Rintaro is the pseudonym of Hayashi Shigeyuki (January 22, 1941 -), a director of anime.
Rintaro remarks that it would be difficult to make a retro-futuristic movie about robots and a big city without mirroring some aspect of the Lang's classic, but the plots and characters of the two Metropolis films stand on their own without reference to one another.
Rintaro's robot girl existed in the manga not as a daughter, but as a son named Michi, and became Tima only in Otomo's screenplay.
Rintaro: I had directed some of the early episodes of Astro Boy, and I'm interested in the science fiction/fantasy-type story elements of manga, so I felt that Metropolis was the perfect adventure for me to direct as my next feature film.
Rintaro: To actually make that retro-futuristic city, I could just use traditional animation, but the reason that I wanted to use the newest technology was to show that, when you watch Metropolis, there are actually two different worlds: the ground-level society and the underground society.
Rintaro: The most difficult thing in terms of combining cel animation and digital images was that, when you mix these two elements, the digital part is inevitably going to stand out.
