Ross Anthony
While Akira's blood splattering is over the top for me, I did enjoy the surreal, and the interesting complicated departure from the often-oversimplified good vs. evil. [More]

Haha, he thinks Steamboy is 'better', because it's not violent.

Stick to Ghibli like most Westerners, Ross.

Yea ... Steamboy was less violent. Thats why I think The Godfather 1, 2 and 3 sucks so bad because they are so violent compared to Steamboy ... Same as No Country for old men, what a ****ty movie so violent compared to steamboy ... Eastern Promises, did you saw that AWFULL movie ? So more violent than Steamboy !!! Who gave Oscars to those movies ? They absolutelty dont know what they are talking about and they never saw Steamboy for sure to give an Oscar to all those violent movies ...

It wasn't a simplified good vs evil. This is one of the worst reviews I have seen. You know what go back to your small minded world. At the time this movie came out it was mind blowing animation and had a great story. You are lame anthony.

Most ghibli movies are actually pretty amazing, IMO.
I do strongly disagree with this Anthony guy though.
