I'm very interested in seeing the film -- one of the guys I work with has already seen the English version (last weekend at a NYC Film Festival) -- and have been since I've heard it was coming to this here continent.

I like anime yet despise certain aspects of it. One thing I can't stand is how someone looks normal (in the big eye/small skull world of anime) then suddenly transforms into a real cartoonish version of themselves for a few seconds (usually when yelling at something). Or how everyone is painstakingly drawn to look like a serious human except for the one comic relief character who looks like he/she stepped out of a cartoon aimed for children between the ages of 5 and 8. For instance, take a look at the cast of Star Blazers (see link). Guess which one is the comic relief.
