The franchise departs quite a long way from the beginnings in the first three episodes.

Most of it has never been officially available in English.

I don't think many people liked Force given that it only lasted 30 issues. And when you see some of the utter arse that can get more issues than that in the manga industry that's pretty epic fail. Vivid is just a massive tournament arc with basically no stakes, even the usual "when will they make fr...

It's not ever been explicit, mostly because of marketing reasons (gotta keep those waifus available). But they are very domestic in Vivid.

I'm only mentioning this as curious tidbits that won't really matter much in future :D Given that the family basically don't exist after the first season it won't matter at all, though the fact that they're all samurai bodyguards probably explains why "bye Dad I'm off to save the world" is not rega...

The story isn't super achronological, but it will eg. tell the same events from two different sides one after the other, sticking to one perspective for a fair chunk of time, then switch to the other side and talk about what was happening at the same time. Whereas the OVA series frequently cut betwe...

As far as I can tell so far the new one is deliberately playing it a bit closer to the books. The old OVA series changed the order some perspectives were shown in to match the chronological order not the order the books showed or reported them in, and expanded some minor characters a bit.

The old OVA series basically adapted the book series completely, so there's no more to continue into.

If Yoshiki Tanaka decides he wants to write some more, then the books might continue.

I wonder if you could call it a Deconstruction of the original Star Wars trilogy? No. Because that doesn't make sense at a conceptual level. One work of art cannot be a "deconstruction" of another work of art. "Deconstruction" is a process where close reading is used to demonstrate that multiple co...

What happened to Western animation? Did people watch this? LNp8JQJjKAw Because if you don't watch Cartoons like this you won't get more. Technically not Western. That series was Studio 4°c. (But then a goodly chunk of the original Thundercats was also animated in Japan.) Anyway, I think actually wh...

I can't think of an anime, an anime i like anyway , that has this problem. Anime is notorious for dragging on interminably so long as a property is popular. You're probably already eliminating the ones that do exhibit this trait. *cough* InuYasha *cough* Doesn't that come from popular mangas they a...
