An example is that the film how to take a scene into three segments. and also this film also reminds me of "Trigun" and "Cowboy Bebop" in one way or another.

My only gripe that I have to say is that I didn't like the title appearing at the lower right. If felt out of place and could be a little distracting. Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆              Must See!
