Tekkon Kinkreet

Two Stray Cats, Called Black And White

tekkonkinkreet Is a movie about two kids in the midst of a changing city, And how adults have to face the changing times.

tekkonkinkreet starts off great, We get a look into the youthful characters, and how city is a jungle for the youth, soon we get a feeling that it is changing.

How is the two main character black and white need each other to work and function. How white is the purest being on earth and need to protecting. But still hasn't understanding of things, beyond his years. black that looks like the most mature in the beginning, but ... Needs Somebody to protect and take care of, to not crumble as a person.

they relationship and bond is so interesting to see, it is the Foundation of the movie.

One thing movie do really well is, how would the more dark and scummy part of the city, is actually where the more warm and human side of the city is, where the poor and the outcast are. the new city they are building is cold and clean, A place for the wealthy and nobody else.

Animation is smooth, maybe the characters not the most detailed, But they gain fluidity instead, and the backgrounds are so detailed. the animators constantly play with the animation, to make it look like there's a camera filming it, it looks good a gives a more lively feeling to the whole movie.
The movie is just really good a make fun and dynamic camera angles.

The soundtrack is some nice and the sound effects are brutal and sound impactful.

amazing world designs and backgrounds you can truly be absorbed in.
We rarely see this kind of anime movies anymore, so I would recommend it. It is strange and weirds in some parts, but the ideas are strong.

Likes:
Plot- Very elaborate. The writer was honest. If words were mentioned they had reason and purpose. Some writers fill up time with words not this writer. You will not feel like you watched a mystery with your W questions. And since this was a kid p.o.v. the art had a certain flare that matched the plot.

sound- was on key and right actors and the right parts.

Dislikes:
art- Sadly, the are was not realistic. Had the art would have had more detail to make it look like an actual person and not just a drawing more things would have happened. More ... comion could be drawn, more loss of imagination. A good way of putting it is like Pablo Picasso. A world famous artist. Whom made his work on abstract (different from the norms) thinking. It is unique because it is different. Although, faces do not go that way. At least those whom did not engage in a battle and won easily. This was animation the goal is to come close enough to reality to provide a connection with the viewer. I understand a possible reasoning such as plot but still.

DIRE AND DISMAL ANIME SHOCK HORROR
(contains spoilers)

I’ve been watching anime since 1970 when “Marine Boy” first came to Western audiences, so I’d like to think I have some experience to draw upon when criticizing this effort.

THE ART: Studio 4°C, who produced this anime, have a “unique style” ), say the fans - but "Tekkon" looks, to me, like one of the ugliest animes ever.
What’s so bad about the artwork?
It resembles the closeups you would see on “Ren and Stimpy”, where the POV goes up one of the MCs nostrils, showing us snot, nasal hairs, and other unsightly things you never planned on seeing.
Studio ... 4°C may have some rep for being daring, taking chances, etc, but this was my first encounter with their output, and I’m not impressed so far. By a roundabout comparison, the composer, Stockhausen, is also said to have a “unique style”, but his work is, for the most part, unlistenable cacophony... which brings us to the soundtrack, voice actors, foleys, etc:

THE SOUND: Music was OK-ish, but be warned - have a remote control to hand if you are going to sit this one out...
The second half of this OVA will have any sane person reaching for the volume control as the mentally-ill half of the two brothers gets captured, and then starts screaming - and he just doesn’t stop screaming.
FFS, Studio 4°C, the little guy was enough of an assh*le without all the screaming. The animal-like noises coming from the TV completely alienated me from what was already a horribly unlikable character.
I started rooting for the bad guys at this point, and wished they would simply euthanize him quickly and (most important of all) quietly.

For what it's worth, I never chose this to watch, my GF recorded it from TV and I was a captive audience (and she didn't like the screaming either).

SUMMARY: Avoid it like a radioactive zombie plague rat with Super-Coronavirus.
