no way around it, it's an incredible looking film. it doesn't need it, but it would be cool to see a live action remake. if anything had to be remade, it would be something like this, and seeing Treasure Town again.
I love this show it's my all time favorite and bleachman? asked if there were any shows like this there's a batman short made by the same people its pretty good.
If you're looking for something from Studio 4C (which Tekkon was produced from), I recommend "Memories" which contains 3 separate short anime films in one.
Also, "Genius Party" and "Genius Party Beyond" are really good too, which these films are also comprised of short anime films.
"Memories" is out on DVD in the U.S. (I have a copy I bought in the U.S.), but I don't know if the last 2 has been released on DVD in the U.S. or not so you might need to find some way to get them.
I feel like crying seriously, I JUST bought this DVD, it blowed my entire fucking mind away, now I'm looking for it to lend to friend only to discover I lost it DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD':
you need to buy it again! but this time get the Blu-Ray version!! the picture quality and music quality is insane!!! you can see and hear every little detail!!! :D
@frostymintofdeath understood.... it blew my mind too.... for real.... still does... its one of the best 'come down to earth' fantasies I know.... music obviously empowers that!!! hope you found your dvd!!!
yeah, everything was super detailed except the characters :-/ it didn't really bother me, but I wonder if it was on purpose, because it totally fit with the whole theme of the movie
They're made with just as much skill and effort. Just because they're simple doesn't mean less heart, skill, effort, etc. goes into them. Sometimes simple is better.
Not one thing in this movie lacks skill and effort.
Well, it's studio 4 degrees celsius trademark, in a sense. They have incredibly complex backgrounds as well as a lot of secondary action. And since they still hand paint cels, I imagine that a simple character animates better than a complex one.
While stylistically a fancy character looks nice, it is a bitch to animate well.
That's mostly the case in Japanese animation... The director of this one, Michael Arias, tends to go even a little further. Personally I like a lot the way he draws his characters. Less is more! :p
I actually took a prtsrn of it in movie, Don't know when exactly but It was just a view of the town, And i still haven't seen every thing in that image and that was what like.. 3-4 months ago?,, this movie has the most detail i have ever seen in any animated film. End of story.
When I first saw this, this moment literally took my breath away. It still makes my heart beat fast when I watch it. And the movie just gets progressively better from there for the next two hours. Amazing!
Yeah same!! ive only seen a few animes because i live in the uk but i saw this on Blu-ray and thought i might aswell buy it! and it was Brilliant! the extra few pounds for the Blu-ray versions of films is definatly worth it! :D
Hmm, I tried to post a comment but it didnt seem to work, hopefully this wont be a double post. I was just gonna say no problem, and also you might wanna check out the song "Itsu" by plaid as well. It's kinda similar but more up-tempo (and a bit darker sounding). The video is easily found on Youtube. Hope ya like it.
i saw the special features of this when i rented the DVD, the fact that this beautiful intro was mostly CG was a bit disillusioning but i was still entertained and most anime's been digital since excel saga anyway.
a bit disillusioning? i cant imagine why. it's no less beautiful, and all the textures were painted like the 2d backgrounds were anyway- it wouldnt have been possible without 3d- not on this scale anyway.
Could you send me this opening music, too ? I love this song so much! It really fit the animation. Just watched it yesterday, and by the way,I like weasel(not sure if it's his English name ) the best.XD
i remember a hollywood movie with the bg music kicking...
