If you are an avid anime or manga fan and you are looking to see a groundbreaking and original anime, check out "Metropolis." It's a thrilling movie of young love, mystery, and action through a new city where murder and war lurk around every alleyway. Robots are built everyday to slave for mankind and mankind itself is at war within itself. Rebels fight back against a monopolizing totalitarian government and our heroes are stuck in the middle of this war. A young boy, his uncle, and a girl they found untouched and unscarred amid an exploded factory, work their way to solving a missing persons case in the middle of the revolution of man and robot. This movie is an instant classic and you will want to watch it again and again. Images in this movie will stay with you forever; I first watched this movie 6 years ago on cartoon network, when i was in sixth grade. I have now just went on to graduate from high school and one thing i have remembered since that year was this movie, i have always wanted it, and now i own it and i watch it whenever i'm bored and want a great movie. You wont be sorry for this buy, so give it the chance and it wont disappoint.Read full review
If you are a fan of Japanese anime this is a MUST have for your collection. The storyline is as old as Time but still holds fresh and true in the 21st century. I bought this film for my collection because of the beautiful artwork,the detail that was put into each frame,and because of the love story that develops between a young man and an android.I could not find anything wrong with this product. The DVD was factory sealed,the DVD itself was free of any scratches or imperfections.The movie itself is comparable to the original "Metropolis" which is a silent B&W film of the 1920's.The only twist is the use of robots as slave labor and the abuse they suffer at the hands of the humans that created them.If you are looking for a great Japanese Anime movie that you can sit on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn and wonder what is going to happen next to the characters this is the movie for you!Read full review
This is one of my favourite anime releases of all time! The story is made up of original characters with believable/original motivations, and despite the story arc feeling familiar, the characters bring a fresh perspective to the mix. On top of this the quality of the animation is exquisite, as is the quality of the music. For those who are a fan of the manga, you should not expect a similar experience. The movie is very different. Essentially this movie, from my perspective, takes the story arc of the old black & white german Metropolis film, and combines it with the characters of the manga to make its own experience that stands strong alone.
A rather interesting take of a boy trying to save and protect a young android girl, who he believes to be human, from another boy who hates robots. Just another story that tells us mankind is not ready for A.I. due to his own stupidity and prejudice ways.

Metropolis is an amazing film and I was really excited to finally find it for sale somewhere. The DVD was in perfect shape and there were simple options for language and subtitles. I am pleased.
