In the sprawling metropolis of Treasure Town, two orphaned children, Black and White, spend much of their time warring with local gangs. However, when they anger a yakuza leader planning on tearing down Treasure Town and turning it into an amusement park, they must fight off assassins' in order to save themselves and the town.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Arias' blend of traditional cell animation and 3-D CGI effects is thoroughly mind-blowing, and the film's visual sensibility is utterly distinctive.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
As intriguing and unusual as its title, this anime debut from CGI mastermind Michael Arias bursts with enough ideas for three movies.

A wonder to look at, even as its increasingly pretentious manga-inspired story line outstays its welcome.
63
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Anime enthusiasts will want to take a look, but the film is too uneven to serve as a good introduction to the form.

The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
Demands to be seen, if only for its beauty.
