Eh...never been a huge fan of prequels in any form, and I find the continued infantilization of some of my favorite fighting females...well, a tad disturbing. I mean, Forever 21* is one thing, but 16? Or 15? (For the record, she was 17 at the time of the first SS.) Does the great majority of Japan's populace actually find this desirable?
Of course, I know the real reason for this decision...she's so powerful by the start of SS (like everyone else in it) that the only way to give her a decent challenge is to lock on her younger, weaker days. Especially considering who the main villain appears to be, the kind of villain anyone in SS would be able to wipe the floor with one-handed.
I guess I'll give this a try once it gets stateside, but still...why not make a movie about what happens AFTERWARD? You know, Maiden of Light-ization, immortality, being chosen as the mountain gods' represntative in Capcom vs. SNK. I guarantee that I'd find that story far more compelling than watching her learn how to swing a sword.
(And just for the record, I do not find naked LITTLE CHILDREN the least bit sexy. Thank you.)

Uh, either I just turned art-blind, or that's Umezu's character design for Nakoruru.
WTF!?
Er, I like Umezu's work and all, but...
geez, that's a huge change from the gal-ge- look of the Nakoruru game...
Umezu's an anime character designer, who character designed (and scripted) A KITE and Mezzofolte. Both OVAs filled to rim with sex after sex, violence after violence, blood and guts and all.. (^^;
Hardly a candidate I'd pick for adaptation of the mellow-feeling Nakoruru game.
Of course, I imagine he only did the original designs as well as the poster arts, and actual animation designer is probably a diffrent person, but... wow. This is a surprise.

Mezzoforte...medium loud. I saw the DVD of that at Fye and wondered what it was about. I saw the edited DVD at Mediaplay before that. I haven't actually seen Mezzoforte yet though. That IS odd then that Umezu did the designs, because from the looks of those anime, they are definately for an older audience. But then again, I suppose just because some of his works were for the more mature that he can still do work on other projects.
