RE: Lupin the 3rd
I agree, Miyazaki's episodes from Green and Red Jacket are more faithful in tone and characterization than Cagliostro is. It's a superb film, I consider it and The Mystery of Mamo the "essential" Lupin movies as they both have the best aesthetics that the series has to offer (IMO) and when compared to each other they show how flexible this franchise is.
Is the Manga dub any good? I hear it has David Hayter (Solid Snake) as Lupin, so I'm been interested.

I've been to two of those places, so I will give my opinion for those two.
Berlin was interesting because of the more recent history that there was to see from the Cold War and some from the 1800's. There's a museum district with a variety of things to see if you are interested in that. I went to one that had a number of things on Ancient Mesopotamia as well as early Islamic cultures. The sights of the Berlin Cathedral, Victory Column, as well as seeing the remains of the wall are all neat sights. There are also some parks spread around the city, one I went to was quite pretty and relaxing. I also got to do a tour of an air raid bunker among many other things I got to do. It was an interesting experience and I would love to go back and see it again.
Rome has a lot more stuff dating back in the BC period to see, and once you get into the main area you can continue to walk around for hours and see something different. I got to tour the Coliseum, Vatican Museum, Crypts and Catacombs, Parthenon, and see a number of other sights. There's definitely a lot of history there, and then there's the fact that there is Gelato everywhere. Not sure if it would be a part of your field trip. but I also went to Pompeii which is an easy three hour or so drive from Rome, which I was able to see the volcano and Naples from above, as well as the city of Pompeii.
Both are great choice, but they will be quite different. If you want me to I can post or send you a few pictures of each place to get an idea of those two places. I had a friend who just recently went to Prague, so I could ask her about it if you want as well.
Prague seems like the least popular choice. So it'll probably be the least tourist contaminted and most fun.
That and there is good beer there.
They settled on Prague, which is what I had hoped for. But thanks for the advice. I'm looking forward to the trip.

RE: The Travelling Thread/ The Home Town Thread
So we're planning a class trip somewhere in Europe and we have three alternatives: Rome, Berlin and Prague. Which one of those three options would you pick and why?

RE: What are you reading? (Literature)
Still reading Moby Dick, I'm at around page 110 out of 320~ and my favorite parts are still Ishmael's humorous philosophical ramblings.

RE: The Nostalgia Thread
Here's the theme from one of the earliest cartoons I remember watching when I was super young. I don't know if it aired in many countries but I was pretty excited when I randomly managed to unearth this piece of nostalgia a couple of years ago.
