just re-watch ep1
i am just amaze by how good the VA's are especially the va for Chihiro and how well she convey Chihiro's emotions. hopefully the va for the new characters in the sequel is just as good.

I'm sure that the quality of the sequel will be every bit as good as the original series

By R1, you mean Region 1? How the heck did you get that when this series hasn't been licensed here in the U.S.?

I couldn't resist I marathonned it a few nights ago and enjoyed it even more (if that's possible). Those two "telephone" scenes just by themselves are so awesome (the text messages and the phone-card)...
*sigh*... it'll be a long wait until Fall, but at least there is something to look forward to

Some series have a style that is a challenge to get into I guess. I enjoy accepting that challenge as long as the story is the focus rather than the presentation. Ef succeeds with both, and in spades. Too bad so many have missed out on this unflinching and involved story of interpersonal relationships.
So much of it is visually stunning, and that may put off some people. I found it really entrancing and thought-provoking. For instance (and only one example), the stained-glass floor with the sheep pegged to the middle of it, symbolising Chihiro's "situation" was awesome. Can't say more about it but both the symbolism and the story will give you cause and pause to think. And that's a good thing, because it involves you with the story to a greater extent. That is, if that's what you want in an anime You might better like to watch things blowin' up And that's... o-kay

Finished watching! and I must say, I'm very impressed with the series. I've never seen an anime told in such a way (except Mushishi, and that's different on its own). Really enjoyed the messages and the way those messages are packaged. A very brain-stimulating anime about lots of issues.
The most striking parts are probably the telephone conversation (screen skipping back and forth between the seconds and the still image of the phone booth) and Kei having a shower (using only red and white to symbolise her crime/sin). Although the characters and setting and storyline aren't anything unique and are rather cliche, the artistic and symbolic departments make of them something altogether unique and refreshing. |
