Blade of the immortal anime trailer
So. I haven't mentioned this yet (obviously) but I'm a huge fan of Blade of the immortal. It's probably the best manga I've read, and I think devoured all sixteen or seventeen volumes in a two day span of concentrated reading. Seriously. This manga has everything I'd ever want to read about. Its the holy book upon which I hold up all other stories to compare. They always fall short. Always.
All right, so I'm exaggerating a bit. It's not perfect, but its it's pretty damn close. It holds a special place in my writing career (*snort*) because after reading the awesome fight scenes in it I decided that short, brutal, semi-realistic fight scenes were the way to go and changed my writing accordingly. Well, Blade of the immortal and some other stuff.
Anyway, they're making an anime of it. And a trailer is up. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siYv1jIJMVM
Hmmm...
Well, on the visuals side it looks a bit patchy, but considering this isn't high quality video and the fact that all the scenes seem to be taking place at night, its pretty good. The character models seem pretty consistent as well. The one fighting part in it (the one with Manji and what's-his-face clashing for about a six seconds)looks serviceable if somewhat... plain. Here's hoping that its just that one scene.
Overall the trailer looks pretty high quality though.
