I ADORE that movie. However, I have to disagree
with your analysis that there are only a few
cels. The reason the movie looks so fluid and
pretty (not only because of the help of
computers) is because there are more cels per
sequence to make it flow better. With a high
budget like they had, they could do a LOT of cels
in a short sequence to make it look absolutely
awesome ^^ Just because it's a movie does not
mean there are not a lot of cels for it ^^ Just
look at the recent influx of Utena movie cels
nowadays...who'da thunk that almost every cel
collector who wanted a cel of Anthy jumping Utena
for the first time would have a chance...but yet,
look, there are STILL cels from that scene up at
Taro, because everyone's ad their fill ^^
Anyway, yes, I highly advise you see it a second
time, I saw so much more the second time that I
did not notice the first....
