Kinda weird that it goes in to a more realistic, undoubtedly Americanized, western comic book artstyle for the opening credits. It seems so out of place, but it's really cool, nonetheless. It's almost like what western cartoons would look like if we actually gave a shit about appealing to adult audiences over here.
@figocooldude Yes. Hiroyuki Okiura. I'm aware. The same guy that worked on the Ghost in the Shell movies and directed Jin Roh. Even though all of his work is ultra realistic, he was obviously going for an American look here. Giving a shout out to the English dub with all the American voice actors appearing in cartoon form.
@kirosu yep, sounds like they took the same patterns of Beck's song, you really can hear the similitudes, a little too much of them to be a coincidence?
For the longest time I was trying to figure out what the beginning of this song resembled. Finally realized a bit of similarity to Carole King's "It's Too Late"!
My fav anime of all time. Much love. Brings back many memories

@Bandaids4ever It's because the opening is made by a different director.

Amazing animation, I love how fluid it all is from the folds of clothing to the slight sway to a person's stride.
Simply put some of the best animation I've ever seen.

Same here. At work, I constantly hear It's Too Late and I sometimes think this song is built around a sample of the original.
