Back to Anime (Was Re: [thechat] [OT] IM Question)

[Ben Dyer]

I'm not even sure for me that was it.  I've been watching Cyborg 009 
and Kikaider, both of which are new shows based on old manga by Shotaro 
Ishinomori.  The character designs there are slightly more advanced 
than Osamu Tezuka's character designs, but still pretty simplistic.

For me, I think, the story just didn't flow right.  Maybe it was the 
dubbing on that title, I dunno.  Something about the story didn't feel 
right to me.

One of these days, I need to rewatch it to try and figure this one out.
