The New York Times Dave Kehr uses this week's US opening of Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis as his cue to celebrate Japanese Cinema's Second Golden Age.

Includes an interesting analysis of Perfect Blue and the shojo phenomenon.

Aside

Translating "manga" as "comic book" irritates me. Manga is not the equivalent of the Sunday funnies. I prefer the more accurate, if somewhat pretentious, "graphic novel".
