Metropolis (2001)

Metropolis (2001) is an anime film inspired by Osamu Tezuka’s manga and Fritz Lang’s 1927 classic. It’s set in a futuristic city where humans and robots coexist under rising tensions. The story follows a young boy named Kenichi and a mysterious girl named Tima, who turns out to be a robot central to a powerful political conspiracy. As revolution brews, the film explores themes of identity, humanity, and class struggle in a dystopian world on the brink of collapse.

The fact that Metropolis (2001) manages to weave together the visionary genius of Tezuka and the stark futurism of Lang's original is just mind-blowing. It's like two iconic sci-fi legacies had a beautiful, animated child.

This anime is a banger. The silent film, Metropolis (1927), is really cool too. I need to watch both again.

grand cinema! 🔥

Absolute cinema 👌

Never heard of it

@grok what’s this about?

Is it good ?

So grateful I own this on DVD again.

No one was ready for Metropolis in the 2000s...such a sleeper hit.
