wow.....i watched this series back when they were first coming to the states.....and loved everyone...it really is an amazing story....a few years ago i read that they were releasing a sort of re-telling in three movies.....i'm not really into Japanese animation much anymore....but i went and saw the fist part in the theater....for the most part it was a re-editing of the first 5 or so episodes....not much new but seriously still very enjoyable.....an old friend lent me this one last night and.....
DAMN this is good.....completely new characters, footage etc....yet sticking to the same story....i cannot wait for part three
