Ray is young wunderkind inventor living in Victorian England. It was fairly enjoyable, that's the least i can say. The anime kept it's status while the game did it's own show. Steamboy also gained alot of recognition which made them release a game for ps2. Steamboy is said to be one of the most expensive anime movies made to date. The father and the scientist that started it all together with his dad (Loyd Steam). Whereas in steamboy he lays voice to the father of Ray Steam, James Edward Steam. A 72 year old voice actor/narrator that have had the pleasure of laying voices to many different kind of anime characters. Now for a legend of this time which is Masane Tsukayama. This wasn't her first appearance as a voice actors since she laid voice to some characters in the big franchise of 'Initial D' which also was her small step towards something bigger. The Young woman with the name of Anne Suzuki made a big appearance in this movie as she laid voice to the main protagonist (Ray Steam). The movie was released the 17th of July 2004, while it's airing time was 126 minutes long which isn't considered much for a movie the centers around an era where there is so much to share. The man himself who directed the so famous movie called 'Akira' which I'm sure most of you anime fans know of. The Steam punk classic was produced by none other than 'Sunrise' themselves while being directed/Co-written by Katsuhiro Otomo. Bur besides from that, then it was enjoyable. So there presence in the movie was confusing. Such as certain characters that weren't introduced to well. But there were a few things that bothered me. There weren't many things I didn't like about this movie. And especially not in an era where weapons had slowly started to surface. The fact that Steamboy was a direct view the on past, and how the story developed around the creation of a new era where steam was the main product. The fact that Steamboy removed the sheltered housing around the sub genre of steam punk and then threw some new light upon the glorious sub genre, was something that enlightened my view on the particular product of it's premise.
