It's like a mixture of Laputa - Castle in the Sky, Red Tails and Gorrilaz... was what I was thinking when the sky fell down, the music played and the character came into view... as it turns out it's a lot more than just that, though! Even though the simple eyes somehow distract me each time, somehow unfitting something as serious as this, there's no escapeing the wave of emotions, fleeting as the fleets meet in the sky. You really build up the atmosphere masterfully, and the special effects, creative design, hazy sunshine underlying... it builds up a world I'd love to see more of, though if this is all: it's a masterpiece.
Poetic, too. The music, voices... everything fits, and leaves you with a sense of melancholy and mystique. Impressive work.
