ah, i thought so. I remember reading in newtype that in Planetes he was able to "Produce in" as a opposed to "Market out". " Produce in" in the sense tha because this was not an otaku-type show airing on public NHK, they were able to do what they wished and not worry about a portion of the commercial side of the work (this is paraphrased from interview). That being so, although scryed was you could say "marketed out" taniguchi's balance of the shows more hot blodded shonen aspects and its more mature social commentary aspects (at least until the last 3rd part with Mujo) was done nicely, to make a real fun show that held up to scruinty reasonably well. The screenwriters for Lelouch look pretty good so heres hoping it strikes that same balance (with better animation).
