Tezuka works are always wild, and it is hilarious how modern remakes have to give them a coherent story structure that his works just seem to reject. From an old review of Unico:
"Then you get into the stories themselves, and Tezuka, being Tezuka, cannot stop having ideas. Weird ideas. Sometimes Unico lands in a fairly coherent fairy-tale narrative, helping some kind, sickly peasant girl. Other times he's in the future, fighting a sapient robotic factory that wants to take a girl who appears to be about six years old as its bride. Or chatting with two talking rats in clothes who look like they got thrown off the set of Disney's Cinderella for looking too seedy and are constantly giving birth to litters of baby rats. Or visiting the land of the fairies to dance in soap bubbles. Or shrinking to miniature size to infiltrate an anthill and retrieve a magic feather. Or…wait, this all happens in the same story."
