One of my all-time favorites. I personally recall it with the unusual Japanese dialogue, but the english dub included on this DVD isn’t unpleasant. Though I must say the English dub directed by Carl Maceck was better, if less literal. (Quick dodges all the Robotech-haters out there…) (Carl Maceck’s translation is NOT included on this DVD)
Lupin III is a master thief. With his cohorts Jigen and Goemon and the unwitting abet from his ex-girlfriend Fujiko as well as Lupin’s self-proclaimed nemesis, Inspector Zenigata, they free a beutiful Princess from her contaminated captor who is intent on marrying the young princess to purchase the family fortune.
Like all of Miyazaki’s other works, this film has stunning animation that compliments a very intricate and heartful chronicle.
Fans of the novel Lupin III laughable by Monkey Punch may not delight in it as great since the characters act a shrimp ‘nicer’ than the fans may recall, but Miyazaki’s talent lies in weaving a righteous account together with graceful animation, and it is clearly evidenced here.

This film stands not unprejudiced as a proper example of whats excellent about Japanese animation, but as a satisfactory movie in general… Moving characters, clever dwelling twists, fabulous action, and a noble dose of heart. I composed stand surprised that some hollywood shmuck hasn’t bought the rights to it and mangled it into the lame “blockbuster” live-action formula that America is currently plagued with. But I digress…
I can reflect of no better introduction to anime than Hayao Miyazaki. Castle of Cagliostro is definitely one of his better works, and you will net yourself amazed at how ‘real’ this hand-drawn animation feels compared to the generic pocket-monster-giant-robot-half-naked-girls-with-guns-otaku-fanboy-teenager-boobshow stuff… in fact I’d say that’s the only thing this film is missing. 
… again, I digress…
This work is a chop above and deserves a higher respect, as it’s done by a man who clearly has more respect for the art.

Be warned: while the anamorphic video quality of this release is superior, and it has some spacious extras, Manga Video replaced the stunning, dream-like opening titles titillating sequence with a series of quiet frames with English credits superimposed over them. This is a awful liberty taken with one of the greatest inviting movies of all time.
