So, here are my thoughts on the Short, since here seems to be the main place for posting on it.

The scenery was beautiful, let's just get that out of the way. There's just something beautiful about how they portray Menagerie & Kuo Kuana especially with all its hustle and bustle despite being relatively small.

The lighting throughout the short was quite well done, and unlike with Weiss' trailer, we had lots of areas in present day with contrast concerning light and darkness/shadows...anybody else think that's at least slightly symbolic, at all?

Love the graphical detail upgrade on Sun's clones. Plus, his abs seem to be more easily defined in several spots save for the part they showed with the 2nd Gif.

I liked the flashback with Ilia...that's a prediction I had confirmed. Like how she got some actual backstory and motivations. She's going to be an interesting character moving forward.

The chase scene, I had a few problems with it. the scenery was good, but the pace of the actual chase was a bit wonky at times. Like, why would Blake and Sun just stop to stare at the cart rolling towards them? Seemed a little weird to me.

The running animations looked a little weird at times, particularly with Sun.

When Blake was forced to fall by Ilia offscreen...did, Gambol Shroud return instantly? Or did it just disappear? I feel like that's an inconsistency.

Since when does Ilia have a gun in her weapon? Why didn't she just whip it? That stuff was strong enough to cut through metal. Speaking of which, that platform or whatever it was fell really slowly.

End credits song....I need a full version, stat. Speaking of it, who do you think is singing it? My money [not literally] is on Ilia, with 2nd guess being Blake.
