Nice, good luck on your course work. If you need help with any math courses (namely MAC1105, which is required for everyone), I can help.
Thank you!! I’m glad you’ve found it useful so far. The 2003 anime uses early manga plot points and changes things about them to create a darker more philosophical and morality themed story. It's not an adaptation striving for accuracy. The manga is more fun shounen and 2003 is an exploration of the characters, their morals and their emotions. I'd love to say more but the neocities replies can only be so long lmao
From that gif I looks the anime has thick borders. I haven't paid much attention to Chinese stuff probably cause a lot of it is fighting stuff.
Some involve fighting, but some are more slice of life/comedy type of shows. Chinese animation has three distinct forms, conventional art style as with much of Japanese anime today, 3D CGI anime taking inspiration from video game cut scenes (typically these have surround sound too) and a traditional art style with thick lines and flowing animation like this show. Hope this helps.
