are cute but not sexy (as always in most Miyazaki's movie).
Bottomline... watch this movie, no matter what genre you like! This is a must have movie! Even though its almost 30 years old, but its still superb!
Overall Rating: A
