Aardvark noted: >>wow, haven't heard of that one in forever... Yeah, I'm still playing 'catch up' ... Lots and lots of 'classics' I haven't seen yet ... As well as trying to keep up with some of the newer stuff ... So feel free to toss over a recommendation if you run across any gems! >>incidentally, since i've fallen out of the anime loop, anyone know >>if they're ever going to release Area 88 on DVD? Hmmmm ... Don't know that one, but it looks like some of it (2 DVDs) are available at the moment: http://www.cartoonpassion.com/area88animedvd.html Pretty decent review: http://www.animeinfo.org/reviews/area88/shour-sor.html HTH, RonL.
