ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. BEST ANIME EVER 10/10.
This is honestly an amazing anime. The raw animation and art look amazing, and the sound design is really good. I enjoyed the crazy wacky sound effects throughout the anime.

Art
-i understand this is an older production (1960's) but come now. Are you telling me the artist couldn't spice of the scene with more colors? The only colors i can recall were used on hats. Which i think was used to help the ...
