One of the most underrated anime films ever
it's unfortunate because the credits show they could have had a whole series after it.
Poor advertising
and most cost animation ever
Along with Origins smdh
Yes
You see! THIS is what I call a great Steampunk movie!
It is *THE* greatest Steampunk movie!
@@IidosGamingDen agree
for me it's kinda decent for a story, but it did a great job with the steampunk aspect
4:25 "You know how to operate a train?!"
"My teacher invented this bloody thing!"
I love how train is like "You pick up wrong way pal, rails is MINE!" and then just push this steam thing off.
Brilliant scene. It parallels the Bike chase scene during the start of Akira. In fact, there are many parallels between the Otomo's two movies: both plots are driven by the pursuit of an object of ultimate power; both films take place in a fictional future/past; both films have incredible animation and insanely detailed backgrounds; both stories in end in destruction. Yet the two films couldn't be anymore different in tone. Akira is the stuff of nightmares, whereas Steamboy is a movie I would feel comfortable watching with my mother.
In my headcanon both Share universe
I grew up with really dark and abstract memories of some horror I had witnessed as a young child. In my late teens I found out it had been Akira. Great film, but I can see why there are age ratings for films. Some things kids just aren't ready to understand, like you have no life context for how this fictional reflects deep aspects of life.
Steampunk is hopeful for the future, even with the repeat themes of the arrogance of technology's use in wartime. Akira is..... far less optimistic. Steamboy does however share a common theme with a LOT of Japanese productions: Let the Kids Figure it Out, and Get out of their Way. The idea that the older generation will find ways to destroy everything, or perpetuate the suffering and war of the past, or the arrogance of scientific progress without thinking of what might come next, all of it, and they will, through doctrine or arrogance or ego, find a way to screw it all up for everyone, in a way that they will be long dead before anyone can get a bead on fixing ANY of it. Steamboy, Gundam, High School of the Dead, and so many others, all of them rely on the idea that the previous generation is in their downhill swing, they need to start letting the younger generation step in and make decisions, because it's their world they're building, not the world of those who will be dead long before they see that change happen.
Oddly enough, Robert Stephenson was a real person who designed the first locomotive that incorporated design elements such as many small fire tubes as opposed to larger single tubes. A design element that would be used in most steam trains in later years.
He was also the one who designed and built a locomotive called the rocket which is a very famous steam locomotives because it was one of the first
Scarlett O'hara was a character in Gone With the Wind. I've never seen the movie, but from what I've seen, the two characters are quite similar.
The person who made the first steam locomotive was Richard Trevithick in 1803 Robert Stephenson made his locomotive debut in 1825 at a race *edit changed typo of full to first*
@@SirSomeone-hd1mi If I remember correctly, one or the other got ran over by their own creation because they forgot to consider brakes.
@@SirSomeone-hd1mi That or the brakes failed. I can't really remember.
I remember how this movie inspired me to imagine amazing desings about cities flying back when I saw it.
I''m a Japanese,but English is more suitable for this movie than JapaneseVery cool
i need japanese lessons :(
well its very rare get. hollywood actor as voice actor. patrick stewart, alfred molina, anna paquin. they really have budget. not every anime get the chance.
@@alfi-il7be
Hollywood actors are not always good voice actors just because they are actors that is just silly, the reason for infamous shitty dub quality across 99% of anime is simply down to it being done in America by low quality junk studios hiring dubious people.
Well, duh, it is set in England after all.
Actually Japanese voices suck
This only costed 20 million dollars, compared to Treasure Planet, a disney film 2 years ago costing 140 million dollars.
Both are great films
@PixelRelatedismyname Treasure planet has worse fx animation and some really evident perspective errors in the layouts.The animation is very floaty, Steamboy has more complex character designs and machinery.
You do know in Japan they pay animators less so basically you are saying Steamboy is better cause they pay their artist less and treat them worse while disney at least pay their artist better
@@silverdays2909 No , actually I support workers rights, the Japanese animators should receive fair pay and reasonable work hours and not be treated slaves. The observation I made was that it was possible to produce high quality animation with a small budget. I would never suggest that the people working on this film deserved such horrible treatment.
@@galacticdevil I just read article few month ago and it true Japan studio pay their animator like dirt shit . They took advantage of their passion for animation to keep budget low as possible. This why suicided rating in japan so high . working day and night get paid even less than fast-food employee don't have time to dating and socialize.
There is no doubt about it this movie has steampunk written all over it, and it's always a treat to hear Patrick Stewart. 😁
Who he voices in this film?
@@livioghelminighezzi5579 he plays the grandpa
He's the same guy who did Star Trek : The Next Generation.
@@danprocessor7458 And x-men
Honestly out of the whole movie I loved this scene the most. The monocylce was such a cool design wish it stayed around for longer
I love heavy, steam powered machines. they're like the most badass things there are. Shame there's hardly any steam punk anime around :/
Fulmetal Alchemist is SteamPunk.
@@cezarmartins686
_FMA_ uses a lot of magic, though, so it's not 'pure' steampunk like _Steamboy_ is.
@@cezarmartins686 MagePunks hahahaa
So weird to watch an anime about England
Your jaw will drop if you'll see Hellsing.
The London bridge is falling down.
Johnathan Joestar would like to know your location
@@nodrugshere300
Falling down?!
Ooh check out Violet Evergarden. It takes place on a fictional continent but it is definitely Anglo-inspired.
Incredibly underrated. One of my childhood films.
Me Too, Friend
Me Too, Friend
the level of details, the fluidity in the animation, the music, the camera rotations... My god this is so good
This is such a good movie.
Okay cool so this wasn't a fever dream I had when I was 7.
4:23 I simply love the expression on the driver and fireman in this scene
Wish there was more of this in the movie. This movie started off with so much potential before becoming a series of chase scenes with a plot leaving much to be desired. The animation of course is stunning. Otomo is one of my favorite artists (Akira and Cannon Fodder are masterpieces).
I do like this movie, but I just know it could have been so much more if they had a more engaging script and interesting ending.
I feel that for the relatively little plot there is, it's still very solid.
@@fds7476 Agreed - although 2 hours spreads the plot a little thin. I think if it was less tedious in it's pacing the film would have been more successful. The animation is very impressive though and deserves to be seen by a wider audience. I think part of the problem was it was marketed as the next Akira, but it couldn't be more different in tone. Akira is something I wouldn't show my mom, but I'd be more than comfortable watching Steamboy with her.
now we need to fix the advertising
@@MicahBuzanANIMATION Imo it does indeed same quality as Akira. Actually slightly better, in the plot and animation. Whilst Akira animation are fluid the color are pretty bad, same for the character design some are same.
Animation is much better in steamboy, and at least the color are much more sharp as well and look more nice. Plot is still full of nonsense just like akira, but enough to create a decent story that keep the movie flows. Still so many question and unexplained, just like Akira.
Steamboy
The budget for Katsuhiro Otomo's (Japan) Steamboy (Japan, 2004) anime is estimated to have reached 2.4 billion Yen ($20 million; £12 million), making it the most expensive animated movie in Japanese history.
Fake, Tale of Princess Kaguya from Studio Ghibli cost 49 million dollars, or 5 billion Yen
Underrated masterpiece
The steam automotive, best train ever
the animation in this movie is godlike.
tracks are for trains, if you aren't a train, GET OFF!
I want more northern accents in my anime. Steampunk goes so well with it ^_^ Some Smoggie would be nice next time xD
I love the desing of all those steam machines!
General Grevious escapes Obi Wan Kenobi (circa 33 BBY)
I'll never get over the fact that Anna Paquin,who played sookie in True Blood is James' VA. I'd never have known if it wasn't for recognising the yelling and screaming here XD
Watched this when I was 6 nastalgia.
This is Why I Am Still In Love with "Steam Technology" The Most
THE INTRO IS A BEAST
雖然是日本動畫 但還是覺得英文配音最適合
2004年的畫風超細緻！
I like a lot this movie! It's so awesome! :D
I still have not watched, but it looks cool.
It's worth noting that the actress who voices Ray is actually a Canadian born New Zealand actress but God she does a good job at doing a 12 year old boy voice and a Manchester accent at the same time
Anna Paquin
@@lightheart5 thats right
now we know where the Monocycles from Men In Black came from!
DON'T DELETE THIS AWESOME CZcams VIDEO ! :-D
What did she have in that pillow, bricks?
It was more the surprise and speed of the hit that knocked him over, not the mass of the pillow.
Oh, this must be the scene where Grevious attempts to escape Kenobi on Utapau
ngl, the monocycle looks very fun to ride/drive
This movie literally won a Guinness world record
Tetsuo is that you?
The steam engine at the beginning of this anime is heavily inspired from the real cotton mill engine that's in the middle of my town (Wigan, Lancashire).
Yes. It's a Corliss engine :)
Masterful
Es increíble Steamboy! Los diálogos sobre el progreso. Impecable.
"Un invento sin una filosofía que lo respalde es una maldición. La ciencia debería revelar principios universales no ayudarle a la humanidad en su insensatez (...)
Para qué es la ciencia? Para hacer igual a toda la humanidad! Es poder! La ciencia es poder!
We need more anime with European settings
Vinland Saga might be what you're looking for. Vikings, european countries. It's on Amazon Prime.
Fullmetal Alchemist is ambientalized in Europe.
Most World Masterpiece Theatre adaptations (Heidi, Romeo's Blue Skies...)
@@samconduct1356 One of the best anime ever made
I want this movie to be reanimated and watch it again
Certified Fresh Vanilla Cakes For Very Very Amazing
I Love It A Lot
One of the best episodes of the film. Fucking badass !!
badass chase...
This looks amazing and the green steam engine looks like Edward from Thomas and friends
I love the trains of the film, they look like something out of the victorian era in brittain, plus i think a few are based on steam engines from brittain, not to sure on that though.
Let's go on Patreon to request AniMat, Mr. Enter, Mr. Coat, Jambareeqi and ToonGrin to review Steamboy. I predict that while they may not find them to be masterpieces, they might still give it heavily positive reviews.
I personally don't like anime but the train scene (the part were the train shoved the thing into the water) is an exception
me gusta mucho estas animaciones que calidad woooow!"!!!
Just an average Tuesday in Victorian England
Behold the great groundtrain
Não acredito que achei esse filme de anime denoooovooo 🙌🙌🙌🙌faz anos que eu tava procurando ,que eu esqueci o nome ai pesquisei bastante e acheiii 🙌🙌🙌🔥

Modern anime focus on sexuality and nonsense conversation. Old anime focus on plot and storyline
Epic
Five and a Half Rating Stars For Very Very Excellent
I really want a monocycle now!!!
Stfu
Overall the animation and the story is interesting, but not entirely fluid. Always loved the idea of steampunk, or industrial fantasy if you prefer.
I saw this in the intro to godzilla final wars.
My DVD had a few scratches so this part was a bit unwatchable thanks for uploading

i thought this was a FEVER DREAM
I remember when I first saw this scene and was like What the F** is that chasing him?
Steamboyyy
For those who didn't notice, there is a glaring historical mistake 3:10. The Engine is painted in LNER Apple Green and says LMS on it. That in itself is a huge oversight, but its made worse by the fact neither railway existed until 1923. More than 60 years after this film takes place. Plus, the buffer beam has the initials for the Midland Railway. And while the Midland Railway did exist in 1861, they did not run lines to London. And the initials would have been painted over if the locomotive was acquired by the LMS
Let's consider this isn't our timeline and that steam technology advanced faster than in our timeline.
Or let's consider that this is just a excuse to make this story "victorian".
Also, let's not consider steam monstruosities XD
It's very likely that research on British railways of the victorian era would be hard to come by in Japan when this was written. They probably got colours and livery from assortments of black and white photos and illustrations; it could also be likely that the writing staff would not be fluent in English nor the roman alphabet too; meaning they were just be copying livery from reference material without even knowing what it means. It would be a bit like a western writer/storyboarder trying to make a movie set in the Showa period in Japan with only japanese reference materials and a limited understanding of both the language and writing. Your bound to have a few flubs in terms of total accuracy.
@kauske perhaps, but this is Katsuhiro Otomo we're talking about. The man is one of those who is obsessed with minor details
@@brianwelch-qq3ti You can be as detail obsessed as you want; but if you don't happen to have an encyclopedic knowledge of foreign rail systems from around a century prior mistakes can happen.
Aslo, on the production of something as big as a feature length animated film; one man can't really do everything. There will be dozens of story-borders, dozens more reference gatherers, and then hundreds of animators.
For all they could know the roman letters on the vehicles could be any number of different markings, assuming they actually know the roman alphabet at all. It's not surprising that mixed livery/colours and period inaccurate rail companies got mashed up.
Akira but steampunk
Like you were picking daisies! You built the stupid thing! - Eddy, Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show (2009)
So this is not some film I made in my mind when i was like 6 it’s REAL yay
Use to be free on CZcams under their free movie section
That 4-4-0 looks similar to Edward from Thomas & Friends
If Akira was set in the Industrial Revolution, basically.
Otomo wants replicate the same with steampunk but was a flop, but more ending than Akira movie
Steve Jablonsky best compositor.
Steam pank excites me.
a slight annoyance i notice for the sake of visual interest they make extra animation that doesn't help the plot, just for the sake of animation.
