| WiredPhil HallA brilliantly demented anime masterpiece. |
| User ReviewLance Eso lemme get this straight. . . .you've got a robot bed that takes care of old folks that suddenly goes on a rampage assimilating everything it comes in contact with until it becomes this. . .great. . . . .thing?? SIGN ME UP!! Exactly the kind of anime I love. |
| User ReviewRichard BThe most bizarre film I ever sat through. |
| User ReviewPrivate UOne of the best anime movie I've ever seen. Only seen it once but that was all I needed. I'd give a little toe to own the sucker on dvd. |
| User ReviewWilliam TAn invalid is strapped into a high tech bed which tends to his every need. The bed is essentially a futuristic tomb, but designed for someone still alive. This movie, written by Katsuhiro Otomo, is the high comic-satirical mirror image of Otomo's masterpiece Akira. This movie is not as gruesome or apocalyptic as Akira, but it is deadly on target in its satire of how a late stage capitalist society leans on technology to solve problems of basic humanity and care-giving to an absurd degree. It's not a Luddite film by any means, and the ending is surprisingly bracing, exhilarating, and moving all at the same time. See it. |
| User ReviewPrimus 5Moving, funny, cool and outragous are just some of the words I could use to describe this fine concept of a film. |
| User ReviewEden LI LOVE THIS ANIMATION!!!! Love the story and the black humor ~ I bought the DVD for my animation collection |
| User ReviewDrew SThis is a shining star of a movie among the films by Katsuhiro Otomo. As a fan of all of Katsuhiro's works, I really like this movie. The plot is entertaining and fun, the artwork is gorgeous and so very smooth. (Watch Memories by Katsuhiro, the second episode "Stink Bomb" may look familiar...) Overall, I love this movie, it is outstanding in the anime industry. |
| User ReviewAndrew WWho knew watching an old guy on his death bed could be so fun and filled with explosions?! |
| User ReviewAileen SThis is one of my favorite old-school manga. So funny and strange (as the usually are). Haha, it's all the cat's fault! |
