This should be easy.
The reboot some how made some of the most interesting characters in fiction uninteresting

I'm gonna say Vampire Hunter D to keep the thread afloat but I doubt it's that.
>>142024164
That's Evangelion.
>>142024212
No, Kancolle.
>>142024159
TRIgun?
>>142024275
No, it's no D. I should have specified that the sequel isn't out yet.
Do people like the soundtrack of the original D?
>>142024429
No, but I guess that does technically fit.
Hey, Baccano would too if it ever has another season.

Nope, I was thinking of doing that though. I would have used the phrase "spiritual sequel" if that was the case, even though it counts as a regular one too.

Still no, but you're closer with the music.
I'll give you a hint: the music is from an actual band.

No, the adaptations retain the humor.

>>142025740
YOU DIDN'T MENTION THE MANGA
There's an MD Geist manga too
>>142025929
Wasn't it an American comic?
>>142025953
nope
>>142025980
Well, if we're talking about the same thing, it was written and drawn by an American and released by an American company.
>>142026084
I might be remembering wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was written by a jap
>very amateurish but ambitious sci-fantasy epic

>>142026191
According to Wikipedia, if I'm reading this right, there's the American comic, which is an adaptation of the first OVA, and then there's a prequel called Ground Zero. That might be what you're thinking of.
>>142026290
Yeah this is it. I didn't know about the comic.
>>142026328
I'd only really heard of Ground Zero too.
Anyway, >>142025045 is still up for grabs.

Not sure what to think of Decode after watching both seasons. Manage to do a lot of cool shit, but did bunch of shit wrong too.
The original OVA was some of the tightest shit, though. Love the chemistry of it that didn't seem apparent in Decode.Does the manga for what's translated seem to fair better? I heard it's what the original creator really wanted it to be.
>>142027497
I haven't read the manga, but I definitely will if it's ever fully translated.
I could swear I had more webms from it saved.
