      Hi, At 3:28 a guy says that "the first shot of Cagliostro is for a lot of people also the first introduction to the characters, period" That's incorrct information: the red jacket series is from 1977 and the movie is from 1979, Lupin was already immensely popular when they decided to make a movie about him (if he wasn't they wouldn't even have made that movie).
      Now, if he was talking about the west and not Japan he is also wrong, because despite Lupin coming later in the west, the movie Cagliostro never passed on TV, so most people know Lupin because of the TV shows, not the movie.
      P. S. I like your videos best compared to many other animation yputubers, but please can you do a little more effort in researching how to pronounce Japanese names correctly? otsUka it's painful to hear, it should be Otsuka or even OtsukA, the middle of a word is never emphasised in Japanese. To not go wrong just put the emphasis always at the start.
      Of course there's also the "u" problem (it shouldn't be pronounced) but I'm not asking for perfection ;)
      , however, I think you understand how putting the emphasis on a letter that shouldn't even be there is a problem.

    Probably my favorite bit of animation in the entire movie is Lupin kicking the hood of the car down and jumping into the driver's seat. Something about it being almost one fluid motion combined with how quick and snappy it is and the grin on Lupin's face as he does it--it really gets your blood pumping even before the chase scene truly starts. This whole movie is full of great little moments like that, and that's part of why I love it. :D

    Like many others, this was my first introduction to Miyazaki. A friend of mine from work wanted me to check it out, so he loaned me a VHS tape of it. It was the Streamline Pictures dub with big spaces of black omitting all of the Japanese credits during the titles scenes, which looked strange at the time (until I saw the original version).
    This was back in the late 90’s (I’m 55 now) when a lot of Anime and Anime merchandise was starting to make it’s way to the USA for the first time via places like Suncoast Movie Company in our local mall.
    This film got me into Miyazaki, and I’ve been a fan since. I’ll never forget the first time seeing the Fiat scale the cliff through sheer velocity and forward momentum. It almost looks like it could work, while at the same time looking absolutely impossible. What a chase sequence.

    19:00 I would have to say that this is the only time Fujiko was not just a “bad ass”, but an actual character (and nowhere near the manipulative floozy with breasts of extraordinary magnitude).
    Akin to Ripley or Sarah Conner, the key to a strong female character is simply having a strong character that happens to be female.
    23:10 I like both the Streamline and Manga dubs. They both have their own “flavor” to add (compare the 2 dubs to when the butler is reading Lupin’s message to the Count).

I cant say I think there are any hard rules for writing any of those types of characters , both Ripley and Sarah don't start that way

In a way, they're like a knight and a wizard.

    Watched this film on Film4 one evening about 10 years ago or so. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve watched it since then. 50 maybe? Could be 100, it wouldn’t surprise me. It’s my #1 favourite film, the one I turn to whenever I need a pick-me-up or to while away a rainy afternoon. I wouldn’t say it’s Miyazaki’s best film, but it is my personal favourite of his filmography. I love the world: Cagliostro feels like a real place, a country that’s existed long before the film begins. It helps that I think Alpine Europe is one of the most picturesque places on Planet Earth so I’m down for any film that takes place there.
    Despite my love of it, I will say that having watched more of the Lupin films, TV shows and TV specials, it does bother me just a little that Miyazaki sanded down some of Lupin’s rougher edges - he isn’t as cheeky and mischievous here as in other entries, after all he’s pretty much Japan’s answer to James Bond. But then Bond’s personality is pretty malleable so it makes sense for Lupin’s to be too - I do like the variety of interpretations of the character, it’s part of what makes the series fun to watch for me. Cagliostro does feel like it’s depicting an older, more mature Lupin, which does make for a nice counterpoint to other Lupin stories, though it’s rather undermined by the ending where Lupin and the gang race off for another job in a “That’s Our Lupin!” way.
    So yes, my favourite Lupin film, but not my favourite depiction of Lupin, if that makes any sense.
    I will say that Tony Oliver will always be my favourite English dub Lupin voice - he gets the right mix of silly and serious. Hayter doesn’t quite have that silliness, which works for the Lupin in Cagliostro, but I don’t think it’d work for any other Lupin story. He’s better than Bob Bergen in the Streamline dub though, but Bergen does a pretty good job. It’s just a shame that the Streamline dub seems to be the go-to dub these days: it’s the one on Netflix and the one StudioCanal uses on their DVD and Blu-Ray. I only have the Manga dub because I bought the Manga DVD release when I saw it in a CeX shop, despite already owning the Optimum/StudioCanal DVD. Yes, I own two different copies of this film - that’s how much I love it.

      @@Stevem Yeah, it was part of a Studio Ghibli season. It’s not a Ghibli film, but I guess they treated it as an honorary Ghibli on account of the Miyazaki connection.
      Sonny Strait does a good job too in any of the Funimation dubbed Lupin films/TV shows/TV specials, his voice fits the role well. Only problem with Funimation is that they pronounce his name “Loo-Pin” as opposed to “Loo-Pahn” but it’s a very minor niggle. And hey, it’s better than the Streamline dubs where they had to call him “Wolf” for legal reasons. I like Bob Bergen, but the problem is whenever I hear his voice I think of Luke Skywalker, as he was the go-to guy to voice him when Mark Hamill was busy or too expensive (like Jim Hanks and Woody).
      But yes, it does bother me how poor the Lupin releases are in the UK. Not so much that what we get is bad, but just how little there is of it. Discotek are doing a great job in the US with Lupin (including a release of Mamo with all 4 English dubs), and what they haven’t done Funimation probably already did, but over here? Two films, two TV shows and a couple of the specials. Why can’t we get a nice Blu-Ray release of Mamo or the Legend of the Gold of Babylon? Thankfully, some kind Americans have put a lot of it up on CZcams - the downside is that TMS then takes it down again. Bah! Either way, the release of The First can’t come soon enough! Hopefully it’ll go into cinemas first.

I may try emailing u again like I used to, though I know its a long shot haha. I'm psyched about chatting about these great works again. I remember being lucky enough to see the classic Lupin III show for a good while on tv when i was 12, loved it, didn't understand it so much at that age but I subconsciously knew it was good on allot of levels. I could also sense the artistic liberation. Now with this film though i haven't seen it, (crazy right, i'll change that soon) i can tell that spirit isn't lost. Another thing that's grabbing me is the happy confusion i get, like how the happenings are cartoony yet don't lose that edge, and grit ya know? Like there's is the feeling of a serious deadly consequence if things go wrong. The soundtrack does the same thing in my opinion which is awesome. Those backgrounds clearly give me an instant classic Miyazaki vibe, and having Yasuo Otsuka on board, ah, you can't go wrong the late great Yasuo, just a dedicated, passionate, studious, craftsman of glorious living lines. But all this, and so much more, in just seven months? That's insane! This was another great video essay dude, Kudos to you and you're guest narrator Shaybs. :-)

      @@Stevem It's funny that Miyazaki almost totally rejected Alexander Key's original book and I quote, "I don't like it". Like, latter half of the whole anime's story was newly added by Miyazaki.
      But yeah, the problem is, its idea or framework are based on the book...
      Speaking of which, Hayao Miyazaki's "problem" is that his methodology is applied not only to past masterpieces, but also to works whose authors are still active and not necessarily famous, and furthermore, that his methodology produces works that are more interesting (in a sense, more than the original works).
      But no matter how critical you are, it is also true that without the original work, the story would not exist.
      So, for those authors whose works were adapted by Hayao Miyazaki, the success has created a complicated situation in which they have simultaneously benefited and been humiliated. Monkey Punch famously expressed his discomfort with Hayao Miyazaki's Lupin, saying, "That's not my Lupin," and I suspect that other authors  like Kiki's Delivery Service's writer had similar struggles.
      Lupin in "Cagliostro" is a kind-hearted and righteous man, different from Monkey Punch's image of Lupin who is also a ruthless criminal. So Monkey Punch rejected the idea of Miyazaki's version of Lupin spreading, but he was also aware of the reality that "Cagliostro" prolonged the life of Lupin's content.
      "Lupin III: DEAD OR ALIVE," a feature-length animated film directed by Monkey Punch himself, was a work with a strong awareness of Cagliostro, a film that he supposedly hated. It even looks like a retelling of Cagliostro. It is interesting to see Monkey Punch's mixed feelings about Miyazaki's version of Lupin.
