Balanced between the exhilaration and bitter ugliness, Tekkon Kinkreet is the story of two orphans who serve as the Yin and Yang of a rough city deep into a sort of perverse, mob-driven Disneyfication.
The visual style is uniquely shaky and visceral, the frames packed with motion and rushing skylines with a sort of grotesque charm, and the same can perhaps be said of the motley cast of characters.

Originally published in it tells the story of two street orphans who control their piece of Treasure Town through a cheerful violence. It was for me a life affirming work as I, like Black and White, spent much of my time kicking mobsters in the teeth, hanging out on building tops and wrestling with which fucked up hat to wear.
Fitting restlessly into the company of Oliver Twist and Tom Sawyer with a solid dose of The Five Deadly Venoms, it teaches that you can do whatever the fuck you want, and maybe even get away with it if you don't mind occasionally getting the shit kicked out of you.
Taiyo tells tale with sharp urgent playfulness, always keeping a grip on the two contrasting personalities of the boys, the naive yet insightful White, and the darkly driven Black.
As Treasure Town is enveloped in a slow build fury of deep evil, the innocently vicious duo's connection to the city and its other denizens slowly unravels and the bond between Black and White crumbles.
Does it end the tragedy? One of the best comics ever produced. He wrote a detailed appreciation of Taiyo Matsumoto's work that's worth a read and includes an appraisal of the even more amazing "Go Go Monster.
It deftly balances action and character, employs an eccentric storytelling style that draws on European comics, and has fantastic art that mixes Moebius, Peter Max, and manga.
Inventive and singular, it's also effortlessly enjoyable. I'm not quite as high on it as Chippendale -- the ending felt a bit rushed and simplistic, though I still found myself surprisingly moved.
Bottom line: Matsumoto is a master and more people should be reading him. Dec 04, Adam Wescott rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: manga-lovers who want something different; older teenagers.
Shelves: manga , magical-realism , seinen. White is an eleven-year-old orphan, perpetually innocent but a bit dim. Black is a thirteen-year-old orphan, street-smart but extremely violent and slightly off his rocker.

But when an old yakuza called the Rat comes to town, bringing decay and corruption in his wake, it will take all of White's mysterious powers and Black's waning sanity to come out on top The first thing that hits you about Tekkonkinkreet is the art--no angles, big-eyed protaganists or giant swords here.
Although it may look really unappealing at first--it was to me, anyway--the art eventually grows on you, and as time goes on you begin to realize that there's a heck of a lot of content in each panel.
You can literally read the words on signs from miles away, Treasure Town reaches towards the sky like a crazy Lego castle and the sun and moon change their expression depending on how the characters are feeling.
While this book isn't as bloody as say, Lone Wolf and Cub, it's still kind of disturbing to see Black smashing in the heads of Yakuza, grinning like a demon and spitting out broken teeth.
There's also a bit of nudity although again, nothing as serious as, say, Watchmen and a couple of really bad swear words. While the book may not fully deserve its "M" rating by Viz, it's still not exactly appropriate reading for, say, ten year olds, despite the fact that the protagonists are children.
The violence isn't the point, though; rather, the focus of the story is the relationship between Black and White, which is developed really, really well throughout the series.
At first glance, White needs Black the most; heck, he can't even tie his shoes properly without black helping him. As the series goes on, though, the story continuously forces you to rethink this, and that's part of the fun.

Nobody draws like Matsumoto -- all canted angles, loose lines, and bodies in perpetual motion. He fills his pages with sad men with bad posture, and tough kids with their mouths and their eyes wide open to the world.

Dec 23, Joey Comeau rated it it was amazing Shelves: recommendations. This is one of my favourite comic books. It's surreal and sort of mystical in a way that isn't lame, but is instead psychological and unexpectedly violent.
I was very surprised by this book. This has gone from being a really nice surprise and "one of my favourite comic books" to being my favourite BOOK, period.
Jun 09, Nelson rated it it was amazing Shelves: manga , favorites. A loving story about two street urchins named Black and White.
White is a pure child, innocent, hopeful, playful; while Black takes on most of the responsibility and the darkness of life on the streets.
When yakuza start moving into town and the town starts getting gentrified, every character in the story reacts differently, with some side characters lamenting that the city will never be the same, others trying to take advantage of the situation, but Black takes it personally.
This Masterpiece. This is "his" city and he isn't about to let yakuza take it. White on the other hand, just wants to live happily, and peacefully, with Black.
This explores their relationship to each other and to the city. Nov 17, Parka rated it really liked it Shelves: comics , manga. More pictures at parkablogs.
The title is a pun on "Tekkin" and "Concrete", the Japanese term for reinforced concrete. Just four years before creating Tekkon Kinkreet, Taiyo Matsumoto had traveled to France for artistic research.
The style of art in this book was heavily the French comics he studied there. It's a mixture of French line art with Japanese manga paneling.
The story is about two orphans, Black and White, who More pictures at parkablogs. The story is about two orphans, Black and White, who live in the fictional Treasure Town as they take on the yakuzas trying to take over the city.
They are street kids, known as the Cats. Black is violent and sees it his responsibility to take care of his seemingly innocent brother White. Oh, and these boys can fly, literally.
Just as the names of the kids suggest, this theme is on the light and darkness. It's about how the kids relationship with people around them, having to find the way in their own lives on the streets, most oftentimes ending with violence.
It is a gritty tale about friendship and change. There are no heroes in this book. I actually bought the book after viewing the Blu-ray version of the anime.
The adaptation is quite faithful. In fact, I was underwhelmed by the comic since the anime featured some pretty spectacular background paintings.
The manga is a distilled version of that in terms of art and style. You should read the book first before watching the anime.
The story is simple, really, narrative absorbing. Overall recommended. May 04, Pete Lee rated it it was amazing. This is one of my favorites.
Few people have clashed magical realism with street nihilism the way Matsumoto has. The story centers around two street urchins in a timeless Japanese city, trying to protect it against gentrification brought on by gangsters and aliens?
But it does not feel particularly outlandish or cartoonish because the characters, their speeches, and their struggles were all wonderfully detailed.
The movie that came out this y This is one of my favorites. The movie that came out this year was great as well.

The relationship between Black and White seems ingenuous at first, but soon I learn that their bond is more complex. Doctor: He appears to be in an extreme state of shock.
Gramps: Wrong. You never know how attached is Black to White. If White dies so does Black. Doctor: Huh? But Black has already lost all faith in the living.
Black: I think God is trying to take White away from me. Gramps: That boy is tougher than you think and you are not as though as you think. Sawada: You never ask about Black, why is that?
White: God made people, right? Fat, thin, tall, short people. He made lotsa mistakes. Screws in the heart.
And Black, Black too. Heart srews. Sawada: So God made a mistake with Black? White: Uh-huh! White has them all. Matsumoto mixes injurious scenes with poignant aspects, showing the human side of most characters.
Although the atmosphere is mostly bleak, in the end, it actually fills me with hope. White: When the sky goes black I feel kinda' sad. How come?

The pacing is sometimes off and the narration cryptic, just like the interactions between characters but I guess that's often the case in manga, at least for me.
Cultural differences probably. But it didn't diminished my interest on Extremely violent yet very poetic, a book like none other.
But it didn't diminished my interest one bit. It entertained the surrealist poetry envelopping it instead. The art is very, very different than your regular manga.
Or your regular comic book for that matter. A strange mix of manga, european and even south american style it often somehow made me think of argentinian artist Jose Sampayo.
It's not pretty, it's not always very accurate but it certainly is fascinating. More 4. Oct 01, Vira rated it really liked it. This is the first manga I read, and was wonderful experience.
I Watched lots of anime by now, so I was reading and immediately imagining how this or that would be presented in the anime form.
I was constantly in wonder of the story's density. I could have been looking at a single panel and see the same amount of information and emotion squeezed into it as into dozens of frames in the movie.
Faces, details of environment, sounds written sounds, isn't it weird? As for the story, it was also interesting to follow. As everything unfolded, I got to know about the tight emotional bond between the two, their daily routine taking bath etc.
There is a lot of violence in this manga compared to what I'm used to, like, a lot. Black and white blood is on its own an interesting topic do discuss.
You don't get to see a meaningless extent of violence, but, as another reviewer puts it , " The ending, however, was surprising to me. The whole manga went as a criminal story, unfolding relations between Cats, Rat, police, and others.
But in the end it took somewhat psychedelic turn, and I was left unsure that I got everything right.
Probably, watching the adaptation will help me. Black is strong and so he protects White. But White is the reason that keeps Black alive and sane.
And who knows which one is more important. Sep 05, Michael Scott rated it it was amazing Shelves: thought , graphic-novels , my-favs.

The two live in the streets of a concrete-cum-slum city, which they nevertheless love and try to protect against change.
To do this, they stand off against the corporate world, the mob yakuza , the corrupt police, the local street-gangs, but also their own demons. Tekkon Kinkreet combines masterfully an action-filled manga with thought-provoking elements of soul-searching, friendship, and the meaning of violence.
You will cry when White is hurt and laugh when a tree sprouts in the concrete jungle. You will cringe when Black loses his mind and relax when White is protected by the police.
And if you're like me you will love this book for what it is: a wonderful story about true friendship. Mar 26, Gabriel rated it really liked it.
After watching the movie, I picked up the manga with high hopes. Most of those hopes were shattered in the first few pages.
The storytelling feels disjointed purposefully so, as the different threads of the story are all told at the same time, weaving the different plots through two or three panels on one page , leaving me with that much more work to piece together all the characters and their motivations.
While the movie fixed that problem while jumping around enough to match the manga it was After watching the movie, I picked up the manga with high hopes.
While the movie fixed that problem while jumping around enough to match the manga it was based off of , the movie left out many interesting and important parts that the manga filled in.
Parts like how ruthless White is from the start; how Black gets the wound from the Minotaur; what was happening while White was in custody of the police and how far down Black goes into his madness spiral.
All of these things are hinted at in the movie, but in the manga they are fully developed and make much more sense.
So in the end, the first half of the manga was told in a much better fashion in the movie, but the second half of the movie was done in a much more fully realized way in the manga.
I do recommend reading this if you truly enjoyed the movie since it makes the themes of the movie clearer and also helped me better appreciate the details of the movie, since many of them were taken straight from the manga.
This is one of those books, like Fight Club where the movie and the book are great complements to each other, each one being so close to the other that it is hard to tell which interpretation print or film is best suited to the story.

Violent, but heartbreaking. Aug 28, Mayank Agarwal rated it it was ok Shelves: manga. I was expecting a lot from it being the most popular of Taiyo Mastsumoto's work but disappointed.
As with all his works, he experiments with Art. It's unique and ugly. Not to my liking. By the time I took to it, the manga was over.
The story about the two kids having polar personalities living in the crime-filled town seems meaningless in the beginning but as you start Volume 3 it starts making sense.
As soon as I really started to enjoy the writing in Volume 3 things got confusing for me with the identity of the Minotaur.

Kuro and Shiro Japanese for Black and White veer from roof to roof and from surreal, bloody encounters to those strangely endearing; it's best though when these collide into something new and powerful.

Legitimately hard to read when I'm so used to translated manga in its proper direction. Interestingly, the flow of the paneling isn't exactly ruined, but there are many parts that make it hard to tell whether the book was completely "flipped" or otherwise did "Boys will be boys.
Interestingly, the flow of the paneling isn't exactly ruined, but there are many parts that make it hard to tell whether the book was completely "flipped" or otherwise did the cut-rearrange-paste thing to simulate original panel order.
I guess I'll have to flip through a Japanese copy, but I don't feel like doing so, and I already own this American left-to-right version, so fuck it.
I view Michael Arias's anime film as one of the greatest works in the anime medium tied with Satoshi Kon's Paprika from the same year, actually.
I don't know why, but it took a long while to get to this manga. The film came out in , I probably didn't see it until , I bought the DVD in , watched it a few more times since, and watched Yuasa's Ping Pong show adapted from another Matsumoto manga in , whereupon I realized retroactively making me feel stupid that Tekkonkinkreet was by the same guy behind Ping Pong, having felt something "familiar" about the art direction of Yuasa's anime, distinct as it was from his previous work.
And so I bought the manga, and just had it sitting on my floor somewhere in a stack of other shit for like eight months Those familiar with the Ping Pong anime should except "rough"-looking artwork.
Those familiar with the Tekkonkinkreet film may be somewhat surprised to see the differences between Matsumoto's original and Arias's adaptation; namely, the linework is much thinner and cleaner in the film, and the colors well, plainly, there -is- color are more vibrant than the "sketch"-y black-and-white of the manga, perhaps "apt" because of the names of our heroes.
This is the thing: Taiyou Matsumoto's art is kinda-sorta "bad. Attack on Titan, ditto. Personally, I love it because it feels more "genuine," "sincere," what-have-you.
One's ability to not only respect Matsumoto's art, but to love and "vibe with" it are key to enjoying this manga on a level deeper than just appreciation for its narrative an idea that may easily be dismissed by choosing the film instead.
It's been a few years since I've last seen the film I plan to re-watch it soon, now that I've finally read the manga , so I can't quite recall every detail from the plot, and thus cannot tell if there is really anything here that is not in the adaptation.
My guess would be that Arias and company did well to fit everything from here into there. As a result, the question would be whether one prefers the manga or the film, which would ultimately fall to the distinction between Matsumoto's "direction" versus that of Arias.
I like the film largely because it is kinda-sorta nostalgic for me by now, on top of being a great work of cinema-level animation. The manga is likewise a great manga, but most emotional beats in the text seem to actually hit me through the lens of my recollection of the film-adaptation counterparts, and it is generally difficult for me to divorce this manga experience from my several engagements with the film.
I think I'd have to re-read this over and over, equaling if not surpassing my film-view count, in order to further appreciate this manga, essentially bludgeoning myself with it until I become too intimately entangled with the manga to ever be able to say I do not love it this is generally how I act with music, for example, keeping CDs in my car for months at a time to kinda-sorta "force" myself to like the albums better.
When I experience new Art, my primary aim is to find something "unique" about the work, something that gives a reason for its existence. For Arias's film, it would be the idiosyncratic artstyle of Matsumoto's manga as filtered into the colorful world of a big-budget anime film, with animation and direction seemingly "better" than most other anime as if the quality is tied to the director's Western origin, being an Outsider from the common anime industry, and thus not "used to" the corner-cutting common to many anime.
And of course you have the soundtrack by Plaid. For Matsumoto's original manga, the difference would be its greatness -as a manga-, which I would say is largely indebted to its "alternative" feel, leaning perhaps more to a Jhonen Vasquez look than Daniel Clowes, actually kinda really resembling Charles Burns's Black Hole a little bit.
Historically, "manga" was a cartoonish artform see: Astro Boy, Kimba , which spun-off the more "adult" form of "gekiga" Black Jack, Buddha, to continue the Tezuka examples.
Over time, "manga" started seeing more quasi-realistic proportions, and you had guys like Go Nagai blending "manga" with "gekiga" to the point that "gekiga" stopped being "a thing" and "manga" just evolved to not be so kiddy-looking.
If HxH and Girls' Last Tour are some of my favorite manga because their artists can draw real beauty under the thin veil of wonky art, the same must be said of Matsumoto as well, only with the aforementioned "catch" that I'm just too used to Arias's film to give ultimate credit to the source material here.
Which is definitely unfortunate, but, again, the only thing I can do is keep reading and re-reading this until I love it more.
So, anyway, to get into the "meat" of the manga, this is largely the story of Black's will, and how his desire to protect White may cause White's own life to go to shit.
There is an assumption that Black and White are literal fraternal brothers, but their past remains largely untouched, aside from the basic idea that they live together in an abandoned car, and they know The Rat and the cop guy.
Regardless of blood relation, Black feels responsible for White's life. Unfortunately for White and we see this through the cops' eyes , Black leads a life of violence, jumping from rooftops to mug people, living on his earnings through his brutality.
White is involved in the violence insofar as he follows Black, and must therefore beat people up lest he be beat up himself. Black makes a name for himself, people see White with Black, people seek out White to use him as a hostage to get to Black.
And of course we catch wind of "The Minotaur," a psychic manifestation of Black's bloodlust, an imaginary entity that seems to take over Black's body when pushed to the brink of consciousness, an avatar of Black's drive to protect White which ironically believes itself to be a god of violence that threatens to overwrite the love for White in Black's mind, quelled as The Minotaur eventually is by Black's brotherly love.
I think between this and like Madoka Magica: Rebellion I just have a thing for Japanese media that shows an Individual's egoistic focus transforming itself into a quasi-"evil" body of its own, and then writing about it like these extreme cases of libertarian egoism are "good things" despite their parallels to like Satan and shit.
The caveat, I guess, would be that Black actually manages to "control" The Minotaur through his more-selfless love of White, kinda-sorta absorbing The Minotaur back into himself, taming its power, not unlike e.
And, anyway, it ends with something like a happy ending, which is good because I was sitting over here not able to remember if White died and I'm reading this like "oh fuck" because The Minotaur is beating the shit out of everyone and I'm struggling to remember what it was exactly that made Black cool his jets.
Good shit. Nov 06, Smith rated it it was amazing. I saw the parts of the movie but didn't know what was happening at the moment. I loved the style of the setting and decided to watch it later.
I picked up the book first, however, and the art tempted me to put it back down again. I was inclined to overcome it after reading a few random phrases from the manga that I liked.
I decided to give some of it my time. Turns out I gave it ALL my time. I ended up finishing it in 3 hours.
Surprisingly, I was admiring the art after finishing each page. Now I I saw the parts of the movie but didn't know what was happening at the moment.
Now I have great respect for Taiyo Matsumoto. There is countless symbolism in the manga, the core being Black and White, and then the city itself.
Their violent natures amused me - is that what a city can do? Because Black and White are the product of Treasure Town and no matter how vile the city is, the two orphans are keen on saving it from renovation.
I think of pirates. Stolen riches contained within a chest that is the source of greed and therefore a pursuit in order to unearth it.
It may not exist, or it might, but what's the cost of searching? WHat's the use in protecting it? I watched the movie after a couple of months and the impact it had on me was less so than the manga.
The movie's still good, just not Matsumoto-like. I mean there are some things that can't be equally expressed in colour and animation when it is originally created in Black and White.
Tekkonkinkreet is an example of this for me. I admire both works which capture the essence of violence in a poetic and admirable way. Mar 15, Damon rated it it was amazing.
A masterpiece, and I don't say that lightly. I can't believe that there isn't more stuff by Matsumoto available in English - his work is totally unique in manga, and in comics in general, combining a heavy European influence with a very Japanese style, he manages to create books that have a feel completely different from anything else out there.
I also can't believe that I wasn't going to read this, and when I read part of it previously, I wasn't that impressed in my defense, though, it Amazing.
I also can't believe that I wasn't going to read this, and when I read part of it previously, I wasn't that impressed in my defense, though, it was the 3rd of 3 parts, and I didn't even realize how little sense it made at the time until I just finished reading it again after the rest of the book.
The story here is surreal at times, grounded by some gritty gangster action, but offset by weird fantastic sci-fi elements and a surprising mix of genuine human emotion from unexpected sources in the story.
And tons of violence all the more shocking because so much of it is perpetrated by or against the "Cats" - the kids who are the main characters. My head's all over the place in trying to write a coherent review, because there's so much here that deserves praise or mention, but really this is an epic book.
I had to constantly fight the ever-annoying-to-others urge to stop and point out every detail that made it brilliant. Feb 13, Deb rated it really liked it Recommends it for: people who sing "the world is a vampire" under their breath and aren't referencing Buffy.
This is a non-traditional manga set in a pre-apocalyptic Japanese city called Treasure Town; it starts right before the apocalypse happens, even though there's no official threat of one.
It's about a city that is passing on and two kids who take living in the midst of it all to be the same as breathing. The phrase "this is MY city" comes up quite a bit.
The reason why this book is so good, though, is that it starts out with two main characters: kids named Black and White. You think you immediatel This is a non-traditional manga set in a pre-apocalyptic Japanese city called Treasure Town; it starts right before the apocalypse happens, even though there's no official threat of one.
You think you immediately understand the story arc: evil vs. It doesn't always make sense. There's quite a bit of blood and violence.
But the parts that makes this book good are the parts that make any book good -- and I love it when an author allows even minor characters exactly the right amount of room to breathe.
I really liked it, but gave the story 4 stars because everything hasn't sunk in enough yet and I'm dazed from the reading. Maybe that's reason enough to give it five.
This is going to be re-read a few times more, the movie I didn't know existed until I read the forward will be watched, and I'll sink a little deeper into my city in the meantime.
Apr 17, Nate added it. The most striking thing about Tekkon Kinkreet is the art. Storywise, this was a grower for me. It had to be. Mat The most striking thing about Tekkon Kinkreet is the art.
Matsumoto takes his time revealing the overarching plot, slowly sprinkling in details about our two main characters. Also, one of these characters speaks in a sort of gibberish that made it difficult to penetrate the story at first.
But once everything got rolling I was captivated. This is a uniquely told and paced story, with kinetic action and heartfelt, beautiful moments coexisting.
Matsumoto admirably lets his art tell the story most of the time. There are no discussion topics on this book yet.

During one of their "missions", they take on thugs and Kuro ends up beating up three Yakuza gang members who are menacing a street gangster friend of his.
Snake plans to tear down and rebuild Takaramachi as a theme park to fit his own goals and dreams. When Kuro interferes once too often, Yakuza are sent to kill him, but fail.
Angered, Snake then sends the deadly "three assassins" known as Dragon, Butterfly, and Tiger, near-superhuman hitmen, to finish the job.
In order to save Kuro and himself, Shiro has to kill the first assassin Dragon by tipping gasoline and setting it alight, burning him alive.
The second assassin Butterfly pursues Shiro and stabs him with a samurai sword. Shiro is then sent to the hospital. The police, who have been watching both Snake and the two youngsters, decide to take Shiro into protective custody "for his own good", while Kuro watches Shiro go knowing he would be too hard to look after while being hunted.
Kuro later falls into a depressive state. While Kimura fulfills his mission, he is deeply shocked by having murdered his mentor.
Summoned once again by Snake, Kimura rebels and kills the Yakuza boss, before attempting to flee with his pregnant wife from Takaramachi.
He is gunned down in a drive-by shooting by Snake's men. While the police feel it is for the best for Shiro to remain with them outside Takaramachi, Shiro feels empty without Kuro there for support.
In parallel, without Shiro, Kuro soon begins to lose grip on reality and allows his violence to consume him. He soon develops a split personality, with his dark side manifesting as the "minotaur".
Things reach a climax when Shiro is brought back to Takaramachi by one of the officers and taken to a local fair.
There, a delusional Kuro is trying to show people that "Shiro", in reality a mocked-up doll, has returned to life. When Kuro is attacked by Snake's two remaining assassins, the doll is damaged and Kuro flies into a murderous rage, killing the assassins.
It is then that he is confronted by the real Shiro, and is forced to fight the "minotaur", who wishes to completely consume him. Kuro manages to triumph over his dark side and reunites with Shiro, last seen playing in the beach.

Jason Henderson of Mania. He noted Matsumoto's influence by French comics and writing, and how he was able to create a "truly remarkable story that mixes Japanese sensibility with a European look and pace".
Brady of Manga Life , gave the series an "A" grade. Brady praised the series for its unique and expressive artwork, stating that it is more like something seen in independent American or European comics than in standard manga, also comparing his style to Western artists Brandon Graham , Corey Lewis and Bryan Lee O'Malley.
He also wrote that the relationship and character of the main protagonists is very believable, despite their superhuman acrobatic and fighting abilities.
Brady concluded: "It's a rich book that you can pore over absorbing at all the content". Garrity wrote: " Tekkon Kinkreet is one of the most visually stunning comics I know.
Matsumoto can draw the hell out of anything, and the warped, kinetic, graffiti-influenced style he uses here is perfect for the loopy action-packed story".
Garrity added that it also got a strong story, and the two central characters are "surprisingly lovable and touching", and that their "odd, clumsily affectionate, ultimately powerful relationship" is the core of the manga.
About the art style, he wrote that it does not fit anything exactly, and "it gives a feel of grunge, cyber-punk , and our confusion over the separation of ourselves from nature — or whether a cityscape could now be described as nature to humankind".
A mature work worth giving a chance to entertain you". Regarding Matsumoto's artwork, he wrote that it could be "an acquired taste for some, but I also doubt anyone that gets into it will ever want to let it go".
Luster concluded: " Tekkonkinkreet is a mighty achievement that should be inspirational to artists and just plain absorbing to anyone else.
Aoki was less enthusiastic about Matsumoto's artwork, and wrote that his dreamlike vision of a Japanese city "chaotically" defies the laws of perspective, and it is like "Las Vegas on acid".
Nonetheless, she affirmed that the main appeal of the series is its story and "how it touches the heart"; "two orphans become symbols of a struggle between opposing opposites: innocence and corruption, hope and cynicism, imagination versus reality".
Chris Beveridge, writing in Mania , declared: "While it may not be what anime fans have come to expect for a traditional film, the end result is something that while predictable is surprisingly engaging.
