Massive graphic novel series turned into a confusing (yet fantastic) film

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 1998)

This was the second Anime movie I had seen (Orutsikadji: Legend of the Overfiend was the first), and I must say that it is the best I`ve seen EVER. The plot can be a little strange the first time around, but after the 3rd time watching it, it all falls together! Its main fault is that it was based on an unfinished Graphic Novel series (28 issues, I think) and was absolutely massive - they cut a LOT of it out to fit the movie into just over 2 hours!
The animation is great (surpassed only by Ghost in the Shell), the detail is fantastic and Tetsuo`s dream sequences are really cool.. the music is eerie and atmospheric..
A fantastic film.
