Divine animation still brutal after intro (9)
I believe the answer is:
celestial
'divine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'animation still brutal after intro' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'animation still' could be 'cel' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'cel' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for celestial that I've seen before include "Heavenly" , "Relating to the heavens" .)
