The music fits the scenes so well. In fact, I think the score here launched the composer's career essentially.
The dub's incredible and puts familar people in roles they normally don't get cast in. I would not have been able to tell that Tabool was voiced by Crispin Freeman if it weren't for a slight slip in episode 3, since Tabool's voice is so different than the typical Freeman voice. I was also flabbergasted at listening to Kayzie Rogers' Sara, who, despite sounding like a mother (haha) expresses all of Sara's myraid emotions extremely well (contrasted to her emotionless 4kiRAB Vivi). Wow, just wow.
Part of me hates Shu for not giving in and another part of me likes him for refusing to compromise his principles.
Wow, Hamdo has a garden full of flowers, yet he hates them with a passion. Wow.
