Got a bit of comedy, lots of drama, etc. Definitely not your standard anime by *any* means, it totally avoids all those stupid cliches anime has becomes so enamored with recently. It features actual people, not walking pucnhlines or one-word characters.
Forget the term "anime." It's just a great movie: period. Definitely worth seeing. [ 02-10-2004: Message edited by: Chalesm ]

Chalesm had this to say about Tron:
Yes, it is good. Very good. It's got a really weird directorial style, an actress telling the story of her life through her movies; it's hard to describe, but wonderfully done.Got a bit of comedy, lots of drama, etc. Definitely not your standard anime by *any* means, it totally avoids all those stupid cliches anime has becomes so enamored with recently.

Can you compare it to anything? Maybe Perfect blue?
The other big difference is that this one is not a horror; it's much more... uplifting, a drama of unacheivable love. It's lighter, more airy than perfect blue ever was, which makes for a great movie. Of the two, I preferred Perfect Blue *slightly*, but only because I've got a real fanboy nature for creepy movies .
And my edit to the first post may help explain the plot a bit.
