Have you seen the clips of the Esca movie?  The character designs
are SO different!  The most noticable is that the noses are shaped
like the characters of El Hazard (yes, they are 'normal sized').
But just everything looks different, from what I could tell (bad quality vid).
Allen and Folken scare me the most.  And I think Van has tattoos. 
It's just odd and wrong.

I don't even know if there will be cels available, but I for one
don't think I could bring myself to buy one.  Well, I doubt I would
be able to afford cels from the movie anyway, but that's besides
the point.
