	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Rintaro
		Rintaro is the pseudonym of Hayashi Shigeyuki (January 22, 1941 -), a director of anime.
		Rintaro remarks that it would be difficult to make a retro-futuristic movie about robots and a big city without mirroring some aspect of the Lang's classic, but the plots and characters of the two Metropolis films stand on their own without reference to one another.
		Rintaro's robot girl existed in the manga not as a daughter, but as a son named Michi, and became Tima only in Otomo's screenplay.

	Rintaro \| Interviews \| SCI FI Weekly
		Rintaro: I had directed some of the early episodes of Astro Boy, and I'm interested in the science fiction/fantasy-type story elements of manga, so I felt that Metropolis was the perfect adventure for me to direct as my next feature film.
		Rintaro: To actually make that retro-futuristic city, I could just use traditional animation, but the reason that I wanted to use the newest technology was to show that, when you watch Metropolis, there are actually two different worlds: the ground-level society and the underground society.
		Rintaro: The most difficult thing in terms of combining cel animation and digital images was that, when you mix these two elements, the digital part is inevitably going to stand out.

	Metropolis (Metoroporisu)
		Rintaro's Metropolis has, consequently, been given such life that, like the Metropolis of the earlier work, it is itself a major character in the film.
		By referencing Lang's masterpiece, Rintaro is able to awaken in the viewer memories he may have of that film and, consequently, the emotions he associated with the characters featured in it.
		While Rintaro's film is flawed by the presence of such elements, and by its less than fascinating protagonists, it is, nonetheless, so astonishingly beautiful that it is an impressive achievement.

	+-----Roses - Version 2.0-----+
		Rintaro Endo is 7 years older than his sister, Senko Endo, and he moved out of the house, at 18 and 3 months, just before the abuse began.
		Rintaro took his sister into his home with his wife, Ayuka, and daughter, Ineko, when their parents went missing as he tried terribly hard to make up for the years he'd missed with his sister.
		Rintaro is a wonderful brother, albeit somewhat oblivious and sometimes too trusting.

	BLACK MOON - METROPOLIS, an animation masterpiece by Rintaro
		Director Rintaro (aka, Hayashi Shigeyuki), is one of the most renown animators in all of Japan, and he worked closely with Tezuka on projects like Astro Boy and Kimba The White Lion...
		Rintaro's animated adaptation of Tezuka's work bares some resemblance to Lang's movie, but it makes a radical departure in several areas.
		Rintaro creates a picture of a city so large it has become its own self contained universe.

	A Dangerous, but Rewarding, Journey into the Heart of Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis, by Laura Blackwell
		Rintaro thought of Manhattan when designing the close quarters and lofty buildings of Metropolis.
		Rintaro hails the Lang film as a personal favorite, but made no conscious homage to it.
		Unlike Lang's witchy and willing Pandora-like Maria, Rintaro's childlike Tima refuses to believe that she is a robot -- and when Tima unleashes her powers, it's through anger, not calculation.

		In Rintaro's Metropolis, the city is a retro modern metropole on the verge of political collapse.
		A host of characters that include a young man and his uncle, an assassin and an angel-like, blond young girl who doesn't quite know who she is provide the drama.
		Rintaro, whose real name is Shigeyuki Hayashi, was born in 1941.

	Metropolis Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		That's no coincidence, since it was written by Akira mastermind Katsuhiro Otomo and based on a 1949 manga by Astro Boy creator Osamu Tezuka, the animator and artist widely regarded as the father of anime.
		Add the efforts of the well-respected anime director Rintaro (X), and you have what is arguably the greatest conglomeration of Japanese animation talent ever assembled.
		Rintaro and his team of animators seamlessly blend hand-drawn characters with humongous, computer-generated machines.

	www.TheGline.com: DVD of the Week: (10-23-05): Neo-Tokyo
		Rintaro’s opener, “Labyrinth Labyrinthos” is essentially a bookending segment: it opens and closes the whole thing, and serves as a nice introduction to the twilight-zone territory we’ll be traversing.
		Essentially a fantasia about a young girl and her cat, it’s got the same trippy, reality-bending feel to it as Cat Soup: shadows turn into fl slime that cover city walls; a circus tent becomes home to all manner of phantasmagoria; all is illusion.
		Rintaro had already produced Harmagedon, Dagger of Kamui and Firebird/Hi no Tori—three of his signature works, the latter of which remains incomprehensibly unseen by Western audiences.

		Rintaro's career spans more than four decades of working with the greats of animation.
		One of the first anime series that was brought to the U.S. was Tetsuwan Atom as Astro Boy, and Rintaro was one of that series' directors.
		And, as Metropolis showed, Rintaro is a big fan of the old-school musical creativity of the late Ray Charles.

	New York's Premier Alternative Newspaper. Arts, Music, Food, Movies and Opinion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Like Lang’s dream city, Rintaro’s has a dank underground and dissatisfied factions, but it’s not a mystical Germanic autocracy; it’s a diverse, modern capitalist city.
		It doesn’t grab you by the scruff of the neck and tell you how to feel; it lets you choose to be interested or uninterested, and leaves big blanks you can fill in however you like.
		Rintaro is confident enough to let a number of moments, from dry slapstick to wrenching emotional implosions, play out in long takes–often from distant vantage points that contrast the characters’ smallness against the vastness of their city.

	DVD.net : Metropolis (2001) - DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Armed with a script from seminal anime writer Kastuhiro Otomo (Akira), Rintaro and his team at Madman Productions began development of Metropolis - a project that would eventually culminate, more than 40 years after the original manga was first published, in arguably one of the most beautiful animated films ever created.
		Tezuka’s plot, based loosely on Fritz Lang’s legendary 1927 film, is a re-imagining of the old tower of babel allegory; a treatise on humanity's tenuous grasp on technology, and its power for social division rather than harmony.
		Rintaro discusses his desire to revisit the now out-of-vogue ‘fantasy science’ style of manga through Metropolis, his opinion on 3D versus traditional cel animation and what Tezuka might think of the finished product.

	NPR's Morning Edition -- Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis
		Rintaro started his career as an animator and worked on the cartoon that introduced Japanese animation to American audiences nearly 40 years ago -- Astro Boy.
		That confusion is reflected in the visual design of the new film -- but Rintaro's touch comes through in his obvious American influences.
		Out of respect for the man who created the original drawings that inspired him, Rintaro is billing his new film as Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis.

	X Review Page
		Unfortunately like many 'manga-to-film' incarnations, "Rintaro's" film assumes that the audience has already cogitated (And read!) the extensive manga series.
		If Otomo's "Akira" is "X" with a brain, then Rintaro's feature film is Otomo's movie with swords instead of bikes, and no sense of timing or direction within the second act.
		Rintaro doesn't know how to entertain here, though his illustrious career is masterful, he has simply proceeded to fulfill a project he can't ensconce the shoes of.

	Eye Weekly - On screen - 05.18.00
		Though X is often very exciting, it does highlight the difficulties in adapting the thorny, endlessly complex plotting in a series of manga books (comics) to the more streamlined format of feature-length anime.
		Here, veteran director Rintaro (whose career stretches back to working on the Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion TV shows in the '60s) has adapted a popular series by the all-female team at Clamp Studios.
		The scenario is typically apocalyptic, with our hero Kamui torn between (though not literally for once) the opposing armies of the Dragons of Heaven and the Dragons of Earth as the final battle to decide the fate of the Earth begins in Tokyo.

		More than fifty years since it was first imagined, Tezuka's vision of the inability of scientific progress to fulfill basic human needs—in spite of its mechanizing even the most fundamental aspects of life—confirms him as a prophet as well as a fabulist.
		Written by Otomo and directed by Rintaro, the retro-futurism of the story—as well as its precautionary tale—is spectacularly rendered in its visual style, combining the best in Japanese cel animation with the latest in digital technology.
		His first work in animation was as a character designer for Rintaro's Harmagedon in 1983.

	Monsters At Play: Spirit Warrior Review
		In this option, Rintaro explains about the use of the Kanji Japanese characters for the names of the anime's characters, which add subtitles (and puns) not found when translated into our pedestrian English.
		Rintaro also reveals he likes women's butts, in case anybody wondered.
		Whatever, the commentary is insightful more about Rintaro than his film, but is definitely worth watching (err...reading).

		After Tezuka's death, director Rintaro secured the rights to Metropolis and engaged Katsuhiro Otomo to write the screenplay.
		According to a special feature interview, Rintaro believes Tezuka looked at his early works as somewhat undeveloped and incomplete and thus didn't want to have those works made into anime features.
		Rintaro says that he really liked the human-robot conflicts in Metropolis and really wanted to make a feature-length film based on Tezuka's original manga.

		That’s the mixed message delivered by Metropolis, the new, lavishly detailed, and gracefully wrought animated feature directed by Rintaro, written by Otomo and based on the classic manga (comic) by Osamu Tezuka, the grandpappy of anime and the groundbreaking creator of Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion and Princess Knight.
		She doesn’t realize she is a robot or that she has the extraordinary, terrible power to rule the city.
		Fans of the original manga will find Metropolis quite different: Otomo and Rintaro made an effort to add warmth to the story, created characters such as Rock and put a new spin on others such as Tima, originally a gender-switching robot called Mitchi.
