Well, despite your impression it was included among the top 50 greatest animated films ever made in a poll made in 2003 among 140 animators (Laputa poll). Though given the small number of good animated movies in existence up to that time it is not impossible that a mediocre movie made through. |

Nostalgia vote, also Cagliostro is not as well respected at home, for not being the "True" Lupin. Also IIRC, those were the only two theatrical Lupins--Babylon Gold didn't play theaters, did it? |

Really, this film should be mandatory for all anime fans. "Welcome to the anime club. Here is your complimentary copy of Cagliostro!"
I cant wait to get into the extras on this. |

For those that might have an older version and this one, I have the DVD (Manga version if it matters), is it visually worth the upgrade?

Ah, thank you very much! It was something I did for this film's anniversary, so I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
Mamo is a film that's not to everyone's taste, and I totally understand that. I personally enjoyed though because of how closer it was to the manga and it's overall insane atmosphere. It's no masterpiece like Cagliostro, but I found it to be a fun ride regardless. I think a lot of people view it more to be a historic animation piece, rather than a "good" film altogether. I did a long review of this film too as well. http://thepunkeffect.com/oliver-otaku-lupin-iii-the-mystery-of-mamo-review-interview-with-richard-epcar/ It should also be noted that Mamo was one of the first anime films to be dubbed in English. Toho basically got any English speakers who lived in the Tokyo area, auditioned them, and then selected them as voice actors. Most anime back then had been heavily edited for American broadcast, but this was to my knowledge the first time they released a film uncensored in English. Some say that it was made specifically for international airline flights, but that's been debated somewhat. |
