Thanks for the link!

30 minutes of something most of the audience has already watched? It's not even like a lot of those scenes really expanded on the characters. In fact, if they were just to recreate the opening of the first episode, expand it a bit, give it some more characters and a new situation, and make it feel a little less clumsy, everyone would know a) how characters get along with each other and b) who they actually are. It's probably the best that could have been done, at least for people dragged along who know nothing about the series. But, of course, DEEN wanted to bloat the movie without spending a cent. Speaking of which, wouldn't the animation be terrible different? You have the regular TV-series animation which isn't so stellar, and then the improved movie animation...

I bet I can show anyone one image from Ginga Densetsu Weed, a series by DEEN, and their respect for the company would drop. Possibly significantly, if they knew the company beforehand. If I post to a direct link here, the image wont show up, correct? It does in Talk Pages, though, which is why I'm hesitating. It is such a terrible image that makes me LOL whenever I see it. Just imagine an anime filled with images just like it...Except random battles and the first and last episodes. GDW could've been much better. Much, much, much better.

Ah, the fandom...Y'know, maybe they should judge a movie based on its merits first. Then find any 'hints' later on. The fighting could be avoided for at least a little while.
