Reviews

I must preface this review by saying that I have never submitted a write-up for a movie before simply because I have never felt the need for my opinion. However, it appalls me that the average rating for Tekkon Kinkreet is a lousy 2.7 stars! I don't know what basis people have for this low score but it's certainly not warranted. I have seen a lot of anime in my lifetime, and I am usually easily moved by such films, but this one in particular has far more charm, emotion, meaning and beauty than the average anime. Simply put, the animation is phenomenal. This is evolution of anime, right before our very eyes. At first, I was hesitant about watching the movie because it appeared as though a gaijin was taking over the reigns for the production. This was needless worrying, as the entire film is 100% Japanese in both narrative and soul. I can only liken the basic feel of the movie as something akin to Grave Of The Fireflies on speed. If you are a fan of great storytelling and beautiful visuals, this movie is for you!
