This is my favourite anime of all time. It is wonderfully animated in a more untraditional style by an US born director who works mostly in Japan. No worlds of skinny supercute girls and hunky boys. This movie roots it properly. It takes you trough sadness, optimism, brotherhood, heroism and a struggle of survival. A movie about life as we know it. With amazing music by Plaid to top this masterpiece you are bound to be touch emotionally in one way or another by this Anime. Tekkon is a must see film, even if you don´t like Animé.
