One of the best animated movies ever made

This flick is one of my all-time favorites. The first time I saw it, I was about 15 years old and it completely blew me my mind. Indeed, I had never seen anything like this before and I thought it was just fascinating (Eventually, I also bought the comic-books which I also highly recommend). Indeed, this animated movie was just so well done and it was definitely a milestone when it was made. The whole thing looked great (and still does 20 years later) but, above all, the story was just mesmerizing. I always had a weak spot for those post-apocalyptic features and, in my opinion, even though it is now more than 20 years old, it still feels really modern and edgy. Like 'Blade Runner', this flick could be released nowadays and nobody would realize it has actually been made decades ago. Yeah, it is that good. For many years, they have been trying to make a US live action remake with not much results. On one hand, it could be interesting but on the other hand, most remakes are completely worthless so it's probably a good thing that they just dropped the whole thing (so far). Anyway, it is a great classic and a must see if you are interested in Japanese animation.
