Mind Boggling

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2001)

The pinnacle of all manga and anime films. The "Citizen Kane" if you will.
The animation is simply stunning. It was all hand drawn. It's like comparing CD's and records. Cd's have better quality, digital sound, and dynamics. But vinyl just feels better. The sound is real. Like Akira's animation. Speaking of records, the soundtrack is, for lack of a better word, INCREDIBLE.
However, it's extremely violent. Not as violent as, say, "Legend Of The Overfiend", but more violent than "Pokemon" (no, I take that back).
Of course, much of the anime films released today mirror on this picture, but it will always be a groundbreaking film because of the way it was presented. A science-fiction film about how humans like to play with technology and the questions it raises, even if we can't understand them.
