| Synopsis | The theme of Roujin Z is a real one that is worrying Japan's rulers as I write this - the care of Japan's large elderly population. Japan has the world's longest life ex- pectancy. The story opens as consciencious student nurse Haruko is calling on Mr Takazawa, a bedridden old man she looks after in her spare time. Mr. Takazawa is taken away to become the guinea pig for a project in computerised health care. |
| Review |
So far, the synopsis sounds like the scenario for a rather sombre or low-key film like TOMBSTONE OF THE FIREFLIES, or ONLY YESTERDAY, but this is a film by the creator of Akira, and the action gets more and more amazing as the story unfolds! Though this is a shorter and more modest film than Akira was, it still stands out from the flood of anime releases. |
