Tekkonkinkreet is aurally and visually impressive, but the story is a little harder to follow than would have been ideal – you need to put in some effort to get the most out of it, although if you do that it can be quite rewarding to watch. As an early example of what being made with high-definition in mind can do for anime, it's definitely worth a look as a title to show off, but as a story it's a bit of a missed opportunity.
