Just rewatched the original for the first time in more than a decade. Maybe it's because it got imprinted on my brain as a teen, but I just can't get over how perfect it is. One of the best looking animated shows ever and it's been made twenty years ago.
Maybe if the sequels are bad I should get into the manga or novels or something?
I remember a lot of people being disappointed when the sequels came out. I ended up not watching them. But it looks like since then there have been some people trying to reclaim it, saying it's actually not bad (and maybe even good). So idk.
Here's is a positive and a negative review for Progressive. So def. ymmv.
Personally I plan to watch all three sometime in the future.
