- tezuka osamu's metropolis

this is a story about the conflict between humans and they robots they have created as a lesser servant race. it focuses on the journey of a young boy who meets tima, a robot that has been developed to be as near human as possible, she appears to be human on every level and believes herself to be human. when she finds out she isnt and that she has been built to be used as a tool of control she rejects all humanity including her own and lashes back at her creators with the destruction of the city. this anime looks very deeply at the relationship between humans and artifically created robots on individual and social levels, it deals with fear and prejudice between races and also on class systems. the consequences of humanities treatment of tima is similar to themes from frankenstein and violence and hate are strong themes throughout.
