I've been watching some of the episodes, still not quite sure how I feel about it yet, not even all that excited by the Figuart announcement actually.

I'm up to episode three and I can see why they chose SH Figuarts.First,there is no physical cloth statue like in the original,its stored in crystals they were,like a pendant for Pegasus.Also the series was animated by the same group as Casshern Sin,so the fights are VERY animated.
