All the motions are measured down to an almost live-action level of detail, in terms of motion and physics. <br /><br />Look at the bike fight at the start. Watch as they scrape the irons against the street as they ride. Look at the protesters running over and between cars in the protest scenes. Everything flows. <br /><br />Truly, a masterpiece of our time, and as it was the first anime I watched, it is extra special where I'm concerned. <br /><br />Great post.Tadbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05437800556121092978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394310461939093453.post-85520690185429183812010-06-02T07:29:31.512+12:002010-06-02T07:29:31.512+12:00I always have trouble appreciating a manga cartoon...I always have trouble appreciating a manga cartoonist's work.

This problem persists for me regarding ALL manga....CHROME FETUS COMIXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925936758233570983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394310461939093453.post-50684668619666405492010-06-02T00:04:53.568+12:002010-06-02T00:04:53.568+12:00Have you read Domu by him?
