I knew absolutely nothing about this movie when I went to see it in theaters a few weeks back. Wow what a film! It's not perfect, but it has a real heart and soul that shines throughout. Don't even get me started on the amazingly jazzy score!!

Great vid

They played this movie at a local theater as a classic, and I decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did because experiencing it on the big screen was incredible; it's a visual masterpiece that creates an unforgettable experience. Hearing "I Can't Stop Loving You" surround me as chaos was unleashed was honestly one of the most memorable moments I've had at the movies.

Just saw this movie in theatres last night. Had no idea about the plot or setting and it blew me away. The designs for the city and its early 20th Century aesthetic are prevalent everywhere. The style of the characters and editing are reminiscent of the Golden Age of Animation. The classic music and the cinematography immersed me so much in the type of environment they were trying to convey. Even if you aren’t a fan of the story told, you can’t underplay the incredible value this movie has from a technical and artistic standpoint. I’d highly recommend this movie to everyone as a must see.

I’m watching this without having seen the movie yet. It’s one do those movies I’ve put on my watchlist but just haven’t gotten to it.

This is why I prefer Full Metal Alchemist over Brotherhood there is NO goofiness and it has a better ending

This one didn't make me cry, but it was definitely painful

I still have the DVD from it’s initial US release in the early 200’s. This, along with “Steamboy” from around the same time, helped cement my love of steampunk.

I have the Vhs copy of the film, my dad bought it many years ago

I will never watch a show that has had a such huge impact on my life.

Ah, it's so heartbreaking that most of the staff who created this anime are no longer with us due to the arson attack on Kyoto Animation Studio.

Just got married, we chose "The Love that Binds Us" as her march. 🙂

Do you know why this one stays underrated? Bc is simply not a good movie.

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.

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 RUclips.

So glad RUclips 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… ruclips.net/video/QfR4CDAQFWE/видео.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.
