It's a moderately interesting premise.

I'm watching the movie now, and it takes a looooong time to get used to the proportions on these characters. I mean, I read one volume of the manga, but seeing it in animated form makes all the elongations stand out as freakish. These guys have arms like spiders and their fingers are larger than their head. Their necks would make those African women with the big gold neck-rings jealous. Creepy.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"Typical anime drawings"... what? No.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL:


There's nowhere I can't reach.

Did you mean that these are "refreshing" compared to typical anime drawings? In manga, I found them refreshing and artistic. In anime, it doesn't look right at all. It's all about seeing it in motion.

When the characters are walking and you see them from the side, their arms are extending reallllly far down. Their elbows begin where normal arms would end.

Her body is the same as "alien greys" from X-Files and such. Those fingers are not anywhere near believable.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
