Keisatsu Sensha Tai TANK S.W.A.T. 01
This appears to be an attempt to revive the old Dominion Tank Police series ("All new rendition of Masamune Shirow classic!"), using entirely computer generated animation. I have only seen the promo, but what was billed as "shocking digital reality" strikes me as out of focus, unrealistic, and visually annoying. It reminds me of the video mosaics which are used to censor things from live-action TV. Furthermore, there seems to be a distinct lack of bright colors--that is, far too many dark, dreary shades of blue and gray (The big orange explosion above is unusual). In short, it makes my eyes hurt! I doubt if very many people would describe the original series as a "classic", so it is kind of surprising to see it being remade. This is supposed to be an "all new rendition" though, so maybe there will be some plot and humor.
Thanks for helping with the illustration, Forbin!
