Well, the Lensman books begat Star Wars, and Star Wars begat the Lensman anime movie, so I thought it was a great movie all things considered (and my 3rd real anime I ever saw oh so many years ago after Nausicaa and Akira, it's is a favorite of mine). I have read the initial 6 books, and I think that book 2 is my favorite.

The LDs for the tv series on ebay are the first 6 eps and a making off for the movie. As much as I've love to get those, I simply can't afford it. I'm going to check with a few fansub groups I know members of to see if anyone of their people will translate it for me.

Should have my LD player in a few hours, but then I have to work until 11pm so it'll be tonight or tommorow before I watch the LD of the movie.
