Escaflowne & Metropolis Hit US Big Screens Friday
darketernal writes "Escaflowne is appearing in theaters nationwide on the 25th, depending on your location. Rated PG-13. Here is a Yahoo! Review."
If you've seen Escaflowne in japanese, you probably know that
its a pretty cool show, and while its not one of my all time favorites,
if the big screen release gets anywhere near me, I'll be there.
Perhaps even bigger news is that
the mega anime film hit
Metropolis is
being release at the same time.
... we'll finally be able to get some Region 1 anime without hunting for six months?
Finally a chance to enjoy quality anime on the big screen. I first saw Escaflowne as a 30-minute serial on a local TV network... it was good enough to catch my interest, but man, they really butchered it with the editing. This movie is going to rock!
As much as I enjoyed the Escaflowne movie, I still think the series is a lot better. The movie changed a lot of things, not always for the better. The new character designs weren't great, although I did like Hitomi more in the film, mainly because she had more of a purpose than she does in the series.
:D
My problem really is that they neutered Merle in the movie, and almost neutered Allen. These two were my favourite characters from the series. I did like the fact they gave Merle a background though.
Of course, the movie is an excuse to listen to Maaya Sakamoto's beautiful voice for 90-odd minutes.
Then again, I can listen to it for 13 hours if i watch the series.
life is a canvas/and the paint is hope and promise/the world is ours/no one can ever take it from us.
New York, Chicago, and a couple of west coast cities isn't really nationwide, is it?
- A.P.
"Remember when the U.S. had a drug problem, and then we declared a War On Drugs, and now you can't buy drugs anymore?"
So where are the locations? I see nothing in the Yahoo review that talks about how limited or not the release is.

Oh man! I'm gonna have to be the first one in my town to see that in the theater! I think this is the greatest movie ever made! Hey, I've only seen it about 10 times, but it couldn't hurt to see it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
Actually, I'm just kidding. I think this movie is really poorly made. The director must have been sleeping when they filmed this. Seriously, the dialog seemed "fake", the sound effects were horrible... In short, this movie is a waste of time, and I strongly suggest against going to the theater, and spending a bunch of money on
- tickets,
- popcorn,
- nachos,
- drinks,
- candy,
- and whatever else you normally spend all your money on in the movie theater,
because that would be a big waste of money if this is the movie you choose to go to the theater in order to see it. When it comes down to it, I think there was only one movie ever made in the entire world that is worthy of being displayed on the big screen, and that movie was How the West was Won . It was the most incredible movie ever made. Escaflowne & Metropolis remind me of How the West was Won every time I see them.Oh well.
...cares?
Too bad it isn't coming to Canada, I would have
liked to see it dubbed in english... at least I
can rent the Subtitled version tho.
Since when was "Metropolis" an Anime film?
I admit that I'm not deeply into Anime, but I've seen my fair share, including Bastard, Tyler, Utena, and other random stuff. Therefore, I feel comfortable with saying that the only well-known MOVIE called "Metropolis" isn't animated. It's still incredible, even in black and white, and it's definitely highly rated.
But if slashdot (which pretends to be a news outlet of some kind) actually wants to make any sense even to the people who read it, a footnote is in order here explaining what "Metropolis" is for the vast majority of us who only know about the much more well-known movie by the same name.
pb Reply or e-mail; don't vaguely moderate.
In my opinion, they shouldn't even bother releasing any anime movies until they decide to show Miyazaki's movies. It's like releasing ST Voyager without ever showing ST Nextgen!
Anyone in the SF area know where it's playing? The movie's site lists theaters, and there is no entry next to SF. It takes me about 3 hours to get to SF, but it's the closest city on the list.
Surely, Microsoft can find a better use for its funds than... Oh, wait. That is off-topic.
OK. Cute Japanese cartoons. Cute Japanese cartoons that are somehow cooler than anyone else's cute cartoons.
Did they make them using Linux? Do they appeal to Lawrence Lessig as he whiles away the hours in the Supreme Court? Phew, at least they're not made by AOL/Time-Warner...
I wonder when, if ever, the movie would hit Canada. I have a passing interest in anime, and while I'm far too lazy to go and find a place that I could rent/buy the stuff, I love watching it on TV. But having it in the theatre would be just damn cool.
on one page (dont remember where) they were saying that Metropolis was NOT based off of the 1926 Fritz Lang Silent Masterpiece, but off of the Japanese Magna (1949) of the same name... that may be the case, BUT I wonder where Osamu Tezuka got HIS inspiration from...
It probably wont hit any theaters around here, but at least the video will be available in May...

Why bother.
Well I do not know the show/movie, yet I am a poser fan of japanese modern animated art.
As a linux user I went to the multimedia section to see some teasers. Hmmm... wonder if windows media works with linux? click...
Nope.. sorry, not using Solaris, whaddya stupid? Oh.. Hey.. MS, hows that VBScript treating ya?

Didn't I just kick and ban you?
Lo0o0o0o0o0o0oL! Stupid newbie.
Yeah I know the movie starts with a bunch of terrorists blowing up a Martian colony, but everyone who's seen the fansub that's floating around says it kicks ass, and the series is certainly one of the best anime series I've seen. It's easily in Evangelion and Lain's league.
Besides, you can't NOT like CowBe...it's got Radical Edward!!!
Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power multiplied.
I saw Metropolis on opening day and the theatre was half empty - and the film was only in theatres for around a month after that.
Metropolis was a bit of a letdown. The art direction was mostly just ugly for the first 45 minutes of the movie, and the animation quality was inconsistent from character to character and scene to scene. The use of computer animation made for some beautiful backgrounds, but they were often completely incongruous with ugly hand drawn foregrounds. The last 30 minutes were wonderful, though, and it was worth seeing for that alone.
It's beautifully animated and full of exciting fight scenes. The big story, though, with the prophesy and crazy powerful people doing crazy things, is just plain stupid, with really overdone and tiresome religious/philosophical angst.
What it reminds me of is The Matrix, which I enjoyed watching once just for the cool special effects, but didn't feel like watching again. I feel almost exactly the same about the Escaflowne movie. I'm not going to spoil it, but there were things that made me cringe nearly as much as the "they're using us for batteries" scene.
The series is better (at least what I've seen of it), but the movie's definitely worth watching for anyone who can happily sit and admire beautiful animation without being bothered too much by an unintentionally ridiculous story.

Hollywood, CA (November 11, 2001) - Bandai Entertainment will launch Escaflowne into theatrical release on Friday, January 25, 2002 within top U.S. and Canadian markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Vancouver, opening the eagerly anticipated anime film prior to a February, 2002 national roll-out.
Honestly, like we're going to believe that anyone really cares about anime. Stop wasting our time with your cartoon stories, Taco!
on DVD, and Im not talking the crappy verion you can pick up for 9.99 on Amazon either

Slashdot (to MPAA): You fucking fascists. We hate you.
MPAA: But look at these shiny colors!
Slashdot: Oooh! How much?
I'm serious. How many times do you have to see little Japanese school girls in little skirts doing "crotch shots" (see Sailor Moon for examples) to see that these cartoons are intended for pedophiles and monkey spanking zitfaces.
I miss living in Washington, D.C. soooo much. There are little theatres all over the place there, 25 maybe 30 seats to a screen. It's like a private showing. And they get all these great small-release films. I'm sure this release of Metropolis will find its way there in a month or so.
So what do I do? I move to Minot, North Dakota to get married. There are 13 screens in the entire town, and five of them were showing Harry Potter for 7 weeks, three more were showing Monsters, Inc for 6 weeks. WTF?
Everything you've ever heard about North Dakota is true.
obviously no deficiencies vs. no obvious deficiencies
This seems to be becoming a trend. Out here in western mass, a local theatre ran a print of "Spriggan" for less than a week, and I think very few people showed up. I hope more anime films come out this week (and all over, too) but I can't blame theatre owners for looking at the numbers and deciding that another theatre for Riding In Cars with Boys would make more money.
I don't see why movies like this get major release. I saw the Escaflowne movie a year ago off a bootleg fansub. In all seriousness, it was not that good. The story doesn't fit well into 90 minutes with that many characters and events... I'm sure there must be something of more substance from Japan that could be released here, because the movie is remarkably underwhelming.
-MrFreak
I've seen Escaflowne in the theatres twice (both at anime cons).
I've been searching for the showtimes for over a week and they STILL haven't listed it at http://www.movietickets.com or http://www.moviefone.com
And it's the day before it's premiere...
This is turning out to be worse of a release than Princess Mononoke. I mean... even the Canadian theatre in Vancouver has the listings. Those Canadians get everything... =P
note I am not bashing escaflowne because I'm a hardcore anime fan and I really like escaflowne the movie
however my real comment is that I don't know if that anime is really being presented to the public that it's unknown to, sure escaflowne is a great series and movie, but what about Ah My Goddess the Movie, a fairly unknown anime in the US, cept in Samgoody stores...
Or such other obscure anime that has a following online, but rairly are they able to communicate with other anime fans in person. there are so many good specials and series out there, but they don't get watched because the networks decided that they need to kill the plot by cutting scenes and screwing up translations. the massive amount of following around Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke) after its big release is one of the only ways a show seems to get following, because the majority of people won't shell out for the dvd's cause they may not like them and the networks are to scared to show them
Funny, I just read this post as I bought my copy of Metropolis DVD today in Kinokuniya bookstore in San Francisco. They even let you have a pin of one of the hero. This version is Japanese (not region 1) and without English subtitles (there may be I am not sure) and it plays beautifully with VideoLan+DeCSS plugins on my AMD box.
For those of you who are waiting for the release on DVD with English subtitles, and bitching at the US being still centralized around a few spots only (the ones with an Asian population big enough to make the release of the movie worth, all according to these idiots who own theaters), let me tell you that it is so-so, not so good. The story is ok but I was expecting way better from 2 super stars put together to make this anime. So don't be too mad, ok?
PPA, the Japanese girl next door.
-- I feel better now. Thanks for asking.
Anybody know if it's playing in the Twin Cities area? I'm a fan and I want to see this movie.
This sig isn't original enough, it's time to come up with something witty...
According to today's Morning Edition article on it, Tezuka was inspired partly by seeing some stills from Lang's movie--there's no indication whether he actually saw the movie itself, but he did write his story based on similar themes.
Note that there is a trailer for the anime Metropolis in the trailers section of the first disc of the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within DVD. It looks pretty impressive to me.

It may be "interesting" but it is flat out WRONG... since when is Metropolis Anime... how about now? (at least since 2001 when it was released in Japan) read the story...
Disclaimer: I used to be--and mostly remain--very much not an anime fan, due mostly to the art style of most animes. However, I've been 'turned on' through friends to a few abolutely stunning stories that happen to be conveyed using anime as a medium.
:o) The story is huge, complicated, and very deep, but for those who have no idea what the anime is about, perhaps reading this post will help.
Vision of Escaflowne comes in two flavors: series and movie. I'll talk mostly about the series, since I don't want to give out any spoilers.
Escaflowne tells the story of a 15 year old named Hitomi, a athletic Japanese highschool student who also happens to have a strange talent for 'hunches.' This comes out in her skill at foretelling the future using ordinary tarot cards. One day, when trying to break her speed record in the 100 yard dash, she has a strange vision that ends up dragging her into a strange alternate world called Gaea. Gaea is a land somewhere 'in space' out beyond the earth and the moon that has something to do with the sunken kingdom of Atlantis (to say more would ruin it). It is populated mostly by humans, along with many types of half-human-half-beast people. Although Gaea is by and large peaceful, when Hitomi arrives the entire land is plunged into brutal war, country by country, by a Gaean realm called the Zaibach Empire. The results of this war will determine the fate of Gaea.
From here, Hitomi is thrown into a series of adventures that change her outlook on life and most importantly teaches her much about herself. The entire time, she misses her home and wants to go back (Earth is known in Gaea as the 'Mystic Moon') but begins to care about the people she meets. In addition, her fortunetelling skills are mysteriously enhanced and become a major part of her life.
Unfortunately, to say much more about the story would ruin it for the newcomer. The plotline is very deep, and digs into several 'human' concepts such as destiny, fate, and luck. Family and chivalry are also very important and the source of some major themes. In addition, the mystery of lost Atlantis is somehow involved.
Battles in Gaea are fought by huge robots (think Mechwarrior with swords) called 'Guymelefs,' even though the tech level of Gaea is supposedly stea-engine level. These 'guymelefs' are for the most part huge robot samuri, and are very interesting. Although there isn't really 'magic' in Gaea (at least not in the D&D magic-missle-everything style), there is a lot of unexplained natural phenomenon that are harnessed by the locals, such as rocks that levitate--'wandering earth.'
Escaflowne tells an amazing story and is a good introduction to good anime. I won't say much more about the plot (don't want to give too much away), but it will hook you and drag you along for a fantastic ride. The series is 26 episodes long, and basically continues one story.
Other animes you might want to watch if you liked Escaflowne, or don't know if you want to rent/download it and watch it are Cowboy Bebop and Lain. Bebop is the best anime I've ever seen and one of the best stories I've been told in a long time. Lain is disturbing, but brilliant. Still, I would say that Escaflowne is a great place to start in on anime and definitely worth your time. Although it starts slow (at the begining, I wanted to throttle most of the characters), the character development is fantastic, and the story is truly haunting.

I was rather excited at the prospect of an animated Metropolis, only to find out this recent news is about something else.
I know this is Slashdot, but I would still be very surprised to learn that Fritz Lang's Metropolis is lesser known than this anime thing.
Perhaps even bigger news is that the mega anime film hit Metropolis is being release at the same time
Oh, for Christ's sake, that's not the real Metropolis. This is the real Metropolis.
<sigh> All you young pups, just wanting your talkies, their 3 FPS scantily-clad cartoon characters with their monolithic teeth.
Fire and Meat. Yummy.
Let me get this straight:
Sony is evil for supporting DMCA, squashing the mod chip to the play station, and whatever other sins.
But YEA Sony, they bring us Metroplis! Lets give Sony money!
Gosh, what do you think they DO with that money?
Metropolis (the original) was ripped off by Madonna for her "Express Yourself" video. I liked the original much better.
You're using her as bait, Master!
Metropolis has some very beautiful sequences of high-rises exploding and collapsing in slow motion while Ray Charles' "I Can't Stop Loving You" plays gloriously in the background. Great eye candy, but it will leave you with a funny aftertaste in the light of what happened on September 11.

I got the idea that anime was selling well in our (US) theatres. Why are producers only interested in releasing to such a limited area?

I just don't understand the obsession that some people here have with bad Japanese porno. It's not even real porno any more; the artists started drawing clothes on the characters in an attempt to make their drawings more accessible to married men (so their wives wouldn't object). I spent several weeks on leave in Japan while I stationed in Korea. I got tired of seeing "artwork" with grossly disfigured eyes peddled to US soldiers. Please spare us your fetishes.
Would anyone have an idea of when we might see either movie in Minneapolis or anywhere in minnesota for that matter. I'd much rather see them on a big screen rather than on DVD.
In America we are imprisoned by our fear of them.
Pussy.
as a Playstation2 owner hating Nintendo products, I'm awaiting more MATURE stuff. This movie is SOOOO childish, gimme MATURE stuff like La Blue Girl, and other hentai on the big screen. Mmmmmmm... nothing like MATURE stuff to engage my MATURE cravings...
That anime is beginning to get more recognition on the big screen. A lot of people, even with such titles as Akira, Princess Mononoke, and Ghost in the Shell playing in the theatres, still believe that anime is "Just For Kids (TM)." I think most of /. would agree that anime is for everyone across the board. It's a damn shame that most of the great things in anime (albeit somewhat graphic) get butchered to death when they come to the US. One good example of this would be "A Kite." Yes, it's hentai, but it's still worth watching unedited. I managed to get a DivX version of the director's cut. Aside from some of the sex scenes (which some people claim is child pornagraphy, even though all of the girls are in college), it's one hell of a movie. I will definitely be sending my order in to AnimeNation when I get my next paycheck.
/. already know that there are a lot of hidden gems of anime still not leaving Japan. Two animes that I'm anxious to get my hands on are Love Hina (which is out, from what I understand... although I can't seem to order it from anywhere...) and Hellsing (you gotta love that 13mm deagle-style gun). I know there are a ton of other lost gems waiting for the world to find them. The fact that companies are bringing them to the US proves it.

I guess this is one of the few times I'm happy I live in Los Angeles. I can at least drive down and see Metropolis this weekend.

For better or worse, it's your life or your purse...
I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned the amazing soundtrack to the series. Yoko Kanno did an amazing job. Her music helped make Tenkuu no Escaflowne one of my all-time favorite anime series. Maybe I should start a "shadow of doubt" fanclub ;-)
I ate my sig.
That 9.99$ USD copy might be more interesting than you think. First off, in Canada you can buy it at Walmart for 6.88$ CDN new (about 4.20$ USD). Second, it's encoded for region 1 DVD.
I mailed the MPAA about this. See, the prices on DVDs between Canada are within 1 to 5$ of each other numerically, but are way off when you calculate the value straight across -- Canadian DVDs always seem to be cheaper. Why are the prices artificially low?
Then you see things like this movie, released 3 quarters of a century ago in Germany. What point does region coding serve? It's not like any parts of the world are still showing it in theatres. The entire argument of region coding as a means of protecting theatre owners is proved WRONG by little things like this.

I saw it at a film festival last fall, and the story is a sort of typical (based on my limited experience on anime) with simple characters, cybernetics and a massively destructive ending. Nothing special there.
The art, however, is something else. Apparently at least partially computer generated backgrounds of the city, obviosly inspired by the Fritz Lang's Metropolis, are amazing. There are some scenes where the backgrounds really take your breath away, with some of the characters on foreground and huge cog wheels or fish tanks on the background, with carefully considered lighting.
This film is worth seeing because of the art, not the story, and on the biggest screen possible
...except you of course. Adapt or die. Give it up, you can't win.
Escaflowne the series was originally a shoujo manga series, which then became turned into a 26-episode anime run.
Escaflowne the movie was originally a shounen manga series, which became turned into a movie.
That's why the story is different, the people look different, and so on.
The series spends a lot of time on the love story between Hitomi, Van, and Allen, while the movie is about Van's fight.
Each has it's merits, it's just up to you to choose which you like most.

Freedom of Speech?
For those of you who don't know, Escaflowne the movie is considerably different from Escaflowne the television series; people refer to it as an "alternate universe" telling of the story, where Hitomi appears considerably later in Zaibach's war of conquest, and things on Gaia are considerably darker. The most startling difference is that some characters in the movie can use a form of magic, something which did not come up in the series.
Overall, where the series has plenty of humor, political intrigue, romantic subplots and character development, the movie seems to be more for the sake of eye candy than anything else, although the overall "message" seems to be the same. Watch this if you want to see some really cool battles and assassination scenes. Just don't expect it to be anything like the series.
Of course, this is just my opinion. YMMV.

Though Metropolis may be Columbia/Tristar's first anime release, it won't be their last. AnimeOnDVD reported yesterday that the DVD release of Metropolis (expected in March) will come with a special mini-DVD that will contain trailers of Metropolis itself, FF: The Spirits Within, and... Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
/drag/ their friends out to see it, it's that good.
If there's one anime movie that has a good shot of breaking the US market wide open it's Cowboy Bebop. Think about it, they have a ready-made market created by Cartoon Network, and everyone who has ever seen a 572398572th generation fansub (or digisub ^^) will

Actualy I have it up on my webserver right now (so a friend could download it). I could just paste in a URL and you could have it. Sigh. But that would put me over my bandwidth cap ;p
Actualy the opening scene is of jet and spike busting up a convinece stand up. It was pretty intresting.
A little later, there is a huge explosion on a freeway on mars, and every nearby dies of a mysterious disease. That's the introduction to the actual plot of the film, btw.

well if you don't look at the anime icon, i could see how you might be confused. The topic icon generally accompanies the type of story which is being linked to.
Bring back the old version of slashdot.
You missed the point. The anime icon merely indicates the movie is anime. It does not indicate anything about the content of the anime movie 'Metropolis.' The point of confusion is that this is not an anime-version of Metropolis, it is a completely different movie in its own right.
little trivia:
Megumi Hayashibara who does the voice of the femal ranma also did the voive for Pai(3x3 Eyes), Video Girl Ai, and Hello Kitty among many other roles
and Kikuko Inoye (sp?) who does the voice for Kasumi also did Beldandy and the nurse in Ogenki Clinic
so i guess most of these girls are quite multi-talented (unlike the no-talent people they usually recruit to dub anime into english)
I believe sex is highly over rated... unless it involves me
"You missed the point. The anime icon merely indicates the movie is anime. It does not indicate anything about the content of the anime movie 'Metropolis.' The point of confusion is that this is not an anime-version of Metropolis, it is a completely different movie in its own right. "
well there are plenty of movies with the same title, that doesnt mean its a remake of a prior movie. The IMDB has a number of movies like that.
Bring back the old version of slashdot.
The point is that, a least among film buffs, "Metropolis" is a major film. That's why I gave a "what if" example of two films named "Star Wars."
If you think it's fine to talk about an anime film called "Star Wars" without explaining that the film does not have the same plot as the film by George Lucas, then there's really nothing more I can say.
OK, to the uninitiated... Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis has influenced everything from Blade Runner's iconography to Madonna's 'Express Yourself' video to virtually every subsequent film rendition of Frankenstein.
/. about an anime 'Metrpolis,' my immediate assumption is that we're talking about an anime-version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, the world-famous movie by that title.
So when I read on
At the dupont/19th st. theater. As Nelson would say, HA HA!
I wouldn't say he likes Anime in general. Taco just watches whatever he can get his hands on, then copies tenticle rape scenes to his archive of sticky VHS casette tapes. It's actually quite disgusting. Especially when he's getting snotted.
