Wherever will they find people with freakishly long legs to be in this?


Oi, you stole my line. That's what I was going to ask.

Although, it isn't just their legs. Their necks and torsos are also bizarrely-proportioned.

Seriously. I remember a description of Fai I read once that looked at his proportions as being someone about 6 feet tall and 50 pounds when wet.

I've been meaning to get around to watching xxxHolic forever; this gives me the perfect excuse, I suppose.

Just as long as it looks like CGI Luna from PG Sailor Moon a few years back I'll be happy. It'd be neat if they could go more of a puppet with cgi mix, but that'd cost more money. ... but come on Japan, I know you can make a robotic puppet Mokona/Modoki.

Didn't Sailor Moon sometimes just use a Luna doll (stuffed animal/whatever), when CGI wasn't right for the scene? There've got to be plenty of Mokona still around, although they might have to dye a few...

I think she was mainly a stuffed toy when they threw her around. Other than that she was painfully obviously CGI. If it were up to me, I'd want a Modoki (the black one) much like how they did Salem back in the old Sabrina the teenage witch. Then again the thing couldn't jump around, but seriously, I wanna see a puppet throwing back some sake bottles.

I really hope they try to keep it more based on the comic in terms of characters and the supernatural. It seems with j-drama adaptions of manga they usually just really loosely base the show on a comic by just going by some main ideas.

Luna and Artemis in PGSM, when they were CGI, looked horrible. Animatronics are very advanced these days, though, which is what I'm hoping for.

Funny, when the Sailor Live appeared I found myself wishing they used a puppet like Salem but I guess it was too expensive.

I honestly have no idea if they can make a good live a xxxholic, but let's see what happens... and I guess they would have to drop all the Tsubasa conections (please be the case!)
