Karasu tengu Kabuto: Ôgon no me no kemono (1992)
Tiny medieval Japanese steam-punk masterpiece
I am not an anime enthusiast here, but this title is one of the only ones that I actually own, alongside Neo-Tokio. Back then, there were not many steam-punk anime films produced. You'll have to appreciate Medieval Japan with helicopters, cyborgs and magical creatures. It is very short, but an enjoyable piece that you'll appreciate if you let yourself take away by the dream-like scenery and the heavy metal soundtrack. Karazu Tengu Kabuto is a movie that will leave you wondering why the setting is left largely unexplored. A very straightforward story with a superb execution, the quality of the animation is nothing to be surprised about, even though, it won't leave you dissatisfied. It filled my brain with ideas. See it and form your own opinion.
