One of the big advantages of adapting his pre-existing work was that Otomo had already created a fully developed world in which to drop his revised characters for the film, with little need to set the scene for new viewers. Because of this, the film can initially be confusing for those who have never read the manga. The advantage is that Neo Tokyo feels like a real, breathing world which exists outside of the bounds of the narrative. No matter how many times you watch the film, it always feels like there’s more to discover just beyond the edges of the frame. While it may seem like a shame that Otomo never made a sequel to explore more of that world, its open-endedness granted it longevity. As 2001 proved, sometimes the questions are more interesting than the answers, but the manga is still available for those who wish to know more. Osmond, Andrew (June 21, 2011).
