Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
This is far from Berserk, but I think it's interesting all the same. I've watched both movies several times and was at a loss at which one I preferred more/thought was a better movie. I decided to conduct a trial experiment on how I would judge future animes to come. Over the course of one week, I watched each movie 3 times total, 2 times sober 1 time while I was high. The results were as follows:
Metropolis is the clear winner. Ghost in the Shell was the early favorite because of its action and familiar anime style, but each time I watched Metropolis, I got something new outta of it everytime. Each time I watched, I began to realize new depth to the plot. The movie is far more subtle in its message and theme of robots and human feelings/what makes you truly alive than Ghost In the Shell. I felt like GItS didn't have the soul that Metropolis did. Anyhow, I could talk for hours about how I think Metropolis is awesome and how Tezuka is a genius and all but I won't.
I feel that Metropolis is a better movie than Ghost in the Shell. What do ya'll think? Which did you like better?
