The AMP Reviews Metropolis (2001)

<p>On this episode, Cat and Joe discuss and review Rintaro’s 2001 cult classic sci-fi-meets-1920s-Art-Deco film, Metropolis. A blast from the past, and a blast from the future, this film is based on the 1949 manga of the same name, illustrated by Osama Tezuka (of AstroBoy fame), who very VERY loosely based his manga on the 1927 German expressionist sci-fi drama film by Fritz Lang (also of the same name). The connection is very tenuous, but still, it annoyed the Germans enough for them to rename it ’Robotic Angel’ when the manga was released there. So, close enough?</p> <p>Available to purchase on DVD / Blu-Ray wherever Anime is sold.</p>
