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 (...) (20 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.
