Just watched a film called Steamboy, it's the latest anime by Katsuhiro Ôtomo (better known for Akira). It's an enjoyable little adventure film about giant steam powered weapons kicking off during the Great Exhibition in Victorian Britain. The ending is far too long, but that seems to be a common problem with Japanese animation. I had to smile at the cheeky little nod to Coronation Street at the start - the first part of the story is set in Manchester - guess which pub is featured...
