All hardboiled detective stories-- which is what GoitS really is at heart-- are sort of disjointed. Hard to follow is a trade mark of the genre, really.
On the subject of anime, anyone here seen Rah Xephon? Very, very Wolfish in execution, sort of New Sun-ish messianic aspects, especially with the struggle between two competing futures...
I highly recommend giving it a shot if you get the chance.

Um-hm.
Was it just me, or did that movie seem disjointed (and cut-off) as hell?
I mean, truly awesome visuals, especially that street parade left me astounded, frankly- We're a long way from "Kimba the White Lion", let me tell you. But then again, I was watching it on a seat-screen while crossing the Atlantic, so my experience was probably sub-optimal.
