I was originally going to show Rock'n'Roll Wolf tonight, but then Cuban found an upload of this movie I've been dying to watch for ages, and I found correctly-timed subs for it, so I'm not gonna wait any longer to dig into this Serbian anime. Thanks again, Cuban!

What's the chef cookin' tonight?

Technotise: Edit & I, also known by its original Serbo-Croatian title as Tehnotajz: Edit i ja, is a 2009 anime-inspired sci-fi movie noted for being the first animated feature film produced entirely in Serbia — and I really do mean the first, no "since the breakup of Yugoslavia" or any other catch like that!

Edit & I is a sequel to the graphic novel series Technotise by Aleksa Gajić, who also wrote and directed this movie. Not counting voice actors, Edit & I was made by a skeleton crew of 10~15 people cramped in a small apartment in Belgrade, working on a tight budget of USD 900,000 provided by the Serbian Ministry of Culture, Culture Secretariat of the City of Belgrade, and Erste Bank.

These constraints of budget, staff, and workspace led Edit & I to develop a unique and interesting style combining traditional animation, vector animation, and 3D animation. Much of the animation was done in the program "Moho", which was the same animation program used to make newer episodes of Squirrel & Hedgehog in the DPRK.

All in all, Edit & I is a bit too professional to count as fanime per se, but it's still a marvelous work for the circumstances it was made in, and I'm sure it's gonna be a great time anyways.

Plot description from IMDb:

Belgrade 2074. Edit is a student. After a few failed exams she decides to implant a memory chip... but, something strange starts happening to her.

Scheduled runtime is 90 minutes.

Incidentally, when I first heard of this movie I didn't initially realize that Edit was just the Serbo-Croatian form of Edith.
