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?
If I remember which one is which, I liked Alternative but didn't care too much for Progressive. The part where the rich all flee to space leaving the rest of humanity to die was on point.
