for me it's kinda decent for a story, but it did a great job with the steampunk aspect

4:25 "You know how to operate a train?!" "My teacher invented this bloody thing!"

I love how train is like "You pick up wrong way pal, rails is MINE!" and then just push this steam thing off.

Brilliant scene. It parallels the Bike chase scene during the start of Akira. In fact, there are many parallels between the Otomo's two movies: both plots are driven by the pursuit of an object of ultimate power; both films take place in a fictional future/past; both films have incredible animation and insanely detailed backgrounds; both stories in end in destruction. Yet the two films couldn't be anymore different in tone. Akira is the stuff of nightmares, whereas Steamboy is a movie I would feel comfortable watching with my mother.

I grew up with really dark and abstract memories of some horror I had witnessed as a young child. In my late teens I found out it had been Akira. Great film, but I can see why there are age ratings for films. Some things kids just aren't ready to understand, like you have no life context for how this fictional reflects deep aspects of life.

Underrated masterpiece

the level of details, the fluidity in the animation, the music, the camera rotations... My god this is so good This is such a good movie.

Wish there was more of this in the movie. This movie started off with so much potential before becoming a series of chase scenes with a plot leaving much to be desired. The animation of course is stunning. Otomo is one of my favorite artists (Akira and Cannon Fodder are masterpieces). I do like this movie, but I just know it could have been so much more if they had a more engaging script and interesting ending.

Whilst Akira animation are fluid the color are pretty bad, same for the character design some are same. Animation is much better in steamboy, and at least the color are much more sharp as well and look more nice. Plot is still full of nonsense just like akira, but enough to create a decent story that keep the movie flows. Still so many question and unexplained, just like Akira.

4:23 I simply love the expression on the driver and fireman in this scene

For those who didn't notice, there is a glaring historical mistake 3:10. The Engine is painted in LNER Apple Green and says LMS on it. That in itself is a huge oversight, but its made worse by the fact neither railway existed until 1923. More than 60 years after this film takes place. Plus, the buffer beam has the initials for the Midland Railway. And while the Midland Railway did exist in 1861, they did not run lines to London. And the initials would have been painted over if the locomotive was acquired by the LMS

It's very likely that research on British railways of the victorian era would be hard to come by in Japan when this was written. They probably got colours and livery from assortments of black and white photos and illustrations; it could also be likely that the writing staff would not be fluent in English nor the roman alphabet too; meaning they were just be copying livery from reference material without even knowing what it means. It would be a bit like a western writer/storyboarder trying to make a movie set in the Showa period in Japan with only japanese reference materials and a limited understanding of both the language and writing. Your bound to have a few flubs in terms of total accuracy.

@@brianwelch-qq3ti You can be as detail obsessed as you want; but if you don't happen to have an encyclopedic knowledge of foreign rail systems from around a century prior mistakes can happen. Aslo, on the production of something as big as a feature length animated film; one man can't really do everything. There will be dozens of story-borders, dozens more reference gatherers, and then hundreds of animators. For all they could know the roman letters on the vehicles could be any number of different markings, assuming they actually know the roman alphabet at all. It's not surprising that mixed livery/colours and period inaccurate rail companies got mashed up.
