SS means screenshot.
As for the episode, here is my comments:
Opening: Well, the first thing it reminded me of was X 1999. I dunno why, but it gave me the impression of the opening of X
. The song was awesome, and was really cool. The opening was....well...ok, and sometimes I find stuff a bit messed up. Hm...nothing special about the plot revealed in the opening. This time they tried to mix some still screens with motion, and that was a nice try ( except the face of Sakura was a bit twisted). With the exception of a few twisted screens, is was ok =)
Episode: Well, the first thing I noticed was the animation of Syaoran was done exeptionally well, and he looked cool almost in every screen >.< Thats maybe he is the main char >.< =) Anywayz, Sakura was....well...avreage...but the other two guys were col >.< Esp. Fye. ^^ Chii was drawn a bit too fat, and Tomoyo is beautiful ^^. Anywayz, the episode itself was cut down a bit, and its like....for us who have seen the comic, its..kinda recapping. ^^ Anywayz, nice episode on the whole. The BGM was also very special, Indian like for many, and the other half was a strings instrumental ^^
Endng: Song is great^^ But the part of little Saku and big Syaoran, and vice-versa was a bit..funny. lol
I thik overall its avearge to good, but not really exceptionally good and shocking. But Syaoran's performance was GREAT >.< And also Fye looked cool ^^ I'm still not catching up with the seiyruu
But I think the concept of moving it to animation was too similar to the concept of X. Episode is up to Syaoran asking for help bit. This also cut down details, which was inevitable.
End of Rant. No offence
