SOS! Tokyo Metro Explorers: The Next
Search for the "treasure" that rests in the Tokyo underground!
A group of children unlock the entrance to the unknown. A new standard for the future of 3D anime!
Fifth grade student, Ryuhei, discovers a notebook containing the Tokyo Exploring Records, a text written by his father. Together with his friends, he forms an exploration team, heading into a manhole to find a world that goes beyond imagination. With a thorough knowledge of the Otomo world, the staff of Steamboy took Katsuhiro Otomo's short manga and fully demonstrated their ability to make it into a 3D anime. Otomo even praised the anime saying, "It made me feel lucky to be the original author."

To be honest this is not what I was expecting. I knew it was from the same guys who brought us Steamboy ... but this is quite different. This is a short story on a group of kids who are looking for a so called Tokyo Underground Treasure. There are a few things which I found interesting ... in only 40 mins you truly get to know who the characters are ... you actually get attached to them ... also, there are a lot of messages about our society but without being struck on the head with them ... and it's all in computer animation. Is it a masterpiece ? ... no ... but a swell 40 mins though.
