Katsuhiro Otomo's AKIRA, for me, has always been the high benchmark for all anime that has followed in the intervening years. Nothing since has quite matched it for sheer visual dynamism. Rintaro's adaptation of Tezuka's METROPOLIS (scripted by Otomo) came close in terms of scope, ambition & technique but STEAMBOY manages to surpass both.
Steamboy is great stuff.. bought it on DVD from HK... Loved the dodgy accents too!
ReplyDeleteHah! yeah the 'Manchester' accents on the English dub are hilarious.
