_Roujin Z_ is a wonderful film and a must-watch for devotees of 90s cel animation. Hiroyuki Kitakubo and Katsuhiro Otomo borrow liberally from Shinya Tsukamoto's _Tetsuo: The Iron Man_, released two years prior. Kitakubo and Otomo strip a great deal of the nihilism and anxiety from _Tetsuo_, but the ambivalence toward technological advancement and militarization remain intact. The film's narrative also borrows a bit from the structure of Sophocles' _Antigone_, with the heroic nurse Haruko challenging conventional state-sanctioned morality with an uncompromising worldview of her own. Overall, highly recommended.

The plot is o More
