I disagree. Every anime/CG mix is different. I'm going to wait until I see the film to make any value judgements, because the trailer doesn't give a close enough look for me to form any sort of opinion. If the plot and characters are more-or-less (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Okay, my $.02... Mladen: Agree, CG+anime=ugh, 99% of the time. See Blue Submarine No.6 or Vandread for good examples. On the other hand, there are anime like Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell that use CG very well. Jason: I think what Mladen's (...)
