By: peter w- August 15, 2008 For me, Tekkon Kinkreet is remarkable in that both the original manga and the film are obsolutely astonishing for similar and yet also quite different reasons. For almost anyone who has scant evidence that comics can actually outgun the novel as a published form, Tekkon is, I think, that rare example. Equally, anyone left cold by animation in general, maybe doubting its ability to present a genuinely mature and layered drama, need look no further than its filmic sibling. Probably the best...http://www.linesandcolors.com/2008/08/13/tekkon-kinkreet-background-art/#comment-546379 By: Fabio Lai- August 14, 2008 OMG, these backgrounds are simply amazing!http://www.linesandcolors.com/2008/08/13/tekkon-kinkreet-background-art/#comment-544946 By: Scott Watanabe- August 13, 2008 These books are great, one called Kuro(Black) and one called Shiro(White). The Kuro book is concept sketches of the backgrounds and Shiro is the background paintings. Both great books and can be found on various websites as well as kinokunyia as Tom mentioned. If your around the bay area theres one in SF Japantown and San Jose.
