This is Katsuhiro Otomo's follow up to his anime masterpiece Akira. It looks really good and some of it is quite stunning from the trailer and clips.
Sony says the release date is 3/18/05. I just hope it comes here so I can see it in a theater. I like the subject matter, as I have stated before I enjoy the whole steam punk thing.
The US version is dubbed and features Anna Paquin (who plays the lead which is a boy), Alfred Molina, and Patrick Stewart. I found it funny that at the Sony site the clips were in Japanese with subtitles.
