Just picked this up to rent from my local Blockbuster.
For those who've seen it, what do you think of that strange mix of live action, CGI and traditional animation? Seems to be more distracting that enhancing to the storyline, although (without revealing too much) the movie itself is pretty kick-ass.
[SPOILER below]
*******************************************Another interesting point is the parallel between Saya and Miyu of the Vampire Princess series. Seems as though the Japanese idea of vampire or kyuuketsuki is quite different from the undead demons of Western mythology - who are portrayed as oni [demons] in both anime worlds.*************************
