When I was about six, having recently moved to a new country where I didn't speak the language, I caught a few minutes on TV of a cartoon. It was very different from anything I'd seen before, even if I didn't understand the words, and kind of stayed with me. It's only now, all those decades later, that I realize it was the before-last episode of Future Boy Conan.

Didn't know Hayao Miyazaki worked on that Lupin III movie. Also, for an anime movie that came out in 1979, it looks a TV anime from the 80s.

I have to admit this video felt bogged-down with the play-by-play movie recap. I'm not sure I really understand how this makes Lupin an anti-hero, or the broader meaning of that thesis, but I quite like your voice and chill presentation style.

This was good movie

宮崎駿氏のファンと公言してる外国人でこの映画を知らない見てないなんて人はファンを公言してはダメと言われても仕方ない作品だよ 宮崎駿氏の劇場版処女作だからね？？

Hey, liked the video so far, but I recommend trying to modulate your voice better, it can be hard to understand, specially as non-native english speaker

You sound so unbelievably bored.

This is one of my favorite films ever

Great video Look forward to seeing more. Would appreciate if you would mix the volume of the music a little lower it got distracting at times. Keep up the good work.

Doesn’t that just make him a hero?

I don't see how you can list Michael Corleone among the anti-heroes. He is a mob boss, and not at all a hero. He might see himself as protector of his family and loyal friends and followers, but only as the "king." He might have been a true hero during the war, but in the context of the movies, as he falls into the mafia life, he never helps anyone without any sense of obligation.

There's a difference between a likeable villain and anti-hero. A villain is a villain, some with more flair than others. An anti-hero is someone who does terrible things, but often for the right reasons. Lupin III is a world class thief but he saves a princess. Captain Jack Sparrow is a pirate, but he saves his friends lives. Ghost Rider sold his soul to the devil to cure his father's cancer. Deadpool is an assassin, but he often helps people and breaks the fourth wall doing it!

Like dark souls Miyazaki? Edit: im stupid nvm

Miyazaki just thrown away the entire character sheet of Lupin and used one of his already existing characters for his role. Don't get it wrong, I like the man and his style and *the Castle of Cagliostro* is my favorite Lupin Movie. But he didn't "enhanced" the character in some way, working with the source material, he just wrote a "fan fiction". I wish the characters of Lupin were always like this (and become like this, after the movie), but they are nothing alike, so, in conclusion: this is a beautiful story, but it has to be taken as a Marvel "What IF... Lupin was the opposite of what Monkey Punch created".

This was the beginning of my love for the Lupin the lll cartoons. I remember my first impression of the character was that every time he smiled, I compared him with a puppy.

This was awesome. Thanks for spotlighting.

Lupin is an anti-villain.

My dood you just reminded me of a piece of my childhood. I fell in love with this movie when i was kid.

i don't think we're talkin' about the same Miyazaki...

1:42 Woah! I just realized something! When I was a kid in Nigeria, I remember an episode of Samurai Jack (Jack and the labyrinth) where he met a thief character that looked a lot like Lupin's friend. I didn't get the reference since I had never seen anime at that point and only got into anime in 2021, but it's only now that I just realized the reference😲😲

Future Boy Conan is kinda a precursor for Laputa Castle in the sky, story wise characters there are many parallels.

One of my favorite things about Lupin is that he’s a great example of a lead character who seems to be full of himself, overly cocky, and never really changes that much in the end. Most TV shows or movies would have the main character confront these flaws or have them be the comic relief. But it’s part of what makes him so cool and memorable. We recognize these flaws in ourselves at times, but like that there’s a character that not only learns to live with them but often uses it to his advantage, helping drive him closer to his goals. But at the same time, there are several episodes and movies have little character moments for Lupin that do show some heart and urgency. Showing that there is a part of him that can get out of his own head and legit cares.

ive seen lupin around for SO long and i just never gave it a chance. very very rarely over the years did i consider it and that was just because of a few popular snippets or fanart. this video broke down the movie well with a lot of intrigue left. youve sold me on watching this and maybe the anime too. great job!

I enjoyed the video and even found some of the info new to me and you did inspire me to do a lot of research and thinking, so props to you. However, i did have a lot of problems with the video, so lets go through them all, starting with the premise. Did Miyazaki redefine Lupin? Maybe. As the video mentions(although quickly skims past it) Miyazaki was a codirector of a lot of the episodes of the first series(7, 8, 10, 11, 13-23) and if you look at episode 11 in particular it has a lot of similarities with castle of cagliostro. Mainly an innocent girl kept captive and lupin risking his life to save her. So its possible that compared to the manga its more lighthearted(haven't read it yet), but it also means these hero traits and hopeful atmosphere already existed before the movie. I need a lot more convincing to agree with the premise. This brings me to my next problem with the video. You dont really do much to show how miyazaki changed the character of lupin, specificly with comparisons to how he used to be. Maybe instead of summarizing the movie(which did not add anything to your points), you should have focused on the initial premise of the video. 3:00-8:16 for those that havent seen the movie and want to skip the summary. And speaking of lacking focus. You mention a lot of information, but a lot of it has nothing to do with the initial point. And speaking of initial points, the title of the video should probably be called "How Miyazaki redefined Lupin", cuz he isn't really redefining the concept of the anti-hero. When you mention Conan, you should specify future boy conan. I genuinely thought you meant detective conan and was really confused with the comparisons. In summary, you are kind of all over the place. You should clearly introduce your points at the start and then give information that's relevant. Now on to some of the more technical issues. You should lower or not use the music while speaking. And i did notice some weird changes in the sound when you were talking. Like if you jump from 2:00 to 2:20, it sounds a lot different. I assume you did different audio cuts and quality changed between them, which can be jarring if noticed. Though your video editing overall is pretty good. Anyways, i think that's all i wanted to say. Hope ya continue making videos and dont find this comment discouraging.

Still my fav anime, the animation and art doesn't look dated at all, the backgrounds, color palette and animation are an Asian luxury compared to modern stuff

we are In the End times also Jesus is the only way! Jesus is coming / rapture soon! [][] Jacobs troubles ( 7 year tribulation / hell on earth ) is coming ( Israel formally declares war against Hamas / But now Israel is Surrounded on 7 Fronts... ) If we Christians disappear soon, Your know the Lord has taken us Home! Now we need prayed for the Jews and to get many people saved as possible... Romans 10:9-13 King James Version 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on haim shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:38-39 King James Version 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

I'll see the movie for myself thank you very much. Grade D.

Feel like this was more of a plot summary than an explanation/examination on who Lupin was and what he became. Good vid tho😊

What i Love about Miyazaki is his Characters are Always Simple by Look and Act but has 3Dimesional Characteristic. There neither Invincible or Flawed, they don't Always know what there doing is either Right or Wrong, and there Always Loveable!

I wish we'd seen some princess feet in Cagliostro.

The music is too loud at the start

Miyazaki was the spark of lite that changed the lupin the third character from greedy adult fare to some thing for every one

Miyazaki famously hates the U.S for warmongering and influencing the trajectory of Japan after World War II

My exposure to Conan is on Spanish tv. I never really mew what was goin on but delighted to watch be cause I recognized Miyazaki’s work

If swear he worked on puss and boots after the Norse prince and The animal treasure island

24:12 Dated? Wdym? OK, maybe... I'd take that any day of the week over todays' garbage cgi tho... I'm *_not_* referring to some *_actually good_* cgi like in Konosuba. But the horrendous incarnations of the eye cancer like Meliodas vs Escanor, or other ones that would be an insult to call PS2 graphics. *For the PS2 graphics...*

It turned out that our company did the subtitling for Lupin IIIrd Castle of Cagliostro. I don't think I was the translator, but I was the technician when we timed the subtitles to the program. This may have been the first time I've ever heard of Hayao Miyazaki. I didn't know how to read his given name since he uses an unusual kanji. 駿 is normally read "Shun," but 駿馬 means a fast horse so that's why it's read "Hayao."

Very well done!

1:32 the original name of the film is Horus Prince Of The Sun, it was renamed for its initial release overseas

1:23 my interest was piqued when I saw that you were going to cover the Nausicaa manga (and also Shuna's Journey!) I think its severely underappreciated

Awesome

Remember i'd watch cagliostro so many times as a kid a i had to re-record it years later bc my tape was ran ragged : P

i fw u

I wanna know how Miyazaki redefined the anti-hero

I remember being blown away by thstt movie the first time I saw it. Great video :)

Not enough people talk about this show.

Dude...Buy yourself a lavalier mic! Or find a way to bring your microphone closer to your speaking voice...Just some helpful advice...otherwise your video was very good...

Enjoyed the concept of the story, some camera angles were odd but enjoyed the short film. Looking forward to the next one.
