[QUOTE="HdE, post: 423316, member: 243"] I'm personally a little disappointed to hear that the new OVA series is going a CG route. I mean, sure, there was CG in Unicorn, but I'm becoming less and less enamoured of use of CG elements in anime. Some shows really overdo it. I just finished watching Vandread a while back, and the awful mesh between CG and traditional animation left me wondering why ANYBODY in Japan ever thought mixing teh two would be a good idea. Part of the appeal of Gundam for me has always been the fact that the robot action is hand drawn - and in some of the older shows, it's really, really evident. Lots of lovely scratchy pen lines and cross hatching. I love that! I vividly remember being overjoyed to see that none of the mecha in Gundam 00 were CG'd... something that gave that show a real feeling of quality and gravitas - especially given how insane some of the series' battles and mobile suit designs were.
