I really enjoyed this one. While "Magnetic Rose" was the best made of the three, I liked "Stink Bomb" the best. Kind of dark comedy, but I like how the ending has a kind of twisted ironic justice to it.

You also said:
"Cannon Fodder" -Not much happens in this one. I got kind of bored with it, but it wasn't that bad. A few scenes made me laugh, but when we didn't even see the battle that was being lead up to, I felt kind of cheated. (2/10)


I thought this was the most thought provoking piece, and here is my take on it.
[spoiler]There never was an opposing army, or at least there isn't anymore, but this society is entirely mobilized around the war effort, and must continue to fight that war to carry on, even if it is a fictional war. That is why they make such a show about firing the big cannon.[/spoiler]

Magnetic Rose has recieved more emotional response from me than possibly any other I have seen. I cried (just at the sheer beauty of it, and there was some...heart wrenching moments)

I laughed, I dropped my jaw. Obviously I really got into it and thought it was spectacular. More anime needs to have sort of animation style. ^_^

And to make a minor correction to the review. There IS extremely brief nudity. If you blink, you could miss it, I swear. Which is quite possibly what happened to rocklobster (no offense).

One of the crew members glances at a topless photo of his girlfriend. It's only half a second, but still existant.

Thanks. I guess I did blink :lol: (And I take it Steam Boyis not a sequel to "Cannon Fodder"? Because I mentioned that it might be in my review. Or did you edit that out because I wasn't sure if there was a connection?)

Uhm, no. I really don't think Cannon Fodder and Steamboy have any connection. They're seperate works with the only connection being Katsuhiro Otomo. ^_^
