How I got into Anime - My farthest memory(I was 4 at this time), is me waking up in a Bed(In Manhattan, NY) and a TV is on shelf, and I see DBZ(I didn't know know the name at the time) it was the episode where Goku was already in Super Saiyan state and he was fighting Freiza, and the planet was about to explode and their was lava and magma everywhere. So I guess you can say, I've been watching Anime since I was 4 and it was the first type of Media, I actually remember watching.
Yes, please for the love of god scanlate Pheonix, i want to see osamu tesuka's true masterpiece unlike the anime which all the stories were condensed and its like impossible ti find online.
If you do this, ill give you access to my anime collection and anything you want :P
Well I'm not entirely sure myself, but I can give it a try.
Gankutsuou is first of all not a Japanese story, and I think it show in the overall storytelling. I'd say the antagonist, The Count Of Monte Cristo though is a big reason why it shines, since he has so much charisma you could drown in it. The animation is, well, not the best, but it's visuals are definitely interesting and will keep you hooked when there's nothing really going on. The music is excellent, the dialogue is thrilling and, well, every element it has going for it works. Except maybe thr climax and the mech animations, but I can easily forgive those.
If I rate something a 10 it means it's one of my top 10 favorite series and I don't think its actually a masterpiece (to me there's no such thing as a masterpiece).
As to why it's one my favorites it has to do with the fact that everything about Sora just clicked and worked well together. The setting, the characters, the comedy, and the randomness that happens at times.
