    I rewatched this movie again, I just can't believe how good it is. Not only is it visually stunning, it is fast, dynamic and has depth.
    The connection between the two brothers (who are strays, and orphans) is touching and powerful.
    I already said too much, just see it.

    La historia es simple y cargada con simbolismos religiosos, pero lo asombroso de esta cinta radica en el detalle y lo hermoso de los esenarios, que cada que se ve la misma toma se pone atencion a distintos detalles, haciendo parecer una pelicula distinta cada que se ve

    just watch and feel.
    then the things or images on ur mind, is the story what it is.
    makes u think so many things about life or death, good or bad,right or wrong,then later let u free from those stuff,i guess,

    Lo repito. Esto es cine de arte que algunos insisten en llamar animación. Si tenemos la suerte de los extras del dvd, no duden en echar mįs de un vistazo y repetir nuestras escenas favoritas. una y otra vez.

    A little strange to me at first. Lots of violence. Maybe I need to see it a second time to make more sense of it...

    This is one of the best animated movies of all time! I've watched it three times, and I think that says everything. It changed some of my views, and I'm fascinated by a power it has.
    All I can say that has sense is - "It is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. "

    I watched in the Jap. ver, cuz kazunari ninomiya is 'Black'. it was confusing at times, but intersting

    The animation has a beautiful digital sleekness and a solid enough story. It draws you in visually, and there is a familiarity in the vocal work (especially the english dubs) that keeps you interested. Tekkon Kinkreet is one of the best Anime films I've seen. I loved it. I was su...( read more)rprised it was directed by a white guy. :P

    Tekkonkinkreet is the first film of a Japanese manga to be written and directed by Americans.

    Using varied approaches to the visuals, it's at times warm, scarey, and exciting.
