FFF okay, so like, maybe my standards of "good" animation are low because of .hack//Roots or something. XD But this? This fabulous little promo image? I THINK IT'S REALLY CUTE, OKAY? I THINK THEY LOOK JUST FINE, EVEN COOL. Like Luke there? Oh yeah. I'd hit that.

The unbelievable amount of bitching that's been going on about this has me so

Eternia was completely slaughtered. I only saw one episode of it, but it already completely slaughtered it. In one fell swoop it destroyed my favorite thing about the main characters: Reid is a reluctant hero, he doesn't want to go on adventures, it's his best friend Farah (who he has a crush on, but she's oblivious) who is all like, weird stuff, yay ♥ and wants to do crazy things and have wacky adventures, and so Reid comes along to keep her out of trouble.

And they just -- destroyed it. They reduced it to Ranma and Akane: he has wacky adventures, she has a secret crush on him and follows in his wake, bitching and yelling at him the whole time while random girls fall in his lap. And I'm like, WHAT NO. Now I hate her and their relationship isn't cute at all. Also they made Farah a damsel who Reid needs to rescue instead of a fine goddamn martial artist.

But, hey, I'm an optimist too, inasmuch that I don't think anyone would ever repeat such a travesty. And Sunrise is a pretty reputable studio! Our hopes may not be entirely unfounded. :D *clings to*
