The Castle of Cagliostro: greatest shadowrun ever or most awesomest shadowrun ever? You decide!

Seriously, this movie has it all: sneak-thieves, gadgets, heavy weapons (an anti-tank gun!), spies, dastardly counts, explosions galor, AUTOGYROS (for riggers), mysterious rings, car chases, hidden identities, ninjas, fabulous treasures and even a real ronin with katanas that can cut anything.

The only thing it was missing was dinosaurs.

Sweet Mother of the Italian Job I'm going to run this as a shadowrun soon.

I have a hard time watching any anime with that style of animation. Doesn't matter how good the story is, I just can't get past the low framerate/jerky motion.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

I watched the HD version and it seemed very smooth in most of the scenes, though there were a few times it was choppy. YMMV.

The greatest Runner team is without a doubt the A-Team.

Don't forget the spiritual successors to those guys:


I wouldn't put them up against the A-Team, cuz they'd lose, but they make a good run...

Leverage on TNT, they just finished error the 2nd season's mid-season finale and announce they will be coming back for a third season. The characters are (L-R) Grifter, Hitter, Mastermind, Thief, Hacker

The blond girl is Beth Riesgraf, who's also a professional photographer. She's also the crazy one, channeling Murdoch at times.

She's also dating (married to?) Jason Jee, aka Brodie from Mallrats.
She's with that guy...   so you've got a chance with her, probably...

OH SNAP: they separated in 2007, but already had a kid... named Pilot Inspektor...

Nah, she's too hot for me.

I'm a realist. Celebrities are like pieces of fine art. Great to look at from the other side of a velvet rope, but pointless and troublesome to attempt to get closer to them.

Dating a celebrity sounds awful anyways.

Hey, Jason Lee is cool, aside from giving his kid a retarded name.

So she has no taste for names... I'd still do her.

On topic, I own all Lupin DVDs. I love that crew!

The one thing that killed Lupin for me was the voices. They grated on my nerves, the animation didn't really help either.
REJOICE! For bad things are about to happen.

I heard somewhere there was gonna be a new live action Lupin III movie. Could just be a rumor.

I'm still waiting for Tobey Maguire's live-action Robotech to get out of Development Hell.
