unlabelledView post →Sincerely I believe that The Castle of Cagliostro is a perfect movie. Pacing? Excellent. Animation? Excellent. Music? On point! Action scenes? Some of the best in any heist movie. I’ve never watched any other Lupin content either - it’s a terrific standalone story. ✨🐐 💍✨

unlabelledView post →I was lucky enough to see The Castle of Cagliostro in 4K at Scotland Loves Anime last week, and it was a blast! 💥 I haven't seen a Lupin "thing" for a little while now (likely since the live action Jigen film), so it was surreal to jump to experiencing this in a busy cinema setting. Lots of fun!
unlabelledView post →This scene from The Castle of Cagliostro—the big showpiece car chase had already happened, but this showed that me that this movie would be cool, original, and tonally unique through-and-through and would not let up
unlabelledView post →The Castle of Cagliostro is one of my favorite movies to escape to when shit's not great. It's a wonderfully animated film and I love everything about it. I have a soft spot for the dub with the additional cursing. I grew up with it so the other ones just sound off, like something's missing.

unlabelledView post →Saw Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro last night at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social. it was a superb midnight screening, wall to wall laughter, and even for his first feature film directorial outing Miyazaki had the juice. Destination Ghibli has been a blast.
unlabelledView post →Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro: on the opposite side of the coin as Mamo, Lupin as a romantic adventurer. Hayao Miyazaki does the unthinkable and depicts a sentimental Lupin at the end of an arc. Often meekly imitated and rehashed but never close to matched. A classic through and through.

'The opening chase sequence to The Castle of Cagliostro has reportedly been described by Steven Spielberg as the best car chase sequence in any film ever'.

unlabelledView post →If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing it yet, Hayao Miyazaki’s directorial debut ‘Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro’ is streaming on Tubi. It’s the older dub, so the translation’s a bit wonky, but still great. This film inspired an entire generations of animators, & is worth a watch.

Worse, it took me 10+ mins to take it out of the slipcover. At least I have a copy of the movie finally, and the disc itself is stellar. But holy fuck, I'm getting a refund.

unlabelledView post →TIL that some of the footage from the Laserdisc game "Cliffhanger" featuring the Lupin character was from "The Castle of Cagliostro" by none other than Hayao Miyazaki! So if you played that game in the arcade back in the 80s, you were playing a Miyazaki film!! Just amazing stuff.

unlabelledView post →The Japanese-Canadian Cultural Society held an anime film festival at the Royal Ontario Museum. At the time, anime was still obscure & hard to find, so I (and many others) had never seen The Castle of Cagliostro before. When that little Fiat roared up that mountain, the whole audience roared too.
