Conceptually brilliant...high art,animation style.
Seriously mind-numbingly ass kicking.
From the deconstructed semi-apocalyptic setting with its submerged, engulfed remnants of civilization to the sly "Alice in Wonderland" references and the willingness to respect the intelligence and imagination of the viewer, this cartoon underscores the true power of the animator's art. The art direction, music, character realization, the whole package, is to tightly wrapped as to be impenetrable with criticism of any kind. I doff my cap, do a little dance, and anticipate upcoming installations of this (guaranteed) epic episodic endeavor with baited breath.
