From the leader in anime and internationally-renowned director, Katsuhiro Otomo (Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis, Memories and Akira), comes his first feature-length directorial project since his breakthrough film, Akira. Ten years in the making, with a total budget of $22 million, STEAMBOY is the most expensive Japanese anime production ever.
