Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro was a reat movie. The beginning quickly established a mood. It had great music. It also had great animation, especially for a movie released in the 80s.

I haven't seen the show or read any of the manga, but this movie made me want to watch the show or read the manga.

The roof jumping was hilarious.

*Initially, on 20181130, I couldn't find my notes on the movie; it seemed unlike me. Luckily, Ada woke up from her nap and came out while the movie was still playing and she recognized it as "Lupin." That's when I realized that we had watched it together, and typically, when I watch a movie with her, I'll either not take any notes or take notes via text messages to my email. In this case, it was the latter.
