About this movie

In Treasure Town, where the moon smiles and young boys can fly, life can be both gentle and brutal. This is never truer than for our heroes, Black and White, two street urchins who watch over the city, doing battle with an array of old-world Yakuza and alien assassins vying to rule the decaying metropolis. TEKKON KINKREET is a dynamic tale of brotherhood that addresses the faults of present day society, true love lost, and the kindness of the human heart. © 2006 Taiyo Matsumoto/Shogakukan, Aniplex, Asmik Ace, Beyond C, dentsu, TOKYO MX.

Ratings and reviews

I like to judge the emotional maturity level of my friends by how well they understand this masterpiece. No corny sentimentality, no cliche'd to death tropes. Beautiful in art and tragedy.

I didn't expect much from this movie at first, but it ended up being fantastic. Very deep and beautiful. Gave me feels.

Gut-wrenching, hopeful, tangible. real, painfully beautiful and human. An emotional rollercoaster, and an epic work of art that touches the soul.
