First American made anime, based on the Japanese manga by Taiyo Matsumoto. Black and White, two street urchins living in the metropolis of Treasure Town, are forced to act when ruthless developers try to replace the heart of their city with a theme park, contracting local yakuza bosses to clear any potential obstacles in their way. Armed with exceptional fighting skills and the ability to fly, Black and White must thwart the efforts of the gangs and some deadly alien assassins if they are to keep the city they love. A metaphor for the struggle for survival against an ever-advancing tide of commercialism.
