The animation is amazingly lush. You really feel immersed in this industrial steam world. Most of the time, the computer animation is so well blended into the traditional animation that you can't tell which is which. There's only a few shots where the computer animation sticks out. Unlike Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, the CG isn't trying to draw attention to itself (most of the time), and is used as part of the story telling process.

But there's something about this movie that prevents it from becoming a thing that you treasure and love. I think that something is the lack of heart. It's an ok story, lots of exciting things happen, and the music score is good. But other than the excitement felt during the action scenes, there's little other emotion and feeling.

Howl's Moving Castle wasn't Miyazaki's best work, but it was made memorable because it had so much heart and emotion. Steamboy, on the other hand, is forgettable.

Boy, they didn't have much of a theatrical release for this one! I really wanted to see it on the big screen, but I blinked and it was gone. I can't believe there's not more support for anime in TO - I guess all the fanboys are hunkered down with their DVD players and cheesies in their basements somewhere...

No cheesies. Leaves a mess on the penis when watching hentai.
