Editorial Reviews

This discovery upsets the entire nation, and a "Tetsujin Inquiry" is set to convene. Meanwhile, the rampage of the PX Syndicate puts Japan at risk of stalling its post war recovery. The only way to stop this mayhem is to boost Tetsujin's destructive capability by injecting the "bagume" into him. Shotaro does not want to transform Tetsujin into a weapon, but he knows he has to make a decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost made me cry., February 15, 2007

This review is from: Tetsujin 28, Vol. 6: Advance! Tetsujin (DVD)

Has any animation managed to make me cry?
Not really. But this came very close.
Retro style animation is beautiful. Music is beautiful and moving. Characters are likeable (this is the biggest difference between this and another great animation, GiantRobo (same original creator)). And when you finish the final DVD, you will realize that it's one long story, all connected in the end. And such a touching ending, closing is sad but completes the story. Finally, it's quite frank and honest regarding WWII (You have to watch it to understand). Strongly recommended!

* 5 stars should not be used lightly but I gave it to this wonderful animation because an animation doesn't get any better than this. Beautiful...
