For all you old school anime fans out there...
WOW!!!
These IMAGI folks are impressive!
(And on a related note, I have to say that after seeing the T28 trailer, I'm much more psyched about the character design for Gatchaman.� The earlier shots
didn't promise much, but if the T28 characters are an example of the new staff's work, I believe the Gatchaman project is now in good hands.)
The visuals are impressive, but the voice acting sounds dodgy. very dodgy.

Yeah, I was thinking the voice actors could have been a bit better. And some of the lipsync looked off, but that might have been an artifact of YouTubing it.
The visuals, though -- wow. I never expected to see a new Gigantor any time soon. That's an anime so far in my past that I just barely remember that I
watched it as a kid...

Actually, the dodgy voice acting is part of the charm of the original. I mean as interesting as the recent Speed Racer movie was, wouldn't it have been
better with the off-kilter dialogue from the original Dub?

I agree. The Mad Scientist guy sounds exactly like a late fifties-early sixties animated evil genius should.
