I watched this episode 3 times to catch all the little details that were going on. Other shows also explore the “How do we live with robots/androids?” question (e.g. Chobits). However, this one seems to go further in portraying a society where anyone who treats robots as anything other than machines is seen as a deviant person. It is closer to a master/slave society.

The animation is a trivial matter. The ideas are of most importance.

Of course, when we mix Original Ideas+Neat Animation+Perfect Music we get Mushishi ;)

Great post! Like you, I’m expecting this to be one of this year’s highlights. The effects are a bit overdone at points, as if the director believes he still has to prove his worth; at this rate he ought to have nothing to prove by the end.

I’ve read a small number of reviews since writing my own on this episode, and the reaction seems to be quite positive – there’s quite an interest building up here. If that gets an indie piece like this the recognition it deserves, so much the better.

I’m also noticing how every one of them highlights something different that makes me appreciate the series more – in this case you’re dead on with the direction and camera angles. It’s very cinematic – hardly anime-ish at all – but gives the show its own unique style and atmosphere. ‘Dry’? A little, perhaps, but I think that might be intentional as the ‘coldness’ was in Pale Cocoon, to reflect its worldview.

It was okay but nothing worth talking about. Yoshiura’s works never really caught my interest, they’re somehow “dry”. That shiny stuff was a bit too much – I mean every shot had that special effect, professionals don’t use special effects the whole time.

Holy shit, that was amazing. I had heard nothing about this before this post. Thank you for introducing me to this superb piece of art. The style and camera effects in this were great, and the story seems pretty interesting so far too. I can’t wait for more. Thanks again, wildarms!
