Silent Mobius: The Motion Picture - It has been about 9 or 8 years since I've seen this movie, so I decided to re-watch it. Silent Mobius is one of my favorite franchises growing up and the movie holds up very well.

The art style and animation are top-notch as well as the story. The animation is very well detail and all the characters designs are very nicely done. All of the monsters look really awesome in my opinion and I miss when anime from the past had really awesome monster designs. The setting of Tokyo feels dark and futuristic which captures the mood of the anime. There is a really nice mix of supernatural and sci-fi mix into Silent Mobius that they did a fantastic job on creating the atmosphere for the anime.

Silent Mobius and older anime like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Gunbuster, Wings of Honneamise, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Perfect Blue, Wicked City, and several others still have animation that still looks great even many decades later.

The story is very well done because the story of demons invading a Blade Runner type of city and having the Tokyo Police in charge of supernatural activity is so awesome. Katsumi Liqueur is a great main character and her character development was very nicely done too. I think they did a great job on handling her character development after she gets over the shock of seeing her mother destroyed by a demon.

The supporting cast could have been better and the story is bit hard to follow at first, but they still had a great job on telling a story in 55 minutes. They help create a really awesome world with cool characters, great action and a dark futuristic atmosphere to draw us in the world of Silent Mobius. I feel like Silent Mobius was inspired by the Bubblegum Crisis series since they are both set in the a futuristic world with a female cast fighting monsters.

The music is great too and the re-dub from Ocean Group is also great too. I never seen the original Streamline dub, but I do like the Ocean dub pretty well. The Japanese version is also fantastic too.

Silent Mobius: The Motion Picture is still a great supernatural cyberpunk film with great animation, great music, cool characters and a kick ass story. It is a shame that the series has fade into obscurity over the years and this is a anime film that you should watch more than once.

This movie is not perfect, but Silent Mobius: The Motion Picture has a lot to offer. I would recommend this anime if you like the Bubblegum Crisis series, demon invasion stories or old school anime titles. Grade: 8/10
