Yoshitaka Amano who is the man behind much of the artistic style of Final Fantasy is working on a full length anime now called Deva Zan.

He also collaborated with Neil Gaiman on one of the Sandman storybooks, I think it was the one about the fox spirit. Totally Awesome.

I love Amano's style. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Yeah, and he did Gatchaman too

I don't like it.

I think there's too much detail to animate well. The hair moving with the wind feels forced and a bit narmy, too heavy-handed to work.

I also couldn't help but think that the slow motion was used because they couldn't convey the movement at a normal speed because the detail would ruin the possibility of a clear silhouette.

I also think that illustrators make pretty poor animation designers.

This will either be a smash or flop badly. I enjoy his style but a lot of others do not at all
