The story is wonderful. I don't want to spoil it but it's such a romantic journey and it has plenty of fun for everyone. It's just finely crafted.
The art and animation is fantastic for it's time, and holds up today. It's Miyazaki so you know what to expect.
I gave the sound a 7 because really it kind of did leave something to be desired. The sound was a little cheap with the effects. Make no mistake though, the music was quite good. The music was not quite as good as later stuff by Hisashi that would come later, but still some good music I listen to on occasion.
Characters I only gave a 9 because Monkey Punch (the author of the manga) said that Lupin was quite out of character. I see where he's coming from with that remark, but at the same time this is canonically later on in Lupin's career. This is when he acts more mature I would think, and it works wonders for his character.
Overall this movie is one of the best anime movies I have ever seen. I'd recommend it to absolutely anyone who likes animation because some scenes, especially the car chase, are simply captivating. A wonderfully delightful film.
