The CG only generally looks out of place when it's in motion. Still shots are okay.

I did find this one to be a bit jarring, when not in motion

But that could just be down to having seen it in motion and knowing where to look.

Wow, those screenshots are great! Thanks!
All of them look just so good :guts: No off faces, poses or anything...

I especially like this one:

because it seems to me that the CG developed a lot. You can't see a big difference between the CG armor and the drawn face - maybe, almost drawn? Because it seems to me, that the head itself is CG, but the face was drawn with hand.

But I'm actually also a bit disappointed, I was hoping for a shot of Foss... I'm still worried about what will they do with the story, if they alter it like this  :magni:

Maybe the low quality wasn't because of the budget but because they were new to mixing CG and hand drawn animation and then they got better or something?

*shrug* looks fine to me. But it's not the visuals that worry me with this adaptation.

I think it's the distinction between the helmet and guts face and shoulders that make it stand out, the lines have a slightly different look from one another, which makes it clear that the helmet is CG. But, I agree, the animation itself is not the primary concern, since it's unlikely any animation studio would animate it to the same standard as Miura's artwork anyway, although I understand why they would use CG for the bigger battle sequences.

Best to take that number with a grain of salt. I've been keeping track of it since it was first listed on amazon.jp and I saw it up into the single digits during that first week. Lot of fluctuation there since. We really will have no solid idea of how well its selling until we get the numbers in from after its been out for a week or so.

I did post several of these a couple of pages back, although how do you capture them? As the ones I posted don't appear to be as good in quality. Either way, they're looking good.

Yeah, yours kind of looked like crap though. :void: Method: Standard printscreen, plus some minor fidgeting with Photoshop to remove the low-contrast filter that comes from any compressed video. I also crop out the stupid Japanese banter text streaming over the images. (かわいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい)

Duly noted, my photoshop experience is pretty limited, hence the result.

Hey guys. :) It's been a while!

Thought I'd check out how you guys and the SK forums were doing and noticed this thread. I'm floored there was a movie released and :isidro: I had no idea! As much as I want to import the movie I think I'll wait until it's released here in the US. The trailers are pretty awesome and I really like the screens you guys have posted.

Hope you all have been well!

-Winde, pretty excited

Did casca use skin bleach? I don't think it looks good. Also it seems that her hair has another color. Too bad.
The 1997 anime is not the standard for correct colorings... Casca's skin has never been that dark. Check out how she's depicted the covers of the manga volumes:

What about Casca's lighter hair color? I don't really mind the change but I'd like it to be darker.

Again you guys, I'm pretty sure this movie has bigger issues than hair color.
 
I found some nice screenshots, not sure if we've seen them before...

I'm okay with her hair color, but I do think her skin is too light, but it was too dark in the '97 anime. Seems like no one got it right so far :ganishka:
And my opinions about the pics:
Adon's face looks pretty good, again, I think the CG improved and at least this one little thing makes me hate this adaptation a bit less.
The torturer guy... Here he looks like a f*cked up Dobby for me with those ears.
Gennon is like Santa has a day off.
I also find Pippin's skin color too light, just like Casca's. Does Studio4°C has a problem with black people? :troll:
