Watching the Dirty Pair movie from 1987 right now, and there's something in this and other anime movies of the time I really love, that I wish we'd do here.

When a TV animated show gets made into a 2D movie (A rarity these days), they tend to just add a lot of airbrushing effects to kind of simulate 3D. Anime, instead, just upped the line detail and color detail and way more fluid animation. I'd way more like to see that over the faux 3D effect.

The only movie I remember doing this in the US was the Transformers movie.
