Overall I really enjoyed Brain Powered, except for the last volume, spoiler[mainly because the Americans just suddenly showed up, and really hadn't been part of the series up to then. ]

Aside from that, I really do like this series, plus You is really hot Embarassed I didn't completely understand the ending, but mostly I did.

Honestly? I've never read it, but have been rather interested in it from time to time. Does it end up having much of a plot, or is it just story by story?

Oh, yeah. Just picked up the first two volumes at the library yesterday. Didn't get to read them though because I took out so many but maybe today or tomorrow I will...

Brain Powered didn't do a lot for me. They guys were pretty, but it was pretty standard mecha otherwise.
Pet Shop of Horrors is cool. It's an anthology title so we get usually 3 stories per issue bound together by some aspect of Count D's shop or the cop Leon. Often they are morality plays to teach a lesson as many of our horror titles, particularly the classic comic tales from the 1950's(because one can excuse the horrendous violence in the name of vengence). This isn't a bloody title, though, like Hellsing-it revolves on the stories. I believe there are only 10 volumes. There's also an OVA-3 or 4 eps, haven't watched it in a bit so I forget the exact number, but it's very good.

So I took the time out to read it last night and I wasn't impressed. In fact, it was very confusing. It reminded me of Full Metal Panic which I'm not very fond of either. The mecha scenes all seems blurred to me.
