As the director says: "I wanted to make the city of Treasure Town (Takaramachi) the star of the movie", and as a background painter myself I have to say I think he succeeded.

Very useful. I've slipped a note up the chimney to Santa Claus. We'll see if it pans out well. Here's an example of USA v. UK pricing:- TekkonKinkreet on DVD in the USA: $2.50 on eBay, while in the UK it's still £19.99 on the HMV website. ($40 US dollars) No wonder this country is called "Treasure Island" by importers. Pshaw! Thanks for those ISBNs, Luc. Very useful. I’ve slipped a note up the chimney to Santa Claus. We’ll see if it pans out well.

Very nice stuff indeed. As for the movie itself, it is a bit of a mixed bag, but I still liked it. Cheers. Hi Michael,
