Back To Index Roujin Z
 Barnes & Noble Katsuhiro Otomo, the Japanese animation superstar responsible for the anime smash hit Akira, scores again with this animated feature for adults -- a fascinating combination of science fiction, explosive action, earthy humor, and biting social criticism that manages to make the subject of health care for the elderly entertaining and exciting. An infirm old man, Takazawa, becomes the unwilling guinea pig for a revolutionary new machine -- an atomically powered, computerized robot that ministers to every possible bodily need of the aged by tapping into their subconscious. When the machine, inhabited by the spirit of Takazawas dead wife, turns into a monster run amuck, the old mans sexy, spunky young nurse Haruko must come to the rescue. Otomo imbues his animated characters with amazingly vivid, detailed personalities -- watch for the group of randy old computer hackers in the nursing home. And he uses noir shadows and striking angles against gorgeous, futuristic backdrops to stunning effect. Visually inventive and thematically daring, Roujin-Z will delight animé devotees and newcomers alike. Kryssa Schemmerling Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
