yea, homura's dental check was in one of the earlier trailers already... madoka's time...
monogatari was not enough for shaft I guess. :/

Aahhh! Not a toothbrush... Please, not a toothbrush! (Still a nightmare this scene)

Very short trailer, not easy to have an opinion about it! The good news: No new delay for the movie...

Anyways trailer felt unnecessary. Idk what those new girls are gonna do but one of them’s voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa so that’s a good sign. I like her.

Yes, a fantastic seiyuu. Do you think her character can have magic powers with an euphonium? Her wish was "Umaku naritai"?

Tomoyo Kurosawa so that’s a good sign. I like her.

I love me some Tomoyo! Her early acting is still as impactful as ever, and still unmatched in my opinion.

yea, homura's dental check

This side view’s at least a bit better than the weird 3D teeth over 2D art in the frontal view of the original vid.

Also the art style is very polished but it’s so jarring compared to the one a decade ago; it’s throwing me off completely.

I agree. It didn’t immerse me immediately or feel like the same world to me, at least from this PV. We shall see.

It needs Kajiura’s atmosphere in the music too.
