About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, myth-based epic about loyalty, honor, and revenge that grows more intense over time; Not for you if you dislike slow silent-era pacing or grim brutality, unlike Metropolis.
Pros: grand mythic scope; striking sets and detail; intense moral conflict | Cons: long and deliberate; heavy on violence; emotionally bleak tone
