.

I know this is a cardinal sin, but enjoy 2040 more than the original BGC. It's like comparing the hosts of Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Joel Hodgson and Mike Nelson, respectively - both have their good points and bad points , but 2040 appeals more to me - though I prefer the red haired Nene from the original BGC over the blonde Nene of 2040.


Well at least you're not completely far gone. ^_^

Personally I like both, but I enjoy the original immensely more. From the designs to the over feel and plot. It was just darker and more atmospheric. It's just a shame Artmic and Youmex had to have a fallout over it. That, and Priss was a tad too vengeful at times. 2040 wasn't bad, but there were some things I didn't care for much.

I don't think I'd want to see a live action version though. I think the guys that make these seem to forget that a lot of the premises are just more believable in animation. There's an easier suspension of belief, and one can immerse themselves better. a live BGC would probably be just another brainless Sci-fi action film, especially in the wrong hands. Some things just don't work well in LA.

There's Casshern, which i though wasn't half bad. Storywise it wasn't much, but at least the visuals were interesting.

There's Golgo 13 - The Kowloon Assignment. I haven't seen it nor really heard much of it.
