My older brother had this movie when we were younger, he was into drawing so I believe the art style is what interested him. As far as I know we still have it somewhere. SPOILER ALERT: My favorite plot point is how Rock hated the robots so bad that he didn't want them to be the ones to kill his 'father' so Rock himself does it instead by pressing the BOOM button that kills them all including himself. That is one powerful end to a character that i've ever seen personally lol.

more people need to talk about the track "never going back".... its so beautiful. chills and tears every time it played.

I first saw this film on Adult swim Saturday night when i was 5 or 6 and fell in love with it. I was lucky enough to find a copy at a anime convention ten years ago

It’s crazy to me how the dirge version of the Star Wars theme music can immediately make my eyes water.

By chance I saw a Eureka Entertainment steelbook Blu-ray of this movie being announced a couple of years ago. I'm so glad I bought it, because I think it's out of print. The first time I ever heard about this movie was when I bought a Monty Python VHS, back in the year 2002. The tape contained a Metropolis trailer. After that I didn't hear a thing about this movie, until I saw that Blu-ray online.

you convinced me to give this anime a try. your way to explain things won my heart ngl. i would love to know your opinions on Mushoku tensei if you have watched that yet. Its a very controversial show yet the themes it handles is very dark. the moments hits hard and the story too. the flawed characters make it on of its kind in a good way. i would love to hear your opinions on it because it is not for everyone thanks

Totally agree, I hate Otaku moments in anime. I think AOT was the only recent anime that took itself seriously and I enjoyed.

These are very pertinent lessons for understanding stories in religion, myths, folklore, and history. I wish more would go through TH-cam media like Campbell, Edith Hamilton, etc. This should be a must-watch for Star Wars and other movie fans then we would have a better world.

I remember back in California my brother and I lived not far from a BLOCKBUSTER clone called HOLLYWOOD. They had arcade games so we'd frequent a lot with the quarters we had. One day after renting and watching Princess Mononoke, this anime came up in one of the opening trailers on VHS. We were both fascinated by the gritty yet mysteriois trailer. Once we had enough money saved up (a couple $). We went back to the movie store and started browsing. We found it. It was right there in VHS form, with Tima on the cover. After renting it we ran back home as fast as possible. And boy were our minds blown! The colors, the animation style, the context, the story. It was breath taking. Granted, we were too young to fully grasp what was going on politically in the anime, but it was a movie that opened up me up to my anime journey. Its now been 23 years since Ive seen it. But ive never forgotten it. The music, and the tragic, kind of weird romance between an android and a human, is weirdly nostalgic. And I love it. Oh yeah, this anime made me fall in love with Jazz...and now im a musician. 😂

It’s on Gogoanime

i bought this movie on my 10th birthday. I still have it, 25 years later

Watch the og full metal alchemist or start seinen

I saw this film 20 years ago, bought it on DVD. Recently was able to get on BluRay. It is a masterpiece.

Very well done. You deserve more attention on TH-cam.

So glad TH-cam recommended this to me. Thanks for the great zen quote and interpretation at the end!

Love this film. Pero was such an amazing robot detective.

I was just watching a video about how cells seem to have an intelligence and cognition to them. Sounds pretty midichlorian-y to me… th-cam.com/video/QfR4CDAQFWE/w-d-xo.html

first saw this in my aunts house, it was in Japanese and I couldn't read Korean subtitles so it just felt like a mildly horrific and boring acid trip.

Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful analysis. To be honest, I was traumatized by this film seeing it back in late 2001. That audio dissonance of that Ray Charles classic song against a terrible image of the Ziggurat falling apart while Kenichi was holding on to Tima's hand was so heartbreaking. It really hit me hard. And after 23 years, I cried again watching it. My wife with a beautiful heart noticed this and got angry at this movie and doesn't want to hear that song "I can't stop loving you".

I know this video is old but the mardukes are definitely the Nazis….

Metropolis is my favorite anime movie ever, so happy to see someone showing love for this great title... 🥰

I'm learning to understand the message behind this type of movies while watching it, but this kind of videos help a lot

2024 Friday May 10th, 10;58, just finished the movie. I love this movie and I look forward to rewatching this. The colors and animation with these colors is outstanding and I really like the music in it. Highly recommend to everyone else to see this film.

I couldn't cry at the show but the movie made me weep so hard I can't find words to explain it

Watched it in my Japanese culture class its one of rhe best films so far 10/10 in my book it felt like i was a little kid again the colors and the music were beautiful lots of emotion ❤

As a big fan of osamu tezuka when I was a kid, I can 't Believe I have never heard of this.

This anime will always have my heart it's beautiful

I know this is 6 years old but I have to vent, i thought I don’t even like anime but this had me tearing up on EVERY episode apart from ep 2, this is just stunning.

Great vid

I love this Iranian Vampire Movie. Ana Lily Amirpour's direction is Brilliant. Wonderful.

Thanks for honest take on this man

It still seems unnecessary to me, and I feel like the explanations that followed were just an attempt to fix a broken plot mechanism. Lucas just wanted to be able to do a blood test for the force, and came up with this. It reminds me of C-3PO’s costume malfunction later being explained away as him being unfinished and built from scraps.

I remember renting this from blockbuster and being in awe as a child. Thank you for this lovely video!

Very underappreciated anime, so many people don't seem to know about it

If you want to see a serious version of FMA then look no further than FMA 2003.

I've got one of a couple of Steelbook versions. Mines got a blu ray and dvd on it with a must attach clear slipcover. 2 of Ghost in the Shell BD steelbooks also require the slipcover. Once one watched this movie I couldn't see how anyone would forget it in truth I though until now it was a rights issue. Didn't know most haven't heard of it. I kept the dvd version as it had the only known dvd material second disc on a 3 inch disc.. Some have it as a full DVD-5 disc. 5 inch disc? no mines 3 inch.. All in a card board wrap.

Tima approves.

(This comment is mainly for christians who have watched the films akira and metropolis, or anyone with an open mind who is respectful) i must add this! im sure only very few people have caught onto this, but katsuhiro otomo is a prophetic writer, and it seems tezuka and his son are too, and although they arent christians (at least from what we know), and it is fiction, there is a little bit of reality in what he writes, God can and does still speak through whoever and whatever he wants to, and there still is prophetic elements that are actually happening in the predicted time frame, akira predicted the 2020 olympics woukd be held in tokyo, and would be cancelled due to an unforseen event, it also predicted the ammount of voilence and lawlessness we see today accurately, meteopolis seems to predict things that are starting to happen in real life right now as well, including robots being idolized, worshiped, and set up as gods, transhumanism, destructive protests, corrupt politicians, ect, theres also much of the same themes of violence and lawlessness that are seen in metropolis, much like akira, i could go on about the prophetic things i noticed in this film, its a whole list of things i think i could make an entire video about, its all very interesting! There's an even deeper level to it than most may not realize! Prophetic writers tend to really grab peoples attention for a moment, but then are forgotten about because people unconsciously avoid difficult truths, or its hard for people to grasp these things, jules vern was another prophetic writer and wrote about submarines way before they ever existed! If you have read this far, Godbless! 😊

I 100% relate to how shows lack seriousness and sincerity. That’s what put me off anime in general. There is no depth and layers to so many shows. It doesn’t have to be The Great Gatsby deep but they should at least try! It makes the shows feel like it’s not worth watching. It can be funny and be a hit of dopamine, but there is nooo impact that would make you remember the anime. A recent show Frieren, has picked up my interest in anime because there is actual depth in the story and characters. Art doesn’t need to be visually impressive, its context needs to be impactful.

Can you recommend this type of anime?

Incredible movie. And video :)

this is a really good story, I was constantly getting emotional through all of it.

A truly great and very interesting movie, I'm so glad that I finally watched it a few weeks ago. And this is a great essay on its themes.

This is my favorite anime of all time. I'm so glad it touched you as well

I bought this on DVD when it was released, awesome movie!

The video is lagging. And it's not a streaming problem. At the beginning at 00:02 to 00:03 it hangs for a quarter second and again 4 seconds later it does it again. Very bad. Not sure if this is your original video? I bet most people turn it off at that point. Edit: Happens again at 14s... you wouldn't believe how annoying that is.

Obviously inspired by the Body Thetans from Scientology. I'm not sure what Lucas's motivation was. He's either mocking Scientology (since Midichlorians are good instead of bad) or else he's trying to mainstream one of the central ideas of that religion.
