Pacing: The story was very deep/complex but due to the pacing/number of episodes, it could have been better if it was longer. The story moved at a slightly fast paced due to financial reasons and 1/3 of the full series (of 39 episodes) had to be crammed into all 26 episodes. This was most notable in the ending as the entire thing should have been stretched to at least 2 episodes. In addition, the series has minor plot holes placed throughout its entirety.
However, there is a plus side to this. Because everything was crammed into 2 seasons, there is no filler episodes. Every episode is loaded with plot related info. Or, at the very least, its cliffhangers do.
Art/Animation (8/10): The art/animation looks old (when compared to more modern anime) and is very reminiscent of other 90's anime.
Sound/Music (9.5/10): Yoko Kanno, need I say more?
Dub or Sub?: Both. I seen this dubbed and the person who voiced Dilandau portrayed his role very well. For international fans of the show, the German dub cast deserves a huge amount of praise because everyone was perfect. Also, the Latin-American dub was pretty good too, especially Van's voice actor.
Enjoyment (8/10): I enjoyed it, even though it was a re-cut dub. Would I re-watch it? I have no choice, I saw the re-cut Fox Kids English Dub. Knowing that I have to re-watch it in order to fully appreciate the series.
Who Would Enjoy it?: Because of its fast pace, I recommend this to teenages and older. Kids might get lost if they can't keep up with the plot or absorb the amount of info in the plot quick enough.
Summary/Overall (8/10): The series is good. It has minor inconveniences but those can be overlooked. I hoped that the movie was a continuation of the show in order to work out the plot holes but alas it was a simple revision of the series.
