Ah, well that was a misinterpretation of what you wrote then, at least on my part. In my focusing on the flaw of episode 4 that most bothered me -- the actual art style, not the animation -- I assumed that's what you were talking about in the review's context. I didn't acually notice much of a difference in animation quality in episodes 4 or 9. I guess that shows where my visual priorities lie. |

The differences are minor, granted, but I still think I like ADV's cover slightly better. The identical shot being used in both cases seems to imply a carry-over from a Japanese release. Even if that's the case, I stand by my comments that it's a dull picture given the over-the-top nature of the series' early episodes. |

Some of the future covers have some better pics, though I actually like the "quiet" cover more than the "spiral" one (looks a little too gimmicky and busy). I was pretty surprised to see that someone didn't like the score for the show. It was one of the aspects a lot of people seemed to like and praised the show for (me included), as well as the OP. Also, while Ep. 9 was of lower production caliber than usual, it was more acceptable than the fourth episode given its atmosphere. The latter was a poor episode regardless of its worse animation quality, IMO. The series as a whole was great and a masterpiece, yet I don't think it's as groundbreaking or revolutionary as some say. P.S.: spoiler[I knew Kamina wasn't going to live long from the first or second episode (just one of "those" characters), but that didn't stop Ep. 8 from being any less effective...] |

Am I the only one being reminded of Kuro and Shiro from Tekkon Kinkreet in episode 9? The way Simon looks in episode 9 is sometimes almost exactly like the character designs from Tekkon Kinkreet. Maybe it's just conincidence... But the different episode title art seems to point towards the artistic differences being done on purpose for this episode - for whatever reason. Was it some allusion or inside joke that U.S. watchers don't get?

Unfortunately you're right, the problem lies in Aniplex which strangely refuse to give their Japanese logo and prohibit licensors to put any kind of background art aside from the main artwork on packaging, on top of not wanting any dub made (and it's a miracle Bandai Entertainment achieved to release a 2-volume pack...). You know, every editor wants to have good and innovative products, but most of the time, it's the Japanese counterpart that prevents it to happen... |
