Steamboy is, on the surface, a fun little movie.
 As you can see, naming characters isn’t the strong point for this film.  Like her classic film namesake, young Scarlett deserves to be slapped, “often, and by someone who knows how.”  (My two Republic credits for whatever they’re worth.)  During the course of this adventure, Ray learns that his father has survived, and while he’s pushing forward with the science of the Steam Ball on a new project known as the Steam Castle, the grandfather is now opposing the work and puts Ray in the unfortunate position of having to choose a side.  Along for the ride is the young, spoiled, and aptly-named Scarlett O’Hara (voiced by Kari Wahlgren), heiress to the O’Hara Foundation that’s funded the work of both Dr.  Ray is told to deliver the Steam Ball to entrepreneur Robert Stephenson (voiced by Oliver Cotton) and to keep it away from the Expo. Lloyd Steam (voiced by Patrick Stewart), to protect the invention known as the “Steam Ball” at all costs following the death of Ray’s father, Dr.  The story centers around the character of Ray (voiced by Anna Paquin), who is charged by his grandfather, Dr. It’s Victorian era London, as one might expect of such a story, shortly before the first ever World Expo where science is about to dictate the course of human development.  Curiosity got the better of me, and I’m a bit of a sucker for a good steampunk tale, so I thought I’d give it a shot.  Having said that, there is an exception to everything, and it is with great joy and amazement that I find one such exception.  For those who enjoy the genre, I’m sorry, but that’s just the result of my experiences.
 Most the examples I’ve seen – and I’ve seen plenty, believe me – are riddled with substandard animation quality, wacky pop tunes that do not belong, and plots that make almost no sense whatsoever.
I am one of those who simply does not get Anime.
