Keeping an eye on you

One of the interesting things about anime is the way different teams of animators work on different episodes, and the way that characters change over the course of a series (especially a long one).

During the early part of Flame of Recca (through the raid on Kurei's mansion) the art is noticeably higher quality. Look at Mikagami's eyes in this cel, the care given to how they're drawn and painted. Later the irises will become single-color and simpler shapes.

The difference is especially visible in Fuuko's eyes, I'm still looking for a Fuuko cel from the early part of the series...
