Welcome to Metropolis

AnimationScience Fiction

Kenichi and his detective uncle, Shunsaku Ban, leave Japan to visit Metropolis, in search of the criminal, Dr. Laughton. However, when they finally find Dr. Laughton, Kenichi and Shunsaku find themselves seperated and plunged into the middle of a larger conspiracy. While Shunsaku searches for his nephew and explanations, Kenichi tries to protect Tima (a mysterious young girl), from Duke Red and his adopted son Rock, both of whom have very different reasons for wanting to find her.

VIBE

A visually stunning, retro-futuristic anime that blends steampunk aesthetics with a noir-infused mystery. It's a thoughtful exploration of artificial life and the search for self, wrapped in a visually rich, melancholic world.
