I feel like these designs fulfull two of those requirements, but they lack sincerity. A story with heavy cultural involvement deserves to be seen from its own paradigm, and not ours, or else I fear we'll just end up mocking our own character. And that's fine if it's not a character we're supposed to feel for. But I want to be able to feel for the grandpa, and classic chinese stereotypes are only a barrier to that kind of connection.<BR/><BR/>But man do they look good.
