I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
View MoreIs there a connection between these shorts? Do they take place in the same universe? No. Do they share a theme? No. Are they all sci-fi? Well, two are, but the first one isn't. The first two take place at night, but the last mostly during the day. Nothing on the surface is shared, although they each have a similar style and sense of imagination.There's not much to say about this short movie. The stories are quite simple, although one is silent and vague. They're just quick glimpses into other worlds. But I liked each one of them. They're interesting, mysterious, and well-animated. There are better anthology films, but this is perfectly fine for a watch. If it interests you, give it a shot. There aren't too many movies like it.
View MoreJust like "Robot Carnival" or "Memories", "Neo Tokyo" it's an anthology anime film, that combines some shorts, each one of them with a different animation style. This experimental quality allows the animators of each short to do many things that couldn't be done in mainstream anime, with varying results, but it's always interesting to see something different.My favorite of the three shorts included in this anthology is the first one, "Labyrinth", directed by Rintaro( The same director of the "Metropolis" anime movie that was released in the year 2001) That short is not only beautifully animated, it also had an incredibly imaginative story filled with unpredictable events and a stylish atmosphere, being whimsical and somewhat creepy at the same time. The other two shorts ("The Order to Stop Construction" and "The Running Man") were quite good too, being very well animated, having atypical and fascinating story lines."Neo Tokyo" it's the kind of anime movie that leaves you wanting for more: For me, all the three shorts included in this anthology deserved an entire movie for each one of them.
View MoreSo here's what you wanna do: get about ten people together and rent Heavy Metal and this. now your friends will have already seen Heavy Metal, but it's a safe bet they haven't seen Neo Tokyo. watch Heavy Metal first, it'll get them in the mood, and the right frame of mind for the second course. pop in Neo Tokyo and just watch as their jaws drop! it's a one-two punch that they'll not soon forget!one friend I did this double feature with hadn't seen either. needless to say, he's been catatonic since ;)
View MoreI was lucky enough to obtain this film off an online auctions. And this is my review the film displays three short stories all extremely trippy.The first one involves a girl, a circus, a cat and a mirror and a parade of very odd animals. This one makes you feel like your on acid at one point.The second on is called the running man about a psionic race car driver who pushes his limits. Very Cool.The third one contains probaly the most talking out of all three. itis a grim sardonic comedy about a man who can't stop a robot crew from working. it has a very ironic ending.
