"In Treasure Town, life can be both peaceful and violent. This is never truer than for our heroes, Black and White - two street kids who claim to traverse the urban city as if it were their own. But in this town, an undercurrent of evil exists and has its sights set on the pair of brothers, forcing them to engage in battle with an array of old-world Yakuza as well as dangerous assassins vying to rule the decaying metropolis, Treasure Town." (plot summary from the back of the box)
Tekkonkinkreet is one of the best anime movies ever. The story of Black and White originated as an awesome Manga. It's film adaptation is a visually stunning experience. I got very emotionally involved when I watched it for the first time. I could feel the excitement and turmoil as if I was on those streets, and rooftops, with them. I laughed with them, and cried with them. If you haven't seen this anime yet, you need to move it to the top of your list.
