In this way, I feel I was finally able to visually appreciate the quality of the artistry for the first time. I was surprised to see how the setting in Victorian England had given me such an easier time visually comprehending familiar scenes, vehicles, etc instead of the usual anime Asian or Space-Age themes I had come to expect. The visuals looking through various magnifying lenses were absolutely incredible! I found myself thinking of people seeing early Disney features in the 1930's.
I was astounded by the superb quality of the graphics, especial the CGI macro shots, throughout the film. I was dragged to this movie by my son, knowing of Anime only Totoro, the Cartoon Network Anime shows, and passing things from the web.
