Metropolis, also known as Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis or Robotic Angel (in Germany) is a Japanese manga by Osamu Tezuka published in 1949.
Metropolis is an anime movie released in Japan in 2001 and based on the Metropolis manga created by the late Osamu Tezuka. The movie had an all star production team including renowned anime director Rintaro, Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo as script writer, and animation by Madhouse Studios with conceptual support from Tezuka Productions. The film was given a PG-13 rating by the MPAA for violence and images of destruction.
Metropolis is a story of how important emotions are and how they separate humans from everything else. The movie follows a young boy and his uncle (a private investigator). The story is set in the far future where humans and robots live together, unfortunately not in harmony. Many robots are forced underground and are terminated for entering unauthorized areas. They are more or less servants to humankind. The plot starts to unfold when the boy meets a robot named Tima and they get in all kinds of trouble. Never a dull moment when you've got a robot by your side. Written by ReemeR
