Steamboy

This was actually better than all the Studio Ghibli movies I've watched in the last few months combined! Sure, the story is a little light and it's strangely structured, but at least it makes sense! There's no random characters or plot points present that serve no purpose to the story except to show off (take note Studio Ghibli!). The story itself is pretty straightforward - set in an alternate reality where the world has gone all steampunk, boy genius suddenly finds himself being pursued by agents of a strange organisation when he receives a package from this grandfather. He must use all his wits and inventiveness to find out the truth and save the world. Simple enough. The female characters are still annoying as hell though.
