Thanks to Insoluble, I was finally able to see Wonderful Days. Its really bizarre to see an anime and hear Korean instead of Japanese.

My opinion of it: The CG was really great! Usually, I don't like tons of CG, but it was handled really well in this and they integrated it nicely with the animation. The soundtrack was pleasing to the ears and character animation wasn't too bad, although some of the characters were fairly freaky looking.

For some reason the plot didn't jive with me and I don't know why. It wasn't horrible, but it also didn't grab me, either. They never really developed a background for the suffering of the lower class of people, nor established why the upper class split off and formed an isolated group.

My only other complaint: the really impressive song used in the trailer is found no where in the film. Damn.

Next on my list: ChronoSphere, more Naruto, and Read or Die ...if I have any spare time, which I don't, these days. Sigh.
