Legendary anime producer Masao Maruyama (TOKYO GODFATHERS) presents a collection of shorts by three of the most innovative and influential anime directors of the 1980s: Rintaro (METROPOLIS), Yoshiyaki Kawajiri (NINJA SCROLL), and Katsuhiro Otomo (AKIRA). Rintaro's hallucinogenic LABYRINTH LABYRINTHOS takes a trip through the imagination of a child as she visits the surreal land on the other side of her mirror. Featured on MTV's Liquid Television, Kawajiri's THE RUNNING MAN centers on a race car driver with the mysterious ability to survive even the most dangerous competitions. And Otomo's CONSTRUCTION CANCELLATION ORDER offers a wry meditation on technology through the story of a Japanese executive sent to dismantle a job site run by robots. [More]
