Other than that, the movie is superb. Up until the blob moments start getting out of hand, I think it's a great movie.

In all the time that I've watched anime, I've never actually seen a fleshy blob apart from the one in this movie. Could you name some of the many anime movies where there is one?
Also, Tetsuo wasn't as much an evil monster as he was a regular unpopular kid with superpowers that he never should've had.
Hey, I found
a post in a forum that explains it: "Essentially Tetsuo was gaining power too fast for him or his body to control. Also remember the guy needed drugs that the government provided to control his power. Since his powers were growing exponentially, Tetsuo's body had to grow to control the growing power inside of him. Hence why he became the big blob."
Anyway, glad you liked it too! [img]smile.gif[/img]

That's a shame. So, did you fall asleep because the movie didn't interest you or because you started watching it at a bad time? Might I remind you that IMO, the english dub isn't nearly as good as the Japanese version? [img]smile.gif[/img]
As for me, I watched through almost all of the movie eyes wide open.
