Steamboy

If you consider yourself a scientist, or have even a vague interest in things scientific, then you should watch Steamboy. It’s not one of the best animes I’ve seen; actually, I’m just not sure I like the English dub – a bit too literal. But its overt theme of “Is Science Evil?” had me glued to the couch with joyful anticipation. Some may cringe at the comparison, but I couldn’t help but draw numerous parallels with the recent Iron Man movie. Both deal with the arms industries and both question the morals of profiting from what is essentially, the business of killing.
