No worries man, I liked the manga a lot, but the anime just didn't live up to it in my eyes. Just didn't seem as cool, but the story is (relatively) dark.
Personally I just started Bubble Gum Crisis 2040 a couple nights ago. Not too bad so far...
Anyone ever watch Berserk? Kinda makes me sad the way they did the anime, they could have gone so much further with that one... the anime was good, don't get me wrong, but... I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but those that have know what I mean. Manga is still going to this day, and it started in the late 80's.
Oh, and Poodles, I always meant to check that one out after seeing the trailers at the beginning of the old VHS's (remember paying ~$35 each for THOSE?), but never got around to it. Thanks for the reminder!
