ルパン三世 カリオストロの城
Mike Toole of Anime News Network stated that when he first watched "The Legend of the Gold of Babylon" in the 1990s, he hated it, having only known Lupin as the "smooth, gallant antihero" from "The Castle of Cagliostro" and "The Plot of the Fuma Clan". Whereas "Legend of the Gold of Babylon"'s version of Lupin is closer to Monkey Punch's original "rough, drunken, lecherous crook." However, a decade later, he stated that the film "goes down much smoother" having been acquainted with Suzuki's other work, the director being known for his bizarre and oddly-structured films.
