Lupin and his gang are legendary thieves on the run after a big bank job but runs across a runaway princess who asks for help
to keep from marrying a human monster named Count Cagliostro. The thought of legendary treasure only sweatens the deal and
they learn that Cagliostro has more then his share of skeletons in the closet, and in the basement, and the attic and various
other places as well.
ZEDD'S OPINION:
Some of you might have been first exposed to Lupin when they converted this story into a laser disc game in the early eighties
and renamed it Cliffhangers like I was but it's more then just a great game. Lupin is a great character with lots of action
and laughs. An excellent anime movie worth watching even if you aren't too keen on anime as a whole. 9 STARS.
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
I agree with Zedd again, There was this TV show that came way later that mispronounced Lupin but that's not this. This is
a great show and even though the animation isn't perfect, it's cool, 9 STARS as well.
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ CHARACTERS (Clever characters.)
+ STORY (The story works.)
+ ACTION (Plenty of action.)
+ LAUGH (Plenty of laughs.)
...AND FINALLY...
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- ANIMATION (The animation could have been better.)
