While packing for a move, elementary school student Ryuuhei finds his father's old school notebook detailing a search for a treasure in Tokyo's vast network of underground passages. With his little brother tagging along, he and three friends from an online chat room gather and set out on a quest to find the treasure. What they discover instead is an entire underground community composed of assorted eccentrics, including a senile old soldier still performing a World War II-era mission.

Where it came from
Shin SOS Dai Tokyo Tankentai, also known as New SOS Great Tokyo Exploration Party, was produced by Sunrise and released in 2007. Created as a short film, it served as a collaborative project directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, the visionary artist behind Akira. The production was intended as an experimental, standalone feature that leaned into a whimsical, lighthearted adventure aesthetic, distinguishing it from the dense, gritty sci-fi themes Otomo is most frequently associated with.
The film's visual design relies heavily on traditional animation techniques that emphasize character expression and dynamic movement through Tokyo's urban landscape. Otomo brought together a team of animators who focused on a story centered around a group of children exploring their city, capturing a sense of nostalgic wonder. Upon its release, it was noted by critics for its artistic fluidity and its departure from typical sunrise-style action narratives, garnering a quiet appreciation within animation circles for its technical execution and charm.
