Earth is a distant memory. Five hundred years after a revolution replaced human government with computer-aided totalitarianism, machines control every aspect of human life. Artificially created children are examined on reaching adulthood-telepaths are weeded out and destroyed. These "Mu" rejects marshal their strength in a desperate attempt to escape this hostile environment. They need a dynamic leader who can take them to a world of their own, where they can live without fear of persecution. Meanwhile the computers declare that a fugitive Mu is at large, and Keith, one of the elite caste who work for the computers, realizes that his servant Jonah is more than he seems to be.
Keiko Takemiya, author of Song of Wind and Trees, wrote this science-fiction epic for Manga Shonen in 1977, and the anime remains close to the original style-boys' manga from a girls' artist. Despite the old-fashioned character designs, the film has held up well. The story handles familiar science-fiction concepts with assurance: Orwellian social and political oppression, computers that dictate human-kind's every move, mutant monsters shunned and hunted by humans, and pilgrims braving danger for a freer world. The film does not shy away from death, and, though violence and gore are kept low-key, some scenes are disturbing. N
