    gorgeous. imaginary forces has always done exceptional work.

    my one complaint is i fear that the caligraphic stamps by each person's title may simply be ornate gibberish rather than actual kanji for "producer" or what have you.

    it's entirely possible that no kanji exists for things like "film editor" but i felt like maybe a kanji for "movement" or "flow" might be appropriate.

    it's a tiny, somewhat trivial concern, but it is one that i noticed. especially as they feature prominently the symbol for "fire" (at least i believe that's what it was) right in the first few seconds.

    • i could be wrong. maybe those stamps were carefully and meaningfully selected7point34
    • 7point34, those caligraphic stamps are the actual names of the people credited, and the Kanji symbols represent fire, water, air, earth. But if you read the interview with the art directors, you would have known that they worked with a master Chinese calligrapher.SubmarineChannel
