One(?) of the chroma channel data has incorrect vertical offset. I'm
not consistent about subtracting points for this, but that doesn't
mean the problem isn't there.
Comments:
I've been in "buy anything that's AIR related" mode already, so I
didn't even have an expectation. For some reason, I thought there
would be a lot of reused footage in this, but I was wrong. There's
very little reused footage. Few that are, are there to link up the
story with the TV series version of the Summer arc. It's done very
seemlessly, too.
Kan'na is portrayed in a much more, ...naturally childish way. In a
strange way, all the funny and cute scenes feel nostalgic, and perhaps
even a bit sad. It's because I know what happens later. It makes
every moment more precious, though.
Of course, excellent animation continues in these special episodes.
