So...when's Ep 2 coming?
Really awesome animation and camera use. I liked the music a lot, and the sound effects.
The voice acting...although it'd be nice to have more than one guy having to do 'em all (except for the Lotus chick...Kora, was it?), I think you did a really good job. You made the dialogue believable, how they said things, their tone, a pause here and there, etc.
I don't mind it being short, since I read what you said about it being a half-hour thing broken up into segments and what not. I'm a fan of mystic quest-type stories, so I'll be looking forward to any more Taishi flashes =)
