Manga Mavericks @ Movies #7: The Castle of Cagliostro

Manga Mavericks

Manga Mavericks might be on a temporary hiatus, but @ Movies is still in action! Last week the Mavericks went to see The Castle of Cagliostro on the big screen, and they had a great experience! We talk about Miyazaki's theatrical directorial debut and its strengths and weaknesses, cultural impact, how it differs from other Lupin the Third works, and how it fits into the grand scheme of his conspiracy to get children to mistrust authority figures and become addicted to drugs! You might be scratching your heads at that last part, but trust us, we'll open your eyes to what this movie is really about!
