9/10
An underrated anime gem that is an absolute must see
20 May 2023
Robot Carnival (1987) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. This film is made up of a series of short stories about a futuristic society where robots are as big a part of society as humans. In some instances that is for good and in some instances, there are risks to the future of the human race because of the evolution.

This movie is directed by nine directors and contains the voices of Bob Bergen (Akira), Eddie Frierson (Doctor Dolittle), Barbara Goodson (Akira), Steve Kramer (Akira), Tom Wyner (Ghost in the Shell) and Michael McConnohie (Vampire Hunter D).

While some segments are better than others, this movie overall is absolutely fantastic. The science fiction elements are tremendous and the animation and universe really sucks you in. Some of the segments are really artistic and the entire movie is unique. The first half of the film has no speaking but the second half works dialogue into the stories. The soundtrack is also outstanding.

Overall, this is an underrated anime gem that is an absolute must see. I would score this a strong 9/10.
