There are more similarities between the lines than I care to fully recall... but the "robots" near the very end during the second coup in the movie looked like warforged! At least in their faces. AND I understand the movie was originally a manga in the 1950's. That movie was more pulp and noir than anything I've seen in a while so... Coincidences? PS I HIGHLY recommend this movie to all you ebbie fans, just be sure you think magic rather than science and it fits so well! PPS I personally loved the jazzy music to it, might have to buy the soundtrack! PPPS That foreign detective was such a master inquisitive it was awesome, and seeing him work with a 'forge... *ahem* I mean robot Master Inquis... *ahem* I mean detective was inspiring!
Alathayn 06-08-04, 05:24 PM	Yeah, I've allways thought that the style of those manga/anime I like felt allot like Eberron as well. Action points and shifter-shifting (hehe) really got me into the idea of a animeish char.
Harmony's Sorrow 06-08-04, 05:32 PM	This one in particular could so easily have been a Sharn quest series. Anyway, yeah! My top 5 animated films for eberron are currently: Metropolis (Sharn'ish) Wicked City (An incursion from Xoriat?) Twilight Of The Dark Master (Bring the KotSF VS the EmClaw!) X (Kalashtar indeed!) Vampire Hunter D: Blood Lust (Gray area alignments!)

N'wah 06-08-04, 05:50 PM	Oh, come on... Xoriat's got tentacles... hentai's got tentacles... that's what we love, right? The tentacles? I'm with you, Whitey. Not a big fan of the Wicked City.
The White Sorcerer 06-08-04, 05:52 PM	Originally posted by Harmony's Sorrow What did I miss? Does the Wicked City anime you're talking about involve lots of tentacles going into places they should never be allowed to go? If yes, then that's reason enough never to mention it.
Harmony's Sorrow 06-08-04, 05:55 PM	Okay okay sheesh... so cut that scene or two, that's not what I was thinking anyway! I thought it was cool though, like when the 2 agents were by the fence near the airport, and they got attacked... classic... a planar anomoly from a plane becoming coterminous resulting in boundaries of energy and every nasty thing you ever wanted to hack, slash, stab, freeze, burn, dissolve, whatever? That's GREAT stuff! And of course you gotta be careful cause just maybe they want to stab you! With tentacles! In places you wish they wouldn't! I mean we ALL know the illithid breeding/feeding methods!
Ezekiel 06-08-04, 06:37 PM	I'd have to agree. And either way, it's a fabulous movie! :) Sidenote: Yes, it's based on an old manga. But that, in turn, is of course based on the original movie by Fritz Lung, from 1927. Which all sci-fi fans, if not everyone, should watch. PS You wouldn't happen to own a copy of the Necronomicon or some such forbidden tome? You seem to have a disturbing fascination with tentacles... in which case, I can only recommend this link (http://www.cthulhulives.org/toc.html), especially the two albums they've released. "Freddy the redbrained Mi-Go", from the Solstice album, for instance. Classic. And the horrors of "A Shoggoth on the Roof" (parody of "fiddler") cannot be described with words.
