Lupin III: Castle Of Cagliostro
Alt titles: Castle Of Cagliostro
Synopsis:
After robbing a casino and finding out the entire take was counterfeit, Lupin and Jigen are off to the duchy of Cagliostro to find the source of this trickery, and to stop it. Upon arrival, the two become entangled in a car chase between a woman in a wedding dress and several men in a black car. Before she is kidnapped, this woman passes off a ring to Lupin, a ring that sparks his interest more than counterfeit money ever could. Unfortunately for Lupin it also grabs the attention of those who want the ring back, and would kill him for it in a heartbeat.

Urusei Yatsura Movie 2: Beautiful Dreamer
- Movie
- 1984
The students of Tomobiki are working long hours and preparing feverishly for tomorrow, when the student fair finally will begin. It has been a long, difficult job, and everyone is relieved, knowing it will soon be done – but there’s a catch. They soon discover that days, possibly weeks have passed, yet they never reach tomorrow, and the student fair still has not begun. As they desperately try to discover what is happening to their world, their beliefs on reality and the world of dreams are radically challenged. Is the gang doomed to repeat the same day for the rest of their lives?

add recBoth 'Castle of Cagliostro' and 'Beautiful Dreamer' are films based on a popular TV/manga franchise by directors who subsequently became famous in their own rights - Hayao Miyazaki and Mamoru Oshii, respectively. Each film has that director push the franchise in a direction similar to his later pictures - 'Castle of Cagliostro' downplays Lupin's lothario nature and gives us a typically Miyazaki heroine, while 'Beautiful Dreamer' sidesteps Urusei Yatsura's comedy to give us a brooding, philosophical work that is very Oshii in feel. If you enjoyed one for being an early work of promise for an anime director, you may also enjoy the other.

add recLupin the 3rd is a pleasure to watch: his heists and antics are gripping, his self-extrication from the tightest situations a joy to follow. So if you like witty humour and an adventure-packed setting, why not try Coyote Ragtime Show? The Show is like a Lupin film extended over 12 episodes, filled with heists, chases, and double-crossing characters. It's set in a sci-fi future, has more epic set-pieces, and has equally engaging characters. If Lupin has stolen your heart, Mister and his Coyotes will too.
