Evoking the palette and imagery I'd associate with Moebius and European sci-fi fantasy illustration, I am excited for this! Except for the key visual / poster featuring an aesthetic style that reeks different than the opening sequence we see above... hhhmmm....

Directed by Hideki Abo, with screenplay by Miho Sakai and Character design by Atsushi Yamagata, the music is by Ken Ishii - the only name I recognised immediately, and got me screen grabbing this in ernest LOL
