"If, with no prior knowledge, you were told that a film called Steamboy had been booked for the next week at Landmark's Ken Cinema, you'd be forgiven for imagining a torrid tale of forbidden passion swirling around the hunky young towel attendant at a Turkish bath. But no."

Follow Ups:
..try the original: Ghost in the Shell.In comparo, Matrix was dumbed down, diluted and pre-chewed for Western consumption.
Previous poster mentioned Wings of Honneimaise, same director also did one called Mahoromatic, which has turned into my favorite anime ever. Warped, perverted, funny, thought-provoking. Has it all.
So many t00ns, not enough time..
Check out Wings of Honneamise for the same flavor (turn of the last century era spaceflight) The same director did Akira in the late eighties (his previous movie), which is considered one of the best animated films ever made.Also check out the films of Hayao Miyazaki, the Steven Speilberg of Anime (except ALL his movies are good :) Try Laputa: Castle In The Sky, Spirited Away, and his new Howl's Moving Castle for more Jules Verne inspired stuff.
