Was wondering if you would review more manga in the future.
I've seen the 1927 movie Metropolis and is one of the few silent films I like. It's noticeable for it's visuals of the futuristic high rises and skybridges, a humanoid robot, and the character of Rotwang, one of the first mad scientists and the first character eith a black glove on his right hand. Can you name a few with gloves on the right hand? So Metropolis had major influences on Stanly Kubrick, George Lucus, Ripley Scott and Osamu Tezuka(little). It was also the influence for the 1998 anime version. I highly recommend it and you should check it out! The special effects are mind blowing, the plot is solid, the morals are ambiguous, and the themes are layered. Also check out the Novel Metropolis by Thea Von Harbou, it has alot more explanatory than the movie. Anyways, check it out on youtube or by the dvd which ever you prefer. PEACE!

Anthony-the worst manga would be wounded man.I bought every volume at a some what high price with out reading it at all,it was so bad that it was good!I might review a bad manga sometime but this show will stay at about 95%anime content.

30th episode.

Awesome episode Regan my man. I love Tezuka and apollo's song sealed the deal for me. Me and Marius share the same feelings about metropolis. I think the anime made the story more human and a little closer to the original film that inspired it.

Riggs, I saw the trailer to the Astro Boy movie, and was wondering what your thoughts are. I'm skeptical and not too sure bout it.

Regan Strongblood said...

Tissuekins-yeah man I love the film,but according to Tezuka the manga wasnt based off the German film,he simply like the name.

Anthony-I have high hopes for the new astro though off the bat im pretty sad that they changed the character design I guess astro now has a coat on instead of just the black shorts.As a massive astro boy fan I have to have hope though,at least the director worked with the guys at tezuka productions.

My biggest hope is a proper blu ray release of the new astro boy show,because its really good.

p.s new show will be up very soon.
