Hmmm...
I liked Original Dirty Pair, but felt in some ways Flash was better.
Maison Ikkoku was one of those animes I nieither liked nor disliked, but had to see through to the end, all 96 or so episodes.
I liked the original Ghost in the Shell, but not any of the other offshoots from it.
Haven't seen any of the Dirty Pair before, although I heard good things about the original, and grumbles about Flash. Which prompted me to buy the boxsets of the Original when it became available to me and pass up on Flash at the moment.
And I must admit that many of the spin offs of GitS haven't thrilled me. I liked some of S.A.C., but mostly it bored me. 2nd Gig is similar, decent but not wonderful, and I'm mostly obliged to finish it since I've already watched more then half of it. Innocence was a good visual feast, but rather boring over all.
Although, getting to
see Innocence was a pretty annoying adventure, since when it first came over from Japan, it was released in theaters. Naturally, none of them were near me, so only went to visit my relatives later that year did I try grabbing a showing of it. Unfortunately, somebody wanted to play a prank during the last twenty minutes of it and pulled the fire alarm. -_- Instead of getting a re-fund, I got this stupid stub that would let me watch the movie again, later. Of course, since I was flying back that same day, I lost my money.
Had to wait until it came out on DVD to watch the last bit of it. <_< Wasn't that great either, very anti-climatic.
Still, I've heard some good things about S.A.C. SSS, which made me want to finish the last bit of 2nd Gig so I could view it properly.
Boy, you all sure make watching anime sound like such a chore...
Mmm, do I? Well, I admit I could probably get more time to watch these things if I scheduled myself better, but...
