Altogether, a good Manga film. With some excellent animation.

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2007)

Seeing that this is the first Manga film I've ever seen I thought that it was OK. Once I have seen a few more Manga maybe I will show more respect for this film.
What really made this film was the animation, especially since this was made in the late 1980s. This is shown from the way that the animators were able to show a post-nuclear version of Tokyo. The action and fight scenes also depict why this film has become so popular.
What to me let the film down was the overall storyline as it seemed to be too complex. As a result the characters lacked development, which to me would have made the film much better, as you were not able to relate to them to such an extent.
