The character line-up looks like a cross between Number Five and Yo Gabba Gabba.

I hope Elijah Wood is a guest VA.

God damn is this awesome. I can't remember the last time I saw a first episode that was that great. Its world has such a surreal, nightmarish feel to it and the music compliments that perfectly. Can't wait to see more.

Anyone remember that old point-and-click adventure game called "The Neverhood"? For some reason Kaiba's look really made me think of it; probably the backgrounds and the overall weirdness that both stories have.

The claymation one?

I never played the Neverhood, sadly. But I did play the inferior platform game Skullmonkeys; and came from the same people iirc. Which had a great visual style.
I also mentioned the claymation thing before, when talking about Kaiba, in the staff irc channel.

Yeah, that one. I haven't played it in eons but it was a pretty cool game that had an awesome look to it. But I just read on another forum that the visual style reminded someone of the 1970's French animated movie "Fantastic Planet," and I suppose its more plausible that the Kaiba-crew were inspired by an internationally-acclaimed animation classic than an obscure American computer game.

Just watched episode 10, really impressive stuff. I'm glad it's all coming together like it is, but I'm still intent on watching it all over when it's fully subbed.
