Comment I thought it was great. (Score 1) 137
The comination of 3D backgrounds and 2D characters was very nicely intergrated.
I liked the story too. It was rather short, and the ending was a bit abrupt, but all in all I think it was a job well done. Not as ambitious as something like Final Fantasy or Titan A.E., but a much more straightforward plot. better emotional content too, IMHO.
I haven't seen a lot of Anime, but I've seen some good and some bad. This is good.
It seems like most of the posters here were reviewing it without having seen it. I thought slashdotters were supposed to be smart.
As far as a marketing concept is concerned, it worked for me. Now I want to see it on the big screen, and I know what I wiil be paying for. Other moviemakers take note. Give us a free taste of something good, and we will gladly pay for the full meal.
And if you like 3D animation, check out my 5 minute streaming movie, ROADTRIP. Quicktime required. Let me know what you think of it.
