Video: Tekkonkinkreet trailer

I stumbled across this DVD this weekend and was very impressed with the visual achievement of this film. Mixing hand-painted CGI with traditional cell animation, the studio behind Tekkonkinkreet have produced one of the most visually immersive animations ever (they also produced Animatrix, which was awesome). This film tackles classic anime themes of dark vs. light, yakuza gangs, orphaned children, brutal violence, and a psychic showdown in some crazy psychedelic dreamworld. When it ended I immediately wanted to watch it again, which almost never happens with me. I'm not saying it makes total sense (How do those kung-fu kids sail through the air? Who is the Minotaur?), but it is light-years more coherent than most anime I have seen.
