A while back I listed the anime I'd seen at the time, including Lupin III: Castle Cagliostro. I thought I'd said more about it at the time, such as that I wish I could have been there when
anima_mecanique saw the Grand Revelation for the first time, but apparently not. I liked it, though I wouldn't feel safe in analyzing why from memory. And I won't have to rely on memory, because somebody doing marketing for the newly released special edition (link is to a press release) contacted me, based on the earlier LJ entry, asking if I'd help out with their publicity in return for a free DVD, which arrived today. I smell viral marketing, but between open disclosure and the fact that I did like it (and all the other Miyazaki I've seen so far), I don't care.
Review to follow when I get a chance to watch it. Any locals want to join me?
I will make fun of the press release: I thought the big secret was rather older than 500 years and the Renaissance, though the protection mechanisms might have been Renaissance. I note the release French and Spanish get dubs, but no subtitles, which I'd have thought would be easier. And here's a wikipedia link on various releases of the film.
