Rougue Slayer That's odd, so did I, probably due to the fact that I watched it very late at night as a small child, kinda weird to know someone else shared the same experience...
+Rougue Slayer This is a very strange sensation! Pretty amusing that scientists did not study it properly. I for example too have a cartoon I think is real but remembering it as a dream. If anyone know an old cartoon where a girl traveled to another dimension filled with magic fairies and staff. She also wore a purple flower like dress. Can't recall the name or the scenario =(.
I love how Ray Charles' song and the destruction seen on screen are so contrasting but at the same time so complimentary of each other. One of my favorite anime movies, no, movies ever. I was sitting at my moms one day and randomly turned this movie on... not knowing what a beautiful ending was in store for me.
This technique is obvious used a lot. Another thread mentions the end of Dr. Strange love's We will meet again while the nukes exploding, and the John Woo movie's Somewhere over the rainbow over a gun fight.
A Japanese animated remake of a German movie from almost a hundred years prior and its climax involves Ray Charles? This is officially the greatest thing I have ever seen
I hate being that person, but this is actually based on a manga of the same name by Osamu Tezuka. He claimed he never watched the film, but did gather inspiration from it while making the manga (mainly just a still shot of the scene of the Maschinenmensch being constructed) However, apparently a lot of plot elements from the 1927 film are present in the movie compared to the manga, so you’re not entirely off. It’s a fun coincidence though that they happened to be named the same
@@demi_shin Yeah I don't buy that he didn't at least watch the movie once, theres too much in similarities a humanoid robot who eventually brings about the destruction of a city, from what I saw there are differences but theres also a lot of similarities including the name. It's cool if he took inspiration from it Metropolis is one of the influential movies of the last 100 years but yeah I don't 100% buy that this is like Denice the Menace where two cartoon creators came up with the same thing at the same time.
There is nothing I love more then reading the comments of all the other people who stumbled on this and instantly were like "holy shit I remember this". I saw this forever ago and thought it was like a dream or something l, crazy how some stuff just stick with you.
All I remembered of this movie was the ending and the part leading up to it, the song instantly resonated itself the moment I heard it. I was like THAT'S THE MOVIE I WATCHED ONE NIGHT AT MY GRANDMA'S ON ADULT SWIM MOVIE NIGHT!
they thought this was a dream because they watch it when they're small... this movie came up.. I'm already 17 years old.. but i still. remember movie like krull just like a dream..
thats the thing about true art. saw this movie only once when i was no more than 10 on new years eve and i never forgot it. i really felt for the characters.
Remember watching this as a child. That last part , the tragic destruction , the lost love and that Ray Charles music were all engraved in my memory and left me with a deep yearning for something I do not know
20 years from today, Metropolis hit the big screens in Japan, and 20 years later I hold it close in my heart as one of the greatest films ever made. Happy Metropolis Day!
It's not just the visuals that make this a great climax, but also the combination of a song that at first you think would feel really out of place with what's going on and yet somehow, it really works!
+eclipsesonic if i remember well , this music also goes with the sacrifice of the girl , a huge proove of the strenght of love and it s smt fantastic , like the song ...
When it goes silent and the music just comes up... It's... I've never felt that, it's so sad. When I was a boy I was heartbroken. Now I'm 30 years old and this still breaks me.
At first I had that exact same feeling but now after watching the film a bunch of times I couldn’t imagine any other song playing. The song is also thematically rich as it can be applied to Rock’s relationship with Duke Red, as well as Kenichi losing Tima
I don't even remember it. The last time i remember seeing it was in 2007 when i was about 3 or 4 but was the ending something like an old man told him "she was a robot and it was bound to happen she can't love you" or something?? That's one of the only parts was is still engraved into my mind
Caz Frege very specific names or titles do that to people lol i was a little kid when i 1st watched it, so i couldn't know name of the movie at all. (Also only watched endinv of movie, until i watched it again in my teens.) Good legit stuff never becomes forgotten, it sticks with you. The bullcrap part of life becomes forgotten cause we hate remembering bad moments.
That picture of the shop named after her, with Kenichi running it, is from the booklet in a soundtrack released only in Japan. It was never actually in the credits.
This animation is absolutely phenomenal! The backgrounds have a very early 2000s Disney vibe to them while the characters feel more Astro-Boy inspired.
the movie is actually based on a manga by the man who created astro boy, osamu tezuka! that's why it has some of his art style and characters, though tima was created specifically for this movie
holy shit i vaguely remember this exact scene from when i was like 4 or 5 years old and its crazy enough to just have found the scene. But to see other people in the comment section say the same is mind blowing how the visuals of this scene can really stick to your mind
I watched this scene over and over today. I used to love this movie as a kid. Now as an adult I realize why this scene is so powerful. It truly conveys what it’s like to lose someone you love. If you’ve ever been there when someone you love dies you understand. There’s so much gravity of what’s happening and you see them beyond coming back but there’s still a flicker of all the happiness of what once was. And then they slip away. Pure tragedy
I watched this back when I was still a kid in cartoon network. The bittersweet ending really stuck with me. I fell in love with the characters and the song elevated the ending making me remember the song up until adulthood.
Oh my God, this fucking scene is sooooo heart wrenching. I remember watching this while I was twelve and being bummed out that Tima was probably going to die, but the fact that her memory started to come back to her as she plunged to her death made me hate life. Oh my God, I was so goddamn sad.
Nitwits World you know that's what this dumbass should have done in the first place whenever she ends up falling just dive and literally hold on her on fall into what ever the fuck they were falling into and stay safe afterwards...
I've been trying to remember what this anime was called for YEARS, and suddenly the ending appears in my recommended section? Praise be the RUclips gods, and praise be the wonderful person who posted this video!
I randomly remembered it at the back of my head one day and decided to watch it again. I guess this movie must have been underrated if so many people forgot about it even though it was so good.
Liber Amans . . . Because Disney distributed most of their films in america so a huge portion of their american fanbase ain't really anime fans and aren't aware that it's not the only animation studio in japan?
This scene will stay with me for a really long time. This is probably the single most painful scene for me to watch. Good job, Madhouse. You really got me with this one.
crazy how 15 years later this movie still has the best 2d animation out there. The pacing really ruined it for me though.... ill need a second watch to truly appreciate the writing and directing. but the animation and music alone are 100000/10
Dude, I remember this movie ! 0.0 I was probably like 10 or something like that and i was sitting in the couch, early in the morning and looking though the channels to find something to watch and I stumbled over this. It was at the end and this scene stayed with me for such a long time, I was obsessed trying to find the actual film XD I even remembered Tima saying ,,Who am I ?" !
I exactly this same!!! I was looking for that film a long time...For the few years. And had already an obsession . The only thing I remembered were words:" Who I am"..And now...just woow...I found it..but seemed to me that I looked a bit different..little like Disney's cartoons..or something like that..thx..
+Sebastian Martinez I'm the same haha :D, it was on either UK channel 4 or 5 at like 2 in the morning. Canny strange that so many people have found this clip based on seeing it one time years ago without even knowing it's name.
+Sebastian Martinez Yeah. It's one of those great lost titles. I'm 22 and I just found it last year, but damn it was hard to find. Wow, though, such a great film.
I was finally allowed by my parents to see this movie, last year. The ending had me crying so much...this film is truly a work of beautiful genius...such strong emotion and the artwork is stunning. Thank you Rintaro for this masterpiece!
Haruko Haruhara in the end Kenichi rebuit Tima and together they run a robot repair shop. The director took out a picture of this from the end but you can still google it and find the picture :D
I remember watching this really late at night on Cartoon Network, but I've always thought it was a dream. Glad to see many others with the same nostalgia.
Had this on DVD when it was released but I long lost it. Man oh man this ending still hits hard. The timing for this sequence is what does it for me. Absolutely Perfect! People may give it crap for the CG that was used but..dude...This is still a classic in my Opinion. Still gets me teary.
For more than 10 years, this movie still affects me so much. Specially when Tima remembers, but there are certainly some other moments during this part, which are really strong.
Remember watching this on hbo late at night after waking up . And I always thought it was a dream, every once in awhile it always come backs to me out of nowhere
Yeah Stanley Kubrick liked using soundtrack dissonance in his films. The other famous example is "singing in the rain" in A Clockwork Orange. My personal favorite is Komm Susser Todd in End of Evangelion.
Oh man, how did I forget about this film? It came out when I started high school and I was OBSESSED with it. I love the core of the story between Kenichi and Tima for the same reasons I love Let The Right One In/Let Me In. It's a great story about young love and the fact that it's an epic Sci-Fi film is just icing on the cake. I was so engrossed by this film that I spent that entire school year creating my own version of the film in comic form. Wish I still had that notebook. Anyway, glad I rediscovered this classic.
The first time I saw this movie was when I was 6 years old in the very early 2000. It was quite a trippy experience, I remember I was left shaken for the rest of day after seeing that final scene.
All these years I thought Tima was gone only to find out that there is an epilogue picture showing her to be rebuilt and running a robot shop alongside Kenchi. I was finally happy. I mean, it's a bit silly to feel for an artificial being in a fictional but the ending still got to me because it portrayed such overwhelming emotions.
I never cease to cry when this scene happens. I wanted Kenichi to save Tima so badly even though I understand why he couldn't. One of the most beautiful scenes ever created.
This is one of the very first movies that allowed me to feel desperation, specially with this scene (I can't feel emotions properly, so for me it's a huge deal). Nowadays I don't feel much about it anymore, but I must thank it for helping me know what desperation is. A true masterpiece.
I will never forget the day I first saw this anime. It's been 6 years, but it's still one of my favorites. It is unique and inimitable. I'm ready to listen to this song every day, remembering the finale of the anime. Tima, you're a robot, but you have a soul.
I remember watching this movie as a kid and it completely broke my heart in a million pieces. I cried all the times I watched. Now I'm 20 and I don't know if it'll have the same effect on me now since it's been over a decade but we'll see
First time I watched this movie, soon as the song started I just applauded and began tearing up. Such a perfect song to use, it fit like a glove and now whenever I hear the song it reminds me of this scene.
Jesus Christ. I just watched the movie and I’m literally shook. I think I have a whole new level of respect for anime now... this movie is a masterpiece✨
I remember being completely flabbergasted by this ending, and not having ANY idea how to feel about it. I was completely blindsided.. had to watch the movie again just to figure out how to feel.
AHHH, it's too powerful!!! this movie, and this scene in particular, *destroyed* me as a kid. i wanted nothing to do with the movie for a long time... until finally, i thought it must be a great movie to have made me feel so strongly, so i watched it again. it's incredible..
I remember first seeing a DVD of this movie in a shop, but another DVD was blocking the "opolis" and half the "p." My dumb brain thought "Wow there's an animated Metroid movie?! How I never...oh." Some time later I saw it was scheduled to play on TV. Animation and action still holds up, and the soundtrack is a masterpiece.
I remember seeing this in theaters in 2001... it was a small independent theater that usually did Indie films or foreign small time movies. The whole audience was silent at the end.
You have no idea how excited I was when I finally learned the name of this movie. I have vague memories of seeing it for the first time on Cartoon Network back in 2006 - 2007. Then I saw it again on CineMAX right in this scene, but I changed the channel because I was scared by how Tima moves her fingers and chokes Kenichi, only to put it back right in the final shot with the radio. It wasn't until I was in high school that I finally found out what it was called thanks to RUclips, and since then it's been my favorite anime movie of all time. I love the story, the animation, the music, the characters, and I especially love the relationship between Tima and Kenichi, and discovering the photo of the post-credits scene filled me with joy for the two of them. Years later I was finally able to read Tezuka's manga and realize how different they are, but I don't care. I love this movie with all my soul.
I know the song was probably chosen primarily for Tima’s feelings about Kenichi, but I can’t help but also feel a pang of sympathy for Rock and his adoration of his father. Rock loves his father so deeply that he’d rather bring the Ziggurat down and kill them all than suffer the indignity of his father being killed by rebellious robots. His refusal to let Tima rule is born not only of jealousy but because he believes his father is the only person great enough to rule. Despite the fact that his father loathes him, Rock still “can’t stop loving” him, as the song goes. It’s really tragic. What a wonderful film.
Remember watching this on cartoon network about 14 or so years ago when I was 7 or 8. This scene and film aways had some sort of effect on me and to see it again now is surreal.
Such a haunting scene. This has been burned into my brain since my childhood, and I think that feeling was worth it. Showing my kids this movie one day too.
I remember watching this a long time ago but couldn’t remember the name, I was talking to my friend recently about this movie and explaining how it made me so sad, I’m glad I found it again
For more than 12 yeas I have been looking for this moment until now! reading some of the comments I saw that many people was thinking exactly like me, about how this movie touched our feelings when we were only childs... great movie and great ending!
For at least a decade I thought this movie was a dream and didn't exist...now I found it...
same here
Rougue Slayer That's odd, so did I, probably due to the fact that I watched it very late at night as a small child, kinda weird to know someone else shared the same experience...
ＢＲＰＲＯＤＵＣＴＩＯＮＳ So strange, but kinda awesome :3
+Rougue Slayer This is a very strange sensation! Pretty amusing that scientists did not study it properly. I for example too have a cartoon I think is real but remembering it as a dream. If anyone know an old cartoon where a girl traveled to another dimension filled with magic fairies and staff. She also wore a purple flower like dress. Can't recall the name or the scenario =(.
AngelSlayer spirited away
I think why people mistakenly passes this film off as a dream is because it had dream-like qualities.
True, even my mind is convinced that this is somehow a dream
And nobody talks about it. It's a forgotten masterpiece.
...Yeah?
i just realize it wasn't dream after someone share a scene of them together
It's sad that the CG used in this is better than the entire Berserk 2016 anime's animation.
The cgi here is well implemented is why, plus its a big budget movie
well it had a much bigger team and budget lmao
proof the more times pass doesnt mean things get better
Thomas Revill yeah what gives ?
Probably because this is had big budget, had a bigger team behind it, and it was all made for one movie rather than several episodes
都市の崩壊が始まる爆発シーンで、この曲が流れてきた時は全身鳥肌が立った。
ティマとケンイチ、二人の別れの瞬間に去来した思いは想像するしかないけれど、このシーンにこの選曲をされた方の素晴らしいセンスに拍手を送りたい。
I love how Ray Charles' song and the destruction seen on screen are so contrasting but at the same time so complimentary of each other. One of my favorite anime movies, no, movies ever. I was sitting at my moms one day and randomly turned this movie on... not knowing what a beautiful ending was in store for me.
kh tindell it's kinda like the Comedian's death in Watchmen with Nat King Cole's Unforgettable
Would've been better to use a Kenny G song like "Silhouette"
This technique is obvious used a lot. Another thread mentions the end of Dr. Strange love's We will meet again while the nukes exploding, and the John Woo movie's Somewhere over the rainbow over a gun fight.

The best destruction of human desire hands down. Watching the characters build their own undooing is the highlight of this film
There is nothing I love more then reading the comments of all the other people who stumbled on this and instantly were like "holy shit I remember this". I saw this forever ago and thought it was like a dream or something l, crazy how some stuff just stick with you.
TheGNomad YES I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME

That part always makes me cry. Such a great scene.
+butters742 They should have kept Tima alive during the end of the movie :/.
+Anson Vaker
There is a post credit image of Tima seen through the window of a robot repair shop. But yeah, I wish there was more than that.
"You are Terminated"
I know right I watched this when I was 6-7 years old ad I still cry o it now that I'm 16 years old
exseed 77 I'm 29 and still crying

Saw this movie back in 2007 and this ending has stuck with me this whole time. Such a powerful and beautiful ending.
In the credits you can see that Kneichi was able to rebuild her and they work a shop together
I don't even remember it. The last time i remember seeing it was in 2007 when i was about 3 or 4 but was the ending something like an old man told him "she was a robot and it was bound to happen she can't love you" or something?? That's one of the only parts was is still engraved into my mind
日本のアニメ史上個人的にはジブリに並ぶかそれ以上の傑作と言ってもおかしくはない作品。これほど素晴らしい作品を理解できなかった当時の人間はどうなってんだ。。
同感です。当時のレビューサイトでも酷評だらけでした。手塚作品でハードルが高かったのと、パクりだの何だの言われてましたね…。子供ながらに大好きな映画が貶されて悲しかったのを覚えています。
YES I FOUND MY CHILDHOOD
Edit: 7 years later and people are still discovering, that's great! Keep on keeping on!
You too, huh?
SAME!
me too. I think I turned out this fucked up because of this ending
Seems like a traumatizing childhood
Anyone else rent this movie on a VHS tape? I rented this at my local library lmaoo. That was like 7 years ago.
Isn't it weird that it's such a phenominon that all of us were sleepy or otherwise and we couldn't remember this film?
Maybe, if you were a little diaper kid in 2001. The rest of us were adults. lol
indeed
it should be studied
@@jamesellis33 ok boomer

very specific names or titles do that to people lol

Where did u heard?
how do u now that? :o
In the credits, there's a picture of Kenichi and Tima rebuilt, they also own a robot shop.

Just finished watching it for the first time, and man, the second the music started, my jaw hit the floor. Absolutely incredible ending.
Welcome to the club!
The animation just makes you wonder who the hell could make something as beautiful as this? Surprise. It is not Ghibli.
Byron Mak Ghilbi is trash, that's why they went out of business.
RandalfElVikingo they didn’t go out of business
Ghibli is overrated.
NoMoneyNoHamburger For a reason.
Liber Amans . . . Because Disney distributed most of their films in america so a huge portion of their american fanbase ain't really anime fans and aren't aware that it's not the only animation studio in japan?

crazy how 15 years later this movie still has the best 2d animation out there. The pacing really ruined it for me though.... ill need a second watch to truly appreciate the writing and directing. but the animation and music alone are 100000/10
I agree 100% with you
The writing isn't any good sadly, but the animation and directing makes it worth a watch at least

Not the director, but Sony in America did. It's still present in the Japanese version.
@@Feyangel23 Yup, just watch after the credits and you'll see the pic of them in front of "Kenichi and Tima's Robot Company"
It was her time.
This scene still gets me choked up, man.
All of these years later & this is still such a beautiful movie
My childhood right here.. probably one of the best movies ever made, god this scene made me cry.
Look at that quality of animated writings. It's mind-blowing.
SFIT2000 well you have the guy who did akira and who also wrote the comic. So very good quality
この作品は絶対に忘れない、
underrated movie
@Your local Stranger how could you say that to him/she
Quite a masterpiece of a movie
The shot of Tima being pulled up, with only one side of her face displayed, could be one of the loveliest shots in the history of cinema.
I remember watching this really late at night on Cartoon Network, but I've always thought it was a dream. Glad to see many others with the same nostalgia.
Had this on DVD when it was released but I long lost it. Man oh man this ending still hits hard. The timing for this sequence is what does it for me. Absolutely Perfect! People may give it crap for the CG that was used but..dude...This is still a classic in my Opinion. Still gets me teary.
For more than 10 years, this movie still affects me so much.
Specially when Tima remembers, but there are certainly some other moments during this part, which are really strong.
懐かしい。
今のアニメーションにはない独特の雰囲気が大好きな作品
もっと沢山の人に見て貰いたい。
Remember watching this on hbo late at night after waking up . And I always thought it was a dream, every once in awhile it always come backs to me out of nowhere
This reminds me of the ending to Dr. Strangelove where they end with a bunch of nukes going off set to "we'll meet again"
Yeah Stanley Kubrick liked using soundtrack dissonance in his films. The other famous example is "singing in the rain" in A Clockwork Orange. My personal favorite is Komm Susser Todd in End of Evangelion.
Or the John Woo movie with Somewhere over the rainbow song set to gun violence...forgot the name of the movie.
@@fairfeatherfiend Face Off is the movie, a kid is listening to it via headphones whilst a shootout is occurring around them
Oh man, how did I forget about this film? It came out when I started high school and I was OBSESSED with it. I love the core of the story between Kenichi and Tima for the same reasons I love Let The Right One In/Let Me In. It's a great story about young love and the fact that it's an epic Sci-Fi film is just icing on the cake. I was so engrossed by this film that I spent that entire school year creating my own version of the film in comic form. Wish I still had that notebook. Anyway, glad I rediscovered this classic.
Do you have a comic?
Andrew Gallagher Love that film as well! Have you read the book? The book is really stellar, too, and has tons of ambience ✨
The first time I saw this movie was when I was 6 years old in the very early 2000. It was quite a trippy experience, I remember I was left shaken for the rest of day after seeing that final scene.
Same , and never forget the mixed feeling between a happy song and a tragic scene
@@drumultabereim5 well, when i was a kid for me it was just a happy song
All these years I thought Tima was gone only to find out that there is an epilogue picture showing her to be rebuilt and running a robot shop alongside Kenchi. I was finally happy. I mean, it's a bit silly to feel for an artificial being in a fictional but the ending still got to me because it portrayed such overwhelming emotions.
When music and image is in perfect unison.
I never cease to cry when this scene happens. I wanted Kenichi to save Tima so badly even though I understand why he couldn't. One of the most beautiful scenes ever created.
This is one of the very first movies that allowed me to feel desperation, specially with this scene (I can't feel emotions properly, so for me it's a huge deal). Nowadays I don't feel much about it anymore, but I must thank it for helping me know what desperation is.
A true masterpiece.
So long since i watched this movie, now i remember why it was so heavily imprinted into me, that and the jazzy feel the soundtrack has.
Why the hell Everybody think that this movie was a dream... It was my dream also, 100 000 people had the same thought?
I also thought it was a dream for years.
Mandela effect
Dawn Betancourt
No
Dawn Betancourt it’s not a mandela effect
Before I rediscovered it a few years ago I also thought it was a dream, strange as that people feel the same way
手塚先生は究極の純粋を描いた。本気でアニメキャラを好きになった頃を思い出す
ティマのことを哀れだと思いつつ守りたくなる女の子の究極形だと思う
I was just thinking of these scene yesterday, but I didn't search for this video. It just appeared in my feed. Still powerful.
I will never forget the day I first saw this anime. It's been 6 years, but it's still one of my favorites. It is unique and inimitable. I'm ready to listen to this song every day, remembering the finale of the anime.
Tima, you're a robot, but you have a soul.
After all these years, I FINALLY FOUND IT!!
I remember watching this movie as a kid and it completely broke my heart in a million pieces. I cried all the times I watched. Now I'm 20 and I don't know if it'll have the same effect on me now since it's been over a decade but we'll see
stephany nope Did it?
stephany nope im also curious if it did
+stephany nope same as u ..now im 24 and i watch it in 2001 that i was 10 ...i stil feel the same sensations ...tima was real !
First time I watched this movie, soon as the song started I just applauded and began tearing up. Such a perfect song to use, it fit like a glove and now whenever I hear the song it reminds me of this scene.
Jesus Christ. I just watched the movie and I’m literally shook. I think I have a whole new level of respect for anime now... this movie is a masterpiece✨
I remember being completely flabbergasted by this ending, and not having ANY idea how to feel about it.
I was completely blindsided.. had to watch the movie again just to figure out how to feel.
Amazingly 2D and 3D animation effects combined with full computer graphics animation.
Confession time: This was the first moment as a child I remember something making my cry like I just lost a loved one, powerful shit.
AHHH, it's too powerful!!! this movie, and this scene in particular, *destroyed* me as a kid. i wanted nothing to do with the movie for a long time...
until finally, i thought it must be a great movie to have made me feel so strongly, so i watched it again.
it's incredible..
this really made me cry when i first watched it on tv.
THE FEELS ARE SO REAL
This is one of the most beautifully animated scenes in any movie I have ever seen.
I finally watched this after a couple of years of owning the Blu-ray. So beautiful to watch.
I remember first seeing a DVD of this movie in a shop, but another DVD was blocking the "opolis" and half the "p." My dumb brain thought "Wow there's an animated Metroid movie?! How I never...oh."
Some time later I saw it was scheduled to play on TV. Animation and action still holds up, and the soundtrack is a masterpiece.
20 years later and this movie still looks amazing
I've been searching for this scene and now i found it.. Thanks😭😭😭
Best examples of soundtrack dissonance.
I remember seeing this in theaters in 2001... it was a small independent theater that usually did Indie films or foreign small time movies. The whole audience was silent at the end.
You have no idea how excited I was when I finally learned the name of this movie. I have vague memories of seeing it for the first time on Cartoon Network back in 2006 - 2007. Then I saw it again on CineMAX right in this scene, but I changed the channel because I was scared by how Tima moves her fingers and chokes Kenichi, only to put it back right in the final shot with the radio. It wasn't until I was in high school that I finally found out what it was called thanks to RUclips, and since then it's been my favorite anime movie of all time. I love the story, the animation, the music, the characters, and I especially love the relationship between Tima and Kenichi, and discovering the photo of the post-credits scene filled me with joy for the two of them. Years later I was finally able to read Tezuka's manga and realize how different they are, but I don't care. I love this movie with all my soul.
I know the song was probably chosen primarily for Tima’s feelings about Kenichi, but I can’t help but also feel a pang of sympathy for Rock and his adoration of his father. Rock loves his father so deeply that he’d rather bring the Ziggurat down and kill them all than suffer the indignity of his father being killed by rebellious robots. His refusal to let Tima rule is born not only of jealousy but because he believes his father is the only person great enough to rule. Despite the fact that his father loathes him, Rock still “can’t stop loving” him, as the song goes. It’s really tragic.
What a wonderful film.
😭👍
Yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that the song is, partially, about Rock and his wish to be loved by his "father"
This scene made me tear up when I first watched it. Beautiful movie
Saw this as a child twenty years ago...how time flys, it feels like yesterday 😭
This scene really hit me HARD when I was younger. I used to watch it over and over again.
Remember watching this on cartoon network about 14 or so years ago when I was 7 or 8. This scene and film aways had some sort of effect on me and to see it again now is surreal.
Haven't seen this anime in 14 years. I watch this single clip and i'm in tears.
Such a haunting scene. This has been burned into my brain since my childhood, and I think that feeling was worth it. Showing my kids this movie one day too.
I've never seen this movie but it seems like one of those movies you remember like it was a dream.
I haven't watched this film in years. Now I'm teary eyed. 😥
One of the best endings ever.
StageLined Productions Should be added to the "Top 20 saddest anime endings"
I remember watching this a long time ago but couldn’t remember the name, I was talking to my friend recently about this movie and explaining how it made me so sad, I’m glad I found it again
Til this day this scene still pulls my heart strings 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😔😔😔😔
'Sing the song, children." Amen.
For more than 12 yeas I have been looking for this moment until now! reading some of the comments I saw that many people was thinking exactly like me, about how this movie touched our feelings when we were only childs... great movie and great ending!
