Overall Rating
Good
Story: 4
Dialogue: 3
Animation: 3
Entertainment: 5
pros
+ good concept and sticks true to its main storyline despite the length
+ very good diversity of characters so probably everybody can find someone to relate to
+ decent voice-acting
cons
- takes a while to really start off (i.e. beyond introductions and cheesy dialogue)
- some things are inconclusive
- completely outdated animation (c'mon, this is from '92)
conclusion: well worth the time for a long anime (> 99 eps). action, a decent storyline, varied characters, and no fillers (big plus). almost nothing changed from the manga either. yes, the graphics are bad for newer standards, but the story alone kept me sitting through well enough. not my personal fav, but a pretty good one.
