In Japan we call this kind of mock-up of a finished frame an “image board” and this was our very first for #Tekkonkinkreet

One of my favorite movies. I adore the style of it 🧡

scarlettfu.bsky.social•26 days ago

Such an incredible film!

lennartbnl.bsky.social•26 days ago

I've seen it so so many times, one of the best! Got my friend the full manga hardcover for his birthday, almost 20 years ago damn

masteranimator.bsky.social•25 days ago

i need to own that one again, i really enjoyed it the first time on dvd.

patchimus.bsky.social•26 days ago

One of my absolute favourites. Had it on DVD long ago, and now can't seem to find it on streaming anywhere

ianmcque.bsky.social•26 days ago

Can recommend the blu ray

patchimus.bsky.social•26 days ago

I'll need to look it up. Slowly building up my collection of physical media again

olsen.bsky.social•25 days ago

Ah these are back in stock...ordered.

ianmcque.bsky.social•25 days ago

👍

ciarandelaney.bsky.social•25 days ago

Picked up Black and White on your recommendation a while back and still love poring over them.

binarymoon.bsky.social•26 days ago

I've bought it but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Am looking forward to it. Book looks great too.

binarymoon.bsky.social•26 days ago

I've got quite a few art books but they tend to focus on characters. I want more about environments and buildings. I really like the cluttered dense look that is in a lot of anime. I also like brutalist architecture.

ianmcque.bsky.social•26 days ago

There are two art books, white side and black side. Both indispensable

tavaki.bsky.social•26 days ago

Is there a bookstore in London for this kind of books?

ianmcque.bsky.social•26 days ago

Doubt anywhere would have them in stock now. But you can order a copy via that link in my post. @paddysbooks.bsky.social are super reliable 👍

tavaki.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yes i know. But i'am from Germany and leaving in a few days the UK. 😅

ianmcque.bsky.social•26 days ago

Ah, ok. Quick google brings up this below. If they don’t stock it perhaps they might know someone who does? Failing that I’m sure you’ll be able to find it online when you get home

tavaki.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thank you. i didnt thought of googleing. I check that out.

playinprogress.bsky.social•25 days ago

also, this books contains a lot of the gorgeous art of several anime movies, tekkon kinkret among them, wonderful book :) https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1057625995

ianmcque.bsky.social•26 days ago

No problem. Good luck!

gartpunk.bsky.social•25 days ago

Was just telling my wife about tekkonkinkreet tonight and then I see this post! Def will be rewatching it this week!

ianmcque.bsky.social•26 days ago

Also recommended (if you’re in the uk @paddysbooks.bsky.social might have these as well)

snartha.bsky.social•26 days ago

Ooh I didn't know there was a Cannabis Works 2!

paddysbooks.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thanks again Ian. You’re number one book pusher as always.

ianmcque.bsky.social•25 days ago

No probs, chief 👊

luisnct.bsky.social•25 days ago

Great books! I have all those except the Muta one.

seecreature.bsky.social•26 days ago

That Koji Orange book is one of my fav books of all time

ianmcque.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yeah it’s a beauty

robbiegoldieart.bsky.social•26 days ago

wow I didnt know about this place, great source! cheers Ian

ianmcque.bsky.social•26 days ago

👍

rhubarbgames.bsky.social•26 days ago

Cheers for sharing mate!

krookedglasses.bsky.social•26 days ago

oohhhh i dont have the book on the bottom left

ramonquestt.bsky.social•26 days ago

Oh no.... 😯

Ian what have you done?!? Now you're really tempting me to go out and get these books. 😂

ianmcque.bsky.social•26 days ago

I’m sorry 😬

kidvector.bsky.social•25 days ago

Just missing Orange, an absolute bugger to track down.

ianmcque.bsky.social•25 days ago

Quite a few used copies on eBay. Not cheap though

kidvector.bsky.social•25 days ago

True. On reflection I should have said, an absolute bugger to track down at anything remotely resembling a reasonable price 😅

ianmcque.bsky.social•25 days ago

Imagine it’s been out of print for years. Probably the only way to get one

kidvector.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yep. Oh well, might just have to be a trip to Japan then! False economy, shmulse economy...

stevenelliscreates.bsky.social•25 days ago

that koji morimoto book is definitely something keep on my wishlist!

michaelarias.net•25 days ago

Thanks for the mention @ianmcque.bsky.social most kind of you. 💓

ianmcque.bsky.social•24 days ago

No worries. Such an inspiration 👍

michaelarias.net•24 days ago

Back at you ✨

curlyjo.bsky.social•26 days ago

Brilliant film, the art style and approach is totally unique and really fits the feel of the story.

I also have the manga and it really shows how much effort the studio put in to match that feel and aesthetic

kilihum.bsky.social•26 days ago

I probably watched it 20 years ago so it's due a re-watch
