Shadowless for me…for the simple reason that the shadow people remove a lot of hinting power the author can use to pleasantly surprise viewers with a keen sight. Let’s take the clock back to episode 3 and let’s remember this particular line:

    Jaune: "Ah, great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?"

 Now if this scene was done with the new models, my reaction would have probably been this:

    Me: "Hey, was that girl in the back watching him? I wonder if she’ll pop up later."

 As it is however my reaction was more along the lines of this:

    Me: "Right behind you dude."

 The shadow models seriously kills a lot of tools the author can use, tools that make the show more enjoyable to watch for the second time. With that said…I think I’d be ok if the shadows where kept for the far away stuff...but ultimately I am glad they are starting to implement random extras.
