Awesome, thanks! I feel like I can already see the OP cuts for specific instrumental sections, maybe some spots where they'll be contemplative shots, something with walking, and then the section where Nirvash will probably burst into the clouds flying over the ocean, all to be tied up with a new group photo, and a flash of the villains in their 3 second cut-in.

nice artstyle, instantly likeable characters and nice fighting scenes! fuck yeah!
Whether or not people complained about changes is kind of irrelevant. Most of the 'sudden gags' that I've come across really should have been completely excised from the series.
People have bad taste.
Well, I wouldn't say that you can 'barely notice' it. It's extremely distracting because it breaks both immersion and mood and completely takes you out of the experience. That's the worst possible thing that a director can do.
Yeah, quite a few crazy scenes there. It wasn't a matter of printing on film some overlaid digital effects or something like that... the way some of those scenes were composed would have been impossible with previous techniques they used. Also, one of the reasons for the series would have been erased otherwise, as this project was devised in part as a training course for the staff to understand better the way of working on new procedures and with new tools for the nascent digital era of animation.
Well, FLCL wasn't just Gainax, remember! Even before FLCL, Production IG was pushing technology in anime. Most people aren't aware of this, but the entirety of Ghost in the Shell is digital. All of the animation and backgrounds were done on paper, scanned, and then composited digitally -- much like today's workflow. I guess the reason most people don't know it's digital is because it was printed to film for storage and has all the look of film with the gate weave and grain -- perhaps large scale digital storage wasn't viable back then. Ghost in the Shell also does a lot of camerawork and such that wouldn't be possible without digital, like that reverse zoom with the city in the background at the beginning with Motoko was apparently not possible with traditional cel camerawork. That's a pretty clever and important shot too, but it wouldn't have happened without digital!
I'm hoping to watch and write my thoughts of the second (final) volume today, but we'll see how that goes.
Yeah, that is true... along with that work OMNIBUS JAPAN Inc. also did for Ghost in the Shell. FLCL always seemed to me like an extension of the GAiNAX collaboration with Production I.G since The End of Evangelion (I posted information about it here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=29130598&postcount=2745). This is why I always thought that they were on this with Production I.G interested on learning from them, with the creative control they had, trying and experimenting (as Mr. Tsurumaki said) to later in time incorporate or make things on their own. But, although they did have a big budget proper of a two 'cour' series, doing things like in those movies maybe was a little out of their realm for a pet project.
I will look into it. I needed some none super serious buffers after watching Evangelion.
it's all colonel konrad's faultI think this definitely qualifies as both image abuse, as well as crimes against humanity. Think of how many people are going blind today!
