Agozer Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Metropolis is great. Well worth your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) I like Fritz Lang's Metropolis, does this anime have any relation to it? Like a homage or anything? Edited September 27, 2004 by GryphonKlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I like Fritz Lang's Metropolis, is this anime have any relation to it? Like a homage or anything?If I'm not mistaken the Anime metropolis is based on Fritz Lang's Metropolis. I haven't seen the original Metropolis, so I can't comment that.

Skythe Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I already saw Metropolis on TV. I think it was STARZ. Plus the Cowboy Bebop movie. Big deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiWinner22 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I would rather buy the DVDs for $15 than wait an entire year for all of them to show. But, for those who can't, this is a good deal. Anon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeval Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) True that the DVDs are easier for fans, but I like this because it exposes them to people who may not have seen them. I haven't given Inayusha a chance yet (mostly because it looks at first glance like every other sword-wielding fuzzy-eared anime out ther, none of which I'm big on), but Cowboy Bebop and Metropolis, from what I've heard, could edumacate some people about the potential of anime (and animation in general) as a medium for serious storytelling. I'm all about preaching the virtues of alternative media. Edited September 27, 2004 by Daeval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately, among others, I was just reffering to those that Cartoon Network had picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) Anyone remember how back in the day the only channel on TV that would ever show anime was the Scifi Channel and that too only on Saturday mornings? And they'd alternate the same ones every weekend. Talk about the stone age. Edited September 27, 2004 by GryphonKlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 In Canada, there was only 2 stations that showed anime at the time. Teletoon(which would reintroduce me into Anime with view discretion ones) and YTV. Now if I get a dish or digital cable, I can see more o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
