Discovering the Hidden Beauty and Depth of Taiyō Matsumoto’s Tekkonkinkreet: A Tale of Unity and Struggle in a Vibrant Cityscape
October 7, 2023
The influence of a city is a phenomenal surrounding. Sometimes, I see a resonance and rhythm to it. Wherever, if given close attention, I can sense a vitality nearing consciousness or life of its own. I notice cheers and parades all around: causes and effects. Persisting about my little pastimes in my familiar haunts, I try to quietly yield and observe the outcome of nature’s endless war with the cracks in the concrete, the beauty in it all. Over time, I grow to distinguish relations between them: I learn they are one and I with them. Like the indirect light of the moon from the closest star to the ebb and rising of tides. Or the hue of plant leaves in every season.
My contentment, at times, relies on their courtships as they dance through their phases, calmly sifting less through their differences and embracing the unity and qualia of anticipation for that future next, which arrives into a present now, and fades into the past then. I see patterns and might unknowingly seek comfort in their background familiarity, influencing my thoughts quietly and creating subtle expectations within what I often take for granted. When out of balance, the pendulum swings in the goal to be still. To me, It’s the same as when Yakuza member Suzuki, aka Rat, says to Kimura: “Birth signals the arrival of death…most important, love your wife and child. Because all you need is love.”
It’s difficult to begin describing how beautiful, visually stunning and emotionally resonant Taiyō Mausumoto’s manga Tekkonkinkreet is. It’s almost ineffable for me. Adapted into anime by Studio 4°C and directed by visual effects artist Michael Arias, an anime of its caliber I don’t often find. You can almost tell from every frame that the film must have been a passion project for those involved, and it was. It surprises me with something new I hadn’t noticed before every time I’d watch it. The depth and nuance in the story and its characters are splendorous.
In the plot, all are consumed by a struggle to subdue and bend to their will the island of Treasure Town (with one exception of an old sage and homeless veteran named “Gramps”). Treasure Town is a fictional island where Matsumoto intended it to look like a place where old and new Tokyo of the 1980’s collide and mix with other Western and multinational influences. Located there is an amusement park called “Kiddie Kastle” run by the Yakuza. While Yakuza are vying for greater control of Treasure Town to expand and gentrify the area, increasing their wealth and power, there are many other groups intent on holding them at bay to remain secure their own little piece of Treasure Town turf. Some are just trying to keep familiar the only place they’ve ever known, and this is where our main characters come in.
Among the streets and living underneath the highway in an old run down Subaru 360 are the two homeless children protagonists, Black and White. We follow them as they live about the town subsisting on the Dickensian enterprise of pickpocketing. Their hard-knock life contrasts dramatically with the grand transitory cosmopolis they inhabit, and there is so much visual representation to emphasize this conflict between two very different existences. Treasure Town is seen as a place of persistent development while Black and White eke by within it, domiciled in an unmoved and broken down car. Despite their young struggle, they thrive in themselves by the power of their unity, imagination and dreams.
If you love exceptional anime that has lots of heart, Tekkonkinkreet is where it’s at. It won many awards for best art direction, best original story, best sound editing, and even a Japanese Academy Prize for best animated film. An interesting fact about the art direction (and what I think additionally makes Tekkonkinkreet a visual masterpiece) is that the majority of every frame was hand painted, only after that were the digital visual effects added to bring its immersive quality to life. And the character design animation aimed to hearken back to Matsumoto’s original manga in a way that is so unique and of its own. It arose at a unique time for manga and anime. There aren’t many anime like it, maybe a handful.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage: A Return to Roots on October 5
October 2, 2023
Today, October 5, 2023, one of the most iconic video game franchises is back with a new release, Assassin’s Creed. With the release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Ubisoft Bordeaux takes us on a nostalgic journey, harking back to the series’ origins while introducing exciting new elements.
Available Consoles
Mirage is set to launch on various platforms, ensuring players across the gaming spectrum can partake in its captivating narrative. You can embark on this journey on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Amazon Luna. Additionally, iOS users with the iPhone 15 Pro models can join in the adventure in early 2024.
Basim’s Path to Brotherhood
Set against the backdrop of 9th-century Baghdad during the chaos of Samarra, Assassin’s Creed Mirage tells the captivating story of Basim Ibn Ishaq. Basim, first introduced in 2020’s Valhalla, undergoes a transformation from a humble street thief into a formidable member of the Assassin Brotherhood.
Stealth, Parkour, and ‘Black Box’ Missions
Mirage brings back the series’ signature elements, with a strong emphasis on stealth, parkour, and the return of the beloved “Black Box” mission design, reminiscent of titles like Unity and Syndicate. Players will once again have the freedom to explore their environment and find clever ways to eliminate their targets. It’s a nod to the franchise’s roots, delivering the immersive gameplay that fans have cherished for years.
Baghdad: A Compact World of Rich Detail
The game’s setting, 9th-century Baghdad, may be smaller in scale compared to recent titles, but it’s a world brimming with historical accuracy and vivid detail. Players will navigate four unique districts, including the Round City and the House of Wisdom, and even visit the iconic fortress headquarters of the Hidden Ones, Alamut. This historically accurate rendition promises to be a delight for history buffs and gaming enthusiasts alike.
Assassin’s Arsenal and ‘Assassin Focus’
Mirage equips players with a vast arsenal of weapons and tools, including the iconic Assassin Hidden Blade, smoke bombs, throwing knives, and poison darts. A new skill tree system allows for customization and upgrades, adding depth to the gameplay. Another exciting addition is the “Assassin Focus” ability, allowing players to eliminate multiple enemies simultaneously, a feature recharged through stealth assassinations.
As the game becomes available on Amazon Luna, PlayStation, Windows, Xbox, and iOS (for iPhone 15 Pro models), it’s clear that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is more than just another installment — it’s a return to the roots of storytelling and stealth that have defined this remarkable franchise.

F for Fake Funko: How to Spot a Fake Funko POP!
September 30, 2023
Not all sellers offer legit Funko Pops. Some fans have even bought fake Funkos at conventions. If it’s valuable and collectible, counterfeiters are on it. Sometimes the most avid collectors have unknowingly bought one, later to find they’d been bamboozled. You need to know how to spot a fake Funko, and you’re in the right place to learn how.
Buyer Sword and Shield
The fake Funko’s out there are strikingly similar to the real thing. On where to begin, some of the most effective weapons against being duped are Funko Pop community networks and available apps. I listened to a Pop Collectors Alliance podcast about the problem and they said the best communities to find help are on Facebook and Reddit. If they haven’t already had a FAQ, make a post if you can or message an admin. Even a little help there could make a big difference.
The free Funko app is useful for confirming general information about specific Pops. It has a barcode scan feature where you can see if scanning the one you’re looking at comes up as part of Funko’s product line. In my research, I saw people scan barcodes on fakes and the correct product actually displayed in the Funko app. Others scanned and nothing came up. So, some fakers are managing to fool it, but the app is still a very sound method to verify general info.
If it’s online, try scanning the barcode if the seller has a photo of it. Hopefully they do. If they don’t, ask them if they’ll do two things: 1. Show a photo of the barcode and 2. If they can include a written timestamp note in the photo. If they respond and refuse, it could be a red flag, especially if they’re selling a high value Pop. While this ultimately may not make or break a potential buy, it’s another verification method worth trying.
That said, wherever you’re looking online, look for other indicators related to the seller. Like, where is the seller located? Do they have reviews? How many or how good are they? Is there anything that just seems weird about their profile? This is standard online vetting and important to consider.
Big Indicators: Logo, Font, Colors, Cut Line, Material Weight and Quality
You need to understand what is easier to fake than what isn’t for these frauds. They’re getting better at deception. Understand that the cut of the packaging is a little easier to fake, but pay attention to the overall quality of the box. The packaging on a fake Funko is lower quality most of the time. YouTubers confirm that if you have one in your hands, it can be easy to tell if it’s fake: they’re lighter in weight, different paper used (check the paper color inside the box), etc.
The harder thing to replicate for fraudsters is the color print on the box itself. Look at character graphics, coloring and fonts. It’s in the details — design, position on the box and displayed information. Some examples of fakes show the number at the top right is sized very differently than genuine Funko Pop boxes. These little details make it more clear to veteran collectors they’re looking at a fake. Perhaps the Funko app could help with an example photo of what the official box looks like.
I watched a ton of videos. Most of them agree that the “Pop!” logo on the top left, above the character graphic, is a big indicator. There’s a color gradient (one color changes to another) that’s clearly visible on any authentic box. The top of the “POP!” letters are golden yellow and fade to lighter yellow at the bottom. The middle of the “POP!” logo is where the fade between these two colors really starts to occur. Also, there are tiny dots within the “POP!” color gradient. For the fakes, there is less of a color change. The golden yellow can often be darker and doesn’t fade as much to lighter yellow at the bottom. Sometimes, the little dots aren’t even there.
Magnifying Glass and Microscope
Simply said: the more details fakers have to fake, the harder it is for them to deceive. And they’ve been known to use lower quality material. It’s economical to make fakes with the lowest amount of material cost. They’re not trying to make a better Funko Pop, they’re trying to sell you the lie that it’s genuine! Keep this in mind.
If the Pop isn’t in front of you but posted for sale online, analyze again the seller profile. YouTuber SkittleRampage says he believes Ebay is one of the biggest marketplaces for fake Funko Pops. Again, try to get some more photos that would help you verify what you’re seeing is authentic. Ideally, sellers will post a photo of the bottom side of the box that shows all the info: barcode, factory sticker, even the way a warning label looks can be a big tell they’re fake.
Another thing to keep in mind, Funko has different product lines with different ways of printing their serial numbers. They can be printed on the box, stickered on the box, or even stamped on the box. It’s helpful to find a genuine example to compare with here. Also, while it’s not always a 1 to 1 match, all boxes and figures should match their serial numbers on the bottom of the box to the bottom of the Funko Pop’s foot. If you can verify both, that’s good.
Final Thoughts
The best rule of thumb would be to always avoid overseas shipping. A lot of counterfeit products are shipped internationally from countries such as China. Avoiding international sellers keeps you safe from fraudulent issues down the road after you’ve already paid. Some buyers have lost money this way.
I know I failed to mention price as an indicator, but it’s only because everyone should understand if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Googling the first three words, “If it’s too,” auto-completes the rest of that old adage. Don’t get Wish’d. Poppriceguide.com is a useful site displaying prices you’d expect to find elsewhere. If there’s anything else I missed, what you have here is solid enough to keep you in a safe direction, and below you’ll find a small list of videos I watched in my research.
I want you to find genuine Funko Pop and never have to worry. As a loyal fan-built and operated company, Cooledtured feels the same way. Cooledtured is dedicated and vigilant to provide you authentic brand name collectibles, always listed at fair market retail price. Supporting Cooledtured supports fan communities at large.

Setting the Stage: Saw’s Legacy

It’s time to get ready for “Saw X,” a film that dares to forge new ground while honoring the films that preceded it.
A Dark Tale Between the Lines
“Saw X” introduces a narrative that bridges the gap between the first two films, offering a thrilling throwback to the franchise’s origins. John Kramer, portrayed by Tobin Bell, seeks an experimental cancer treatment in Mexico, only to fall victim to a fraudulent scheme preying on the desperate. Fueled by a newfound purpose, the notorious serial killer unleashes his signature horrors upon the con artists through devious traps.
A Hero in a World of Darkness
Director Kevin Greutert boldly declares that John Kramer will take on the role of the hero in this installment, a stark departure from previous films where he orchestrated sadistic games from the shadows. This shift in perspective promises to provide viewers with a deeper understanding of the infamous character and his motivations.
Exploring the Past: Amanda’s Enigma
“Saw X” also delves into the enigmatic relationship between John Kramer and his apprentice, Amanda Young, played by Shawnee Smith. With their backstory shrouded in mystery, this movie gives an interesting glance into Amanda’s past and how she came to be entangled with wicked Jigsaw.
A Change of Scenery and Unimaginable Horrors
While the Mexican setting adds an intriguing layer to the narrative, fans can rest assured that the heart of the movie remains within the nightmarish chambers of intricate traps and deadly puzzles. With each “Saw” film, audiences have come to expect new, gut-wrenching contraptions that push the boundaries of terror.
With the release of “Saw X” on September 29, 2023, horror fans have every reason to be optimistic about the movie releases for this fall season.
