I saw a Japanese film loaded with steampunk and diesel style, on SBS last night. Too late to catch the name, but there is an Asian Federation, at war with someone-or-other, and a legendary race of Original Humans, which are supposed to be extinct but their descendants are with us today, there is a theory put forward by a scientist that he can use "neo-cells" to save lives by forming them into any body part necessary, and gets funding from the military. Our hero tires of medicine and goes to war, and when the aforementioned scientist succeeds in bringing back the ancient humans from all the people being slain in the war zone, he brings back our freshly killed hero, who has the same traits too.
The other people he brings back are instantly declared an abomination, and attacked; some get away and happen upon a fortress in the snow, abandoned for reasons unknown, with an automated war factory in the basement, and they decide to declare war on the humans, calling themselves neo-humans. Meanwhile our hero is smuggled to the home of an armour specialist, who seals him in a protoype suit as his muscles are growing too fast and he needs the pressure contained within the armour.
The huge battle scenes are more over-the-top than Warhammer 40000.
This might seem predictable in this day and age, particularly to fans of Saikano/She, the Ultimate Weapon; but noone learns to let go of their hate until they are all stuffed.
It's, like, a statement on mans inhumanity to man, man.....
