Metropolis, sans Superman

Huh. So I finally got around to watching Metropolis--the 2002 anime film, not Fritz Lang's 1927 opus. Interesting and well-crafted film, even if it never engaged me fully. In fact, it took me two nights to watch it, because I fell asleep halfway through the first night. I think part of the problem was that the look of the amimation kept making me feel like I was watching a Bakshi movie. Only one with a coherent plot and without that damn rotoscope.
