| Metropolis : 3 of 5 | |

 This anime is a kind of remake of the classic Fritz Lang film of the same name, but the similarities are few, actually. The plot involves a highly advanced future city, a class struggle between robots and humans, an obsession with power and immortality, and a beautiful young "super being" created to rule it all. The look of the film is incredible, with amazing CG environments and very simple characters (think Tintin meets Astroboy), but their interaction is wonderful, especially between Kenichi and Tima (the robot girl who doesn't know she's a robot). The music is interesting - it's mostly jazz, both standards and new compositions, all of which really fit the bizarre settings of the seedier zones of the multi-layer Metropolis. Unfortunately, I didn't really feel for the characters - I really enjoyed the movie, but it never completely took hold of me. I'd still call it a must-see anime, though!
