Rupan sansei: Kariosutoro no shiro aka Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro (1979) (8/10)

This is an excellent animation film for anyone who likes good frames, good music and may be good action. Characters are built far better than real life movies even though only a basic set of actions are used for the caharacters. The damsel in distress is how it begins, but does not proceed like a typical story, not does it end like one. There are a few exaggerations, but they add to the wonderfulness rather than subtract from it. The inspector Zenigata-Lupin rivalry would rival that of Anandrao and Zunjaar. The way Zenigata leads to the bills is classic. The mystery and its unravelling as well as what it unravels is beautifully done. An adventure you should not miss.
