Something weird about the animation...


I don't really know how to explain this, but has anyone noticed this weird thing about the animation?

It's like the "patterns" of things, such as the characters clothing seems to move INDEPENDENTLY from what they are on? I can't think of how to describe it better.

One of the unusual design features of the show is the patterns used on the characters' clothing or skin. The patterns are developed as a full screen image and then sent to the production house where the characters are modified to fill the patterns in over the character clothing.[2][3][7] Using this technique, when a character moves, their patterns do not follow, but display as a "static" background. A similar technique was used in several anime, such as Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei and Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo and in the Monkey Island video game series.[4]
