But seeing that the small errors people are wont to commit in the beginning of any under taking are apt to wax greater as they advance, and to become irreparable at last, it is most important that you should thoroughly understand wherein lies the grace of true devotion -and that because while there undoubtedly is such a true devotion, there are also many spurious and idle semblances thereof and unless you know which is real, you may mistake, and waste your 2 energy in pursuing an empty, profitless shadow. YOU aim at a devout life, dear child, because as a Christian you know that such devotion is most acceptable to God’s Divine Majesty. ![]() 6/25/2023 0 Comments Tracy k smith wade in the water![]() Smith’s signature voice-inquisitive, lyrical, and wry-turns over what it means to be a citizen, a mother, and an artist in a culture arbitrated by wealth, men, and violence. These are poems of sliding scale: some capture a flicker of song or memory some collage an array of documents and voices and some push past the known world into the haunted, the holy.

More lush than those in TV series but not as detailed as those in movies. The backgrounds are OK, standard animation backgrounds. Clothing detail and shadowing are kept to a bare minimum with almost no shading other than a flat color fill for many of the action scenes. The character designs look like a watered down version of Mulan and Pocahontas, spliced with the more modern stylized aesthetics of the Legion of Superheroes cartoon series. And apparently, none of them grew out of that era. The director, character designer and animators apparently worked on a number of 90s Disney animated shows like Mulan, Hercules and Aladdin. In terms of art and animation, it is not where near the quality of other direct to DVD animated movies or OVAs. ![]() The one thing that hits the viewer in the very first scene is how cheap this film looks.
