Made a vow to use @krita.org 😬 instead of #photoshop 🤢 for the next 6 months. Is that wrong? 😑

Isn’t this the fun part? 😑 I used to use Scorcese storyboards for Taxi Driver and Raging Bull in lectures. Why would you ever ask AI to do this for you?

COME ON MAN, IS NOTHING F-ING SACRED!?!?!?!?! deadline.com/2026/06/zack...

Some early #TEKKON sketches by character designer / animation director (作画監督) Shojiro Nishimi. I was introduced to Sho after finding his work on the studio copy machine. I had just read JULIUS KNIPL and was impressed that he was a fellow fan of Ben Katchor (!) #anime #sakuga #nishimi #西見 #鉄コン

To mark its 20th anniversary, a 4K remaster of Tekkon Kinkreet is showing in North American theatres on May 31st & June 1st. We had a mind-blowing time scoring it and loved being part of the wonderful team that made this beautiful film! @michaelarias.net @gkids.com gkids.com/films/tekkon...

See you there! 😬

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of TEKKONKINKREET, now beautifully remastered in 4K. Two kids must save the futuristic Treasure City from the schemes of a sinister yakuza, who wants to demolish the degenerate city and replace it with a gargantuan amusement park. 🏙️ Plays 5/31–6/1 @ SIFF Uptown.

Our first #Tekkonkinkreet layouts — to be finished w colors, contours, painted BG, and test our signature brown lines (茶トレース) and mottled colors (塗りむら) #鉄コン #AmerBeton #anime #アニメ #4k @gkids.com @plaidmusic.bsky.social 4K remaster in 🇺🇸🇨🇦 theaters 5/31~6/1 🥂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hh6...

Love seeing this Tekkonkinkreet poster at AMC. Excited for @michaelarias.net that the 4k is getting a big screen release here!

Don't forget the upcoming stop-motion feature film "Sunny" by Michael Arias & Dwarf Studio, based on Taiyo Matsumoto's manga. It has already been 5 years since the pilot was produced.

10 days left before the limited 4K release of "Tekkonkinkreet" in North American theaters (Michael Arias / Studio 4°C).

Eisner jurors, you know what to do 💙

Gotta love that we’re rated R in the US but G in Japan 😬 gkids.com/films/tekkon... #tekkon #anime

Another nice example of @mitchosias.bsky.social sound design. Working with Mitch and @plaidmusic.bsky.social to create the sonic universe of #Tekkon was uniquely intense and exciting. #sfx #soundeffects #sounddesign #foley COMING SOON gkids.com/films/tekkon... 🎉

Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse Feeling inspired. I guess I missed this doc when it came out but it’s great.

Their bond is the only thing that can save their town. 💥 TEKKONKINKREET from Michael Arias and STUDIO4ºC returns to theatres May 31 & June 1 in a brand new 4K remaster to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Tickets on sale now. brnw.ch/21x1U3C

This scene is a great example of @mitchosias.bsky.social sound design. Mitch has gone on to do super work @ WB since he and @plaidmusic.bsky.social created the #Tekkon sonic universe. Great friend, great 👂 #sfx #soundeffects #sounddesign #foley COMING SOON gkids.com/films/tekkon... 🎉

5/8 Taiyō’s Picture Diary: “The anime Tekkonkinkreet — which Director Mike and the whole wonderful crew made — is back in theaters for a revival run! Reuniting with Kuro and Shiro like this every so often makes me happy too. <Taiyō>” One day I’ll get him on bluesky 💭 #Tekkon #Taiyo #Manga #Anime

Gotta get a new player... 😬

New York friends! @japansociety.org and @gkids.com are hosting a special premiere screening of our 4k remaster of #Tekkonkinkreet to celebrate our 20th Anniversary 🎉 Screenwriter Anthony Weintraub will be there answering questions! 🤓 japansociety.org/events/tekko...

Two beautiful keyframes by the brilliant Shinji Hashimoto. Shinji contributed just two or three shots, but every drawing is really special, bursting with life. #Tekkon #鉄コン #anime #アニメ #橋本晋治

20 years...! American friends, if you haven't seen #Tekkon in a theater, this is your chance. It looks and sounds great (and way better than it ever did on 35mm). #anime #アニメ #鉄コン

Faces in things

#WeAreTheBest makes me want to be reborn as a Swedish teen girl in the 1980s

Scene 2 shot 55 cel A36 Shiro / Kuro atop the "Talkie" building. XL layout needed because the shot is an extreme track-back from a close-up (sheets were taped together to create a double-height sheet). Animated by Animation Sup. Masahiko Kubo. #TEKKON #鉄コン #anime #アニ

I’m just so in awe of Chie Uratani… #tekkon #animatrix #anime #animator

There’s poetry in these auto-magic transcripts of Japanese voice messages. Way more interesting than if they correctly represented the originals.

Godhead!!! Buy this!!!!

Hey folks, #Tekkonkinkreet at @vidiots.bsky.social the coolest little theater in California (possibly the world!!!) Wednesday May 6 7:30PM vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/tekko...

#Tekkonkinkreet scene 4 cut 35: two great keyframes by the great Chie Uratani, in charge of many Shiro-centered scenes. These were among selects handed out to animators new to the project. I’m just in awe of Uratani-san. Otherworldly talent. #Tekkon #鉄コン #anime #アニメ #Uratani #浦谷

#Tekkonkinkreet Shiro and Kuro pose galleries by our brilliant character designer / lead animation supervisor (作画監督) Shojiro Nishimi. These, as well as selected layouts, were handed out to animators new to the project. #Tekkon #鉄コン #anime #アニメ #Nishimi #西見

Shinji Kimura's great Snake HQ designs owe something to Leb Woods' vision of "The New City" with all its weird-o alien geometries. HQ is topped off by a globe with a spinning interior (why—because it's cool?). I made 3d model to animate BG and guide BG layouts #Tekkon #鉄コン #architecture #木村真二

Experimental architect Lebbeus Woods' "The New City" was a touchstone when designing Snake's HQ. In the manga, Snake's HQ is Kiddie Kastle (子供の城) itself. I wanted HQ to be distinct from Kiddie Kastle so that we could follow construction of the latter. #Tekkon #鉄コン #architecture #Taiyo #松本大洋

となりのトロロ 😬

Next time I promise to be more coherent! Post-screening discussion of #Tekkonkinkreet thanks to @uclaftvarchive.bsky.social and @giantrobot.bsky.social for making me feel so welcome ♡ www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aYe... #鉄コン @plaidmusic.bsky.social #anime #animation
