heya just finished my latest anime series hkj and i have to say its gotta be one of the best surprises I've seen lately id heartily recommend it to anyone Smile

My mate told me about it i hated the sound of it ... i watched the first episode and didn't really think much of it .. but this show grows on you like a friendly fungus and i related to almost all of the characters, this goes just behing Last Exile for the didn't want to watch but really glad i did category Smile

oh and i dunno how it is for you but i got all 26 episodes in 3 dvd bozes for £60 .... not bad for an entire anime series atall.

I finished it recently too. I think it's a good show that could have been great but the flaws held it back. The first episodes felt like the creators didn't know how they wanted J and the main character (can't think of his name right now) to interact. J always saved him and he never got to prove himself worthy of being the lead until later on. Also, I feel that quite a few characters were really wasted and I wished the soundtrack would have had more than a handful of songs (they were all wonderful though).

There are more flaws as well, but really, what it comes down to is that it's worth seeing if you are a fan of shows like Cowboy Bebop. It has a very similar feel and style to it.

I remembered on one of the Interviews on the last DVD that the creator wants to do another season (which explains why spoiler[at the end Daisuke says he'll be back in three or four years]). Hopefully that happens very soon.

For me this was one of those awesomely cool animes that wasn't afraid to be original. An exquisite masterpiece on all parts.
