Premise
The landmark anime film classic about psionic kids in post-apocalyptic Tokyo.
Thoughts
It's been forever, but it was an eye-opening classic in the anime genre. It was full of mature themes, trippy sequences, an uncompromising gritty vision, a memorable style, an interesting score, and thought-provoking ambiguity. The interpretive ending might have been too ambitious, to the point of pretentiousness. Also, the dialogue was laughable at times, as the leads just repeatedly shout each others' names.
What I would change
Nothing.
