[.ca] Steam Detectives: Case 1 (ep.1-5)



From Amazon.com:
Although it aired only a year earlier, Steam Detectives anticipates much of the look of Power Stone and the modus operandi of The Big O. Ten-year-old detective Narutaki fights crime in Steam City with the aid of perky, tea-serving nurse Ling Ling and her squat mecha Goricki. Like Robin without Batman, Narutaki lives in high style, attended by his faithful old butler Kawakubo. He drives a motor scooter, shoots a variety of firearms with impressive accuracy, and makes leaps of crime-solving logic no police detective can match, yet the villains always escape to return in later episodes. Steam City suggests a Victorian London that advanced without developing new sources of energy to replace 19th-century coal and iron technology. Director Kiyoshi Murayama stages the frequent mecha battles with an unimaginative stolidity that makes Steam Detective feel older than it is. (Rated 15 and older: minor profanity and violence) --Charles Solomon
