Metropolis:

Beautifully animated with surprisingly smooth integration of both 2D cel animation and 3D CG environmental aspects, Metropolis is so clearly a labor of love — not only to the source material that it takes its plot from (the 1949 manga of the same name), but to Tezuka’s work in general — it features characters featured in plenty of his other work and there are plenty of references for fans to catch, but it’s also plenty enjoyable with no knowledge of anything he’s ever written. The jazzy soundtrack is immaculate, the character animation especially is top notch, the backgrounds are beautifully illustrated, and its writing and themes of transhumanism run deep especially for a movie with such a short runtime.

Whisper of the Heart:

Whisper of the Heart is my favourite Ghibli movie, partly due to the adorable romance, but mostly because of it's excellent portrayal of how it feels to be a writer, especially early in the journey/as a teen. Also it just has such comfy vibes.

At SDCC I bought a cel of Rock Holmes from Metropolis. I saw this film when I was about 8, and it's what truly sparked my lifelong passion for art and Tezuka manga. It's amazing being able to own part of a film that's made such a huge impact on my life. I included a screenshot of the sequence it's from above. It's not my exact cel, but you can see the overall scene it contributes to.

I'm going to print a background for it eventually, but for now I'm glad it's preserved safely in a frame. In an age where many animes are colored digitally, painted cels like this are only going to become more rare. Older cels especially will degrade over time if not properly stored...

The Read More below is me rambling on about the the film and Tezuka in general, so click that at your own peril...

I really loved rewatching it with my friend recently too. And then a couple days after that I also made my husband watch it lol. It's great being able to share something that impacted you so much with people you're close to. The film is still as beautiful as I remember it. In addition to art, this film also sparked my fascination with stories of sentient robots/creatures, themes surrounding liminal existence, and what it means to be human (or more accurately personhood). This would thus lead to my love for media like MMX, Kikaider, Devilman, etc.

By chance at SDCC, my friend also found out someone he knew was selling an english edition of the Metropolis manga. It's been out of print for over a decade and is a collector's item at this point, so I went ahead and bought it. Now I own the book the film is based on too...

I also learned recently some of Tezuka's english-translated mangas are actually being published again, including some that never had official english releases before. We were at Barnes & Noble just browsing manga for fun when I spotted Apollo's Song, then several other works. In particular, I'm hoping Black Jack will be getting a special rerelease. While Metropolis was the very first Tezuka film I ever watched, Black Jack was the very first Tezuka manga I ever read. Regardless, I now have a growing collection of Tezuka manga in physical form. For Black Jack, ideally I want to own the volumes with chapters related to Kei Kisaragi and Rock (particularly Nadare for the latter). But on ebay those out-of-print volumes sell anywhere from 80$-130$... One day...

Anyway I've rambled a lot now lol. The last thing I'll say is this big Tezuka binge I've been on has helped keep me motivated while I relearn some foundational art skills. I'm happy I get to share it with some of my closest friends too. Soon, I will become even more powerful...

Night on the Galactic Railroad:

Two anthropomorphic Italian kittens go on a trippy railroad adventure across the stars that definitely isn't some kind of Buddhist metaphor about enlightenment, death, and how to live. It's weird and atmospheric and aesthetically interesting and sometimes scary. It's *that* kind of kid's movie. And you can just TELL it's based on a classic children's novel, the vibes are off the charts.

Metropolis:

Beautifully animated with surprisingly smooth integration of both 2D cel animation and 3D CG environmental aspects, Metropolis is so clearly a labor of love — not only to the source material that it takes its plot from (the 1949 manga of the same name), but to Tezuka’s work in general — it features characters featured in plenty of his other work and there are plenty of references for fans to catch, but it’s also plenty enjoyable with no knowledge of anything he’s ever written.
