Oh, I totally agree about the skating.

But I had to watch it with the sound turned down, to avoid the 'disney 
affect' (similar to seasickness, but more distressing, because you know 
somebody's doing it /on purpose/).

Sorry, but for me it wasn't 'rapturous song', it was more like 'soppy 
sentimentality'.  If it had been the theme from GITS SAC, now....
