    ... Breathtaking. I'm still on shock! That's the most innovative and intelligent thing I've seen in the world of animation for a long time! You are the kind of person who makes me think : Yes! There is great things to do that haven't been done! (You're also the kind of person who makes me think : yes... I'm wanker I shoud do more stuff). But thanks for it!
