Art is simply amazing, and the animation of character details, its real-time motion i swear it just makes you feel even closer to the scene. Sometimes the cutting rate is so fast you don't get enough time to see enjoy the art =P I think this storyline is gonna remind me of Lone Wolf and Cub.

It's pretty hilarious in some ways to me, that people associate Red Garden with the noses, and now the lips. I guess I do think that the lips can be a bit awkward, but nothing really too major.

The full, pouty, thick, Angelina Jolie style lips. *shudder* The worst feature IMO on Saya has to appear on Barsa as well. :( @ DJ: It’s the lips. The full, pouty, thick, Angelina Jolie style lips.

Yes, they are generally good animators and for some reason (not related to them), there is just this strange problem where the story board just did not work out. The first episode imho is not excellent in story telling, as some parts can be a little lost and flimsy, particularly on Barsa bringing the child out. @Briar: Hah, I didn't even notice that at all. Honestly, I just assumed that it was something of a ritual in their culture. I hope there is no shotacon love vibes for any time. Leave that to the oldies like Barsa and Tanda please. Really, stick it there. Let's just hope that with that huge budget, the standard will be maintained. @Fuuka: There’s a main concern that I feel might be problematic with Production IG works.

Wow. That's a nice change in pace from the rather 2-D and dull backgrounds in most animes. The thing I like about this anime is the strong feminine lead. This doesn't seem like a normal shounen anime, what with a FEMALE lead who is obviously capable of taking care of herself (unlike Saya from Blood+ who has a sidekick who does most of the fighting and/or rescuing), and a YOUNG male lead who is just as obviously not a romantic interest (fortunately, although some of the Japaneses do have a weird fixation on kids *grimace* ). There is that Tanda who I feel is a good choice for romantic interest, although so far there isn't anything particularly interesting regarding him. One thing that strike me is that Barsa bathe with her clothes on. Well... I know I'm in complete agreement with the meaninglessness of unnecessary fan service in bathing scenes, but... this is a bit TOO extreme, IMO. Love the view of the night city she has, though. Very beautiful. First impressions are favourable. I still don't particularly like the character design, but it's not bad enough to turn me off. @ Fuuka: I totally agree with Outogizoshi. I dislike the Tokyo Arc so much, I didn't even finish it. I totally agree wtih Impz regarding the beautiful background. Wow.

I haven't watched the episode yet but judging from the screenshots, I think I'll put it in my must-watch list. As for the story, almost show of historical or epic fantasy often have slow starting point but it'll be more interesting as the show progresses. Now I have high hope for this show, if anything fails later I'd be more disappointed. On a different note, I still remember how I fell in love at first sight with Outogizoshi-[just the Heian Arc- the Tokyo Arc was a failure in my opinion], yep an anime from PIG. The bachground with pastel and watercolor was absolutely beautiful, or stunning. And they have the strong story accompanied the high-value production. The main protagonist is also a female disguising as male warrior. Come to think of it, many of the leading female role in PIG's show are very special, strong and strong-willed. They're opposite with most of the female characters out there and that's why I like them so much. ^^ As expected from PIG, with all the money poured into this show, the background is amazing [or I have to say almost all their products have quality this high level].

I mean, just the graphics is worth looking at for the first episode. The story plot is not as strong as yet, but i mean it is the only the first episode. Only a few more episodes will tell whether this is a keepers. @DJM: Hmm, I have not watched Saya of Blood before but I found the details of the character to be pretty good. It totally smells of Production IG works from within. I am anticipating good stuff here. @Drm: no egg yet -_-….
