I love how this had some of the most original animation of any show I have seen, but most of all, this is one of my favorite sci fi shows. Even though some of the scifi concepts explored here are not original for today, it was very original for the time I think and for an anime it pretty much was pretty original. I don't like much japanese voice acting and I would say this show was more tolerable for my ears with subtitles. I had to watch this twice because I couldn't fully focus on the anime because of where I used to live, but it was worth it for me. There is hardly any guts so the blood which was colured not red for the most part is less intense than some shows. The ending made me feel mixed emotions more than any other show before and there could for sure be some conspiracies made about this show, but for the most part it's pretty straight forward if you read the subtitles well or if you know japanese. I also loved the ending and intro which are so far the only anime intros and outros I like fully. I am so glad I rewatched this show. The dvd is expensive (over 100 bucks) and I rember it's on the Amarican Amazon Prime too. I might check out more of Masaaki Yuasa's stuff some time, maybe not Cat Soup again though.
