Watch it twice or watch it closely

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 1999)

As an anime film it has all the cool stuff, exploding people, massive guns, enthralling cityscapes, cheesy dialog. As with many of my favorite anime films there is also an undercurrent of very deep thought and plot if you are willing to look beneath the glamour. If you are willing to stop seeing everyone in it as the good guys or the bad guys and watch what they are doing and why.
