In a lot of ways this is the antithesis of what my my project is about since it features virtually no limited animation whatsoever. It is however and amazing piece of work, or I hope it will be whenever I get to see it. The European premier showing was in Glasgow a few months back but I wasnt able to get through and I've been itching to see it for a while. Takeshi Koike is one of my favourite animators although I'm no anime buff. I love his high contrast and twisted animation style. It is projects like this that have made me believe that 2D animation may be due for a bit of a resurge in popularity. Certainly I think Koike's work is an example of some of the things that just can't be done in 3D.
