this movie be visually beautiful and the character design catch the atmosphere of the first manga of osama tezuka san ( they remind me of early disney animation a well . ) the background be do in cgi . still and they fit in nicely with the character . the music be jazzy or dixieland ish a should be for the era that this film be suppose to honor . ok and so much for the good stuff . i be thoroughly disappoint on the absence of any character development besides the obvious difference between evil or good . the only one who get some development be the detective . the rest stay as flat a the paper that pulp be write on and not the paper of a decent manga and mind you . the story do not convince me . i can not relate emotionally to any of the character . if you want some good anime on comparison between robot and human and go see represent ghost in the shell 2 represent innocence ( romaji represent inosensu represent kôkaku kidôtai ) http represent or or www . imdb . com or title or tt0347246 or .
