maybe absurd to say this about anything Miyazaki, but I think that one is underrated. I spent a while looking at gifs from it the other day, it's such a great classic cartoon

Cagliostro is of a piece with earlier Lupin III cartoons, if somewhat elevated

also the animation is crazy awesome

(in a ghibli movie? no way? lol)
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 27 April 2022 19:44 (two years ago) link
but i really do love the like... kineticism of the animation in cagliostro, which feels like it's allowed to be that way for longer stretches of time than the films that came out afterward (i could be INCREDIBLY wrong about this)
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 27 April 2022 19:46 (two years ago) link
The opening car chase in Cagliostro justifies cinema in itself.
― Piedie Gimbel, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 19:55 (two years ago) link
yes kineticism is exactly what I meant by "classic cartoon," there's so much good physical action in it
― rob, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 19:56 (two years ago) link
I haven't seen anything else Lupin, is there stuff as good as this in it?

that gif is the essence of lupin yes

I think some comparisons could be made between Cagliostro and the second Urusei Yatsura movie, Beautiful Dreamer; both examples of an auteur anime director (Oshii in the latter case) taking an established anime franchise and using it to, basically, do their thing. And thus they have fans among people who otherwise don't care much about those franchises, but get a much more mixed reaction from the fans (definitely more for BD, based on my experience).
― Duane Barry, Thursday, 28 April 2022 00:47 (two years ago) link
lol i was LITERALLY about to bring up beautiful dreamer
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 April 2022 00:54 (two years ago) link
i love learning that Beautiful Dreamer has a substantial non-UY fanbase!! i adored that movie in my teen peak anime fan days, but always figured it might be fairly impenetrable to the uninitiated.
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 28 April 2022 11:53 (two years ago) link
in both those cases the director was very involved with the parent TV series though so like, the established thing that the movie is diverging from is also theirs
― ciderpress, Thursday, 28 April 2022 14:59 (two years ago) link
That's true, and from what I gather Oshii did get experimental with a few UY episodes before Dreamer came out. He did keep the characters true to themselves, and put them in a really surreal and bizarre story; in contrast, I have come across some complaints that Lupin and co don't actually act very much in character in Cagliostro. I can't really comment on that as I've seen very little Lupin media in general, except for a few episodes of that recent-ish Fujiko Mine series which looked cool, but which I couldn't really get into.
― Duane Barry, Thursday, 28 April 2022 21:40 (two years ago) link
oshii’s patlabor 2 is another good example of this (worked on the series, took the movies in another direction but stayed true to the characters)
― (⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Thursday, 28 April 2022 23:39 (two years ago) link
patlabor 2 also has this amazing meta-layer where it's like interrogating the original ova as a text

i gotta say i watched a lot of lupin when it was on adult swim and the characterizations in cagliostro never seemed that different to me
watching ponyo again, sorry to the the losers and the haters

New Miyazaki film out next July!
The new feature film from director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli has been announced! HOW DO YOU LIVE (tentative title) opens in theaters in Japan on July 14, 2023. https://t.co/fHnLM6epTS— Studio Ghibli (@GhibliUSA) December 13, 2022

As briefly noted here Thank the boiler man, you idiot, for this Studio Ghibli thread
― Piedie Gimbel, Tuesday, 13 December 2022 15:09 (one year ago) link
HBO has the Japanese and western versions of these...I was switching back and forth watching Ponyo last night, and it's crazy that even the score is different, I'm pretty sure? In the English version it seemed much more overbearing and Copland-esque in many scenes.

That article is filled with the same kind of reductive nonsense that treats animation like a genre instead of a medium. It doesn’t offer any insights into Miyazaki or Ghibli; if you’re looking for those, read British film historian Helen McCarthy’s work
― beamish13, Thursday, 13 July 2023 17:17 (ten months ago) link
Have read McCarthy and she's doing something a bit different.

My goal right now is to avoid reading anything about the new film until it comes out in North America.

If this is really the final Miyazaki film (and I feel like he keeps saying that and then making another one), I'm glad it has weird gloopy creatures and odd old women in it.
