What’s spectacular with Roujin Z is the names behind it; Katsuhiro Otomo, creator of Akira, wrote the story and screenplay, whereas Satoshi Kon (Paprika, Excellent Blue) served as artwork director and set designer. How can it go fallacious figuring out that? Nicely, it would not naturally. Roujin Z is a wild joyride with beautiful animation which in fact appears like a companion piece to Akira. All of the 90’s anime aesthetic you can ask for with that particular mix of science-fiction know-how and early laptop tech with chunky displays and large mechanical keyboards. The plot would not practically attain the depths of Akira, being a a lot smaller movie however there’s nonetheless ambition in its satirical view of older generations and handing them over to robotic beds.
