Metropolis: The Forgotten Madhouse Masterpiece

Fritz Lang's Metropolis can be seen as the world's first science-fiction epic. Osamu Tezuka's manga was the true kickstart to his career. In 2001, Studio Madhouse released a new vision of both worlds, and created a stunning feature film that has since been lost to the vaults of anime history. Matthew Roe (@TheCriticlysm) takes a look back at the anime movie, and wants you all to do the same.
