Been looking for Sam Kieth's The Maxx. Aired on MTV 'round the time of Aeon Flux. All that Ebay has is bootleg DVD's of that one, it has never been released on DVD. Loaned my video cassette to a friend and never got it back. If anyone's ever seen it, I hope you'd agree that it was a very profound piece of work. Homeless guy who believes himself to be a superhero who occasionally finds himself confused and in between worlds. Read the comic and was blown away by the animated series.
Only saw Outlaw Star once. Haven't had the money or access to it since. Liked what I saw. Must find more.

The Maxx was an excellent show, but in some ways hard to watch. It was pretty heart-wrenching to watch some of the episodes, especially the later ones.
If you're interested in Outlaw Star, by all means, rent or buy it. I've heard some call it a rip-off of Cowboy Bebop, but I really think that's comparing apples and oranges. It would be like saying Firefly is a rip-off of Cowboy Bebop. All in all, good show.

I loved the Maxx!
Big Anime fan here....been watching it since I was 5....Astro Boy and Prince Planet (B&W they were)
We had a club in Buffalo 10 -15 years ago. We were importing Anime on Laserdiscs. No subs or Dubs there. Once in awhile we would get scripts that fans would put out, but it got annoying to read and watch at the same time.
Favorites
Space Battleship Yamato and anything else by Leiji Matsumoto!!!!
(Galaxy Railways has to be the prettiest!)
Bubble Gum Crisis...the original
Way too many to list...have seen so much in the last 15 years....
Can't forget about Project A-Ko. Darned silly but I love it!

Yamato was awesome.
I remeber getting up early (5:30 AM) to watch Robotech on Sturday morning when I was nine. Hated anime for a long time (thanks Dragon Ball). For some strange reason I started liking it again when I turned twenty two.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
Did you ever see Urban Square or Time Stranger (not Etrange)? For some reason, I was thinking about them the other day. How about the Lensman movie, Merow Link, or Starship Troopers?
