    “Tekkonkinkreet” renders the bursting emotional expression of youth through the vivid violence of a surreal cityscape.  Similar to how its district of Treasure Town stacks architecture from across time and space to form a modern Babylon, so too is “Tekkonkinkreet” a movie…

    While I cannot say that TEKKONKINKREET held my interest on a story level, taken purely as a visual experience it's one of the most staggering films I've seen. Nearly every single frame is stunning in some way. It creates a fascinating world that feels completely imagined…

    Dang, I need to watch more anime features. TEKKONKINKREET is based on a manga called BLACK AND WHITE named after the two main characters. Black is about 13 or 14 and is a tough and White is 11 and goofy. Both Black and White will do whatever to protect their city Treasure…

As intriguing and unusual as its title, this anime debut from CGI mastermind Michael Arias bursts with enough ideas for three movies.

Anime enthusiasts will want to take a look, but the film is too uneven to serve as a good introduction to the form.
