Storming The Castle of Cagliostro

When gentlemen thief Lupin III sees a damsel in distress, he decides to save the day. These events just happen to coalesce with his journey to Cagliostro to search for the legendary goth mint. This legendary mint is home to the most realistic forged bills on the planet. Lupin realizes the girl and mint are in the same castle, so he sets out for one of his biggest capers yet.

This week, we’re talking all about modes of animation. Hayao Miyazaki also comes up, obviously. We also talk about the politics of sovereign nations, and Rome and the Goths.
