Ard Vijn writes:"The smaller scale may have labeled it to be an "Akira light" on Katsuhiro Otomo's resumée, but "Roujin-Z" is still mighty impressive on that front. Even more impressive is its depiction of care for the elderly, an issue which hasn't aged one bit. Successful both as cautionary science-fiction and social commentary, "Roujin-Z" is one of Otomo's most adult endeavors and watching it is highly recommended!"
