Skyland - watch it!
I shoulda posted here earlier (since the first episode was shown this past weekend) but it's never too late to get started.
Anyway, if anyone is into anime / cartoons / animation then you really should watch Skyland (Weekends @ 7:30 on Teletoon in Canada, also on one of the Nick stations, and probably also some over in Europe). The quality of the animation (particularly the backgrounds) is equivalent to the big screen anime of Studio Ghibli (Howls Moving Castle; Spirited Away) or Akira. Note: the wallpapers on the official websites don't do the backgrounds justice, but there are some screen captures if you go hunting. The character animation is done in a pseudo CGI / cell / flat shaded which works surprisingly well. The story, so far, is interesting. I'm hoping they can go deeper than the simple good guy / bad guy.
My wife (who enjoys anime, but isn't a fan) complains that the shows are only 30 minutes. She wants more. Watching B5 was like that, we hated seeing the credits roll; knowing that we'd have to wait another week for the next episode.
