The Greatest Animated Film, Anime or otherwise...

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2006)

This film is a milestone for anime, and animation in general. This film based of the manga(comic-book) of the same name, has a great story, likable characters, and extra-ordinary situations, that show animation is a great way to show these things. From the motorcycle chase, to Tetsuo's rampage, the animation stays brilliant and the pace never lets down. The film is worth viewing at least once for those who have never seen anime before, or is an animation fan. The voice acting ranges however, depending on which version you watch. The Japanesse version is great through and through. The English dubs, although not as good, still great. A lot of people will argue that the Pionieer dub is worse than the original dub, but I disagree. I believe the Pionieer dub is much superior but the original isn't bad either. A warning though, even though the film is animation, it is violent. So for those of you who thought animation isn't really violent, you are dead wrong.
