I didn't know what to expect - they showed this film at the final session of our Japanese course and I hadn't heard about it at all before.
First, I found the flick to contain a lot of great humor - thumbs up for that. Sometimes I find myself having a hard time with anime humor but this one actually got me choking several times - which is a good grade, I'd say. The piece itself invites to a quite cozy adventure with subjects of love, tension, theft and corruption being dealt with. I didn't expect the flick to be from '79, it felt like something much more recent, and I got surprised when I looked it up at IMDb, since the flick is neatly animated.
If you are looking for something suiting for family entertainment or just some general joy, I suppose this one could be a good candidate to keep in mind. 7/10.
