In Reply to: Don't let it pass unotice, this recent super film... posted by Lee P on July 11, 2002 at 14:10:21:
The computer animation is quite lovely in "Metropolis", but the routine story left me flat (a plot hybrid of "Akira" and "Ghost In The Shell"). Ditto for "Blood: The Last Vampire", another Cameron anime fave.I like "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" better than either of the others, because the animation is original and well-crafted, and the plot moves well, at least until the obscure ending.
Follow Ups:
Just want to add something, Metropolis is from the creator of Astro Boy, in french: "Astro, le petit robot".And did you see Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, Demon City? These are my others favorites japanimation.
Jin-Roh and Akira are good too. Blood the Vampire, not bad at all, but it could be better if only the vampire look "badder", he's too childish.
... but I suspect that it'll be somewhat different from the animated version (grin)! [see attached URL, and here's another - http://www.kino.com/metropolis/]Since this is out of town, we'll probably make a weekend of it and catch the Sat. night feature as well! :o)
