I don't think he really was, just that there wasn't enough interest in it for them to do the final 2 OVAs. But that isn't near as much fun to say, and how could there NOT be interest in Dragon Half? I mean come on. _________________________ I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!

WhtHawk UPSF Lieutenant Registered: 06/10/08 Posts: 220 Loc: KS	I think the length helps keep Dragon Half endearing. It would be hard to carry that out much longer and keep from repeating the same set of jokes. Special Combat Duty Shinesmen is the same way. _________________________ "A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." -- Douglas Adams

Stefanie UPSF Lieutenant Registered: 06/17/08 Posts: 353 Loc: Nashville, TN USA	I second those who recommended You're Under Arrest. It's just plain fun to watch, and the "Strikeman" episodes are priceless! Some of the short OVAs that followed the first season are especially funny, but I think it's better to be familiar with the regular series before watching the OVA specials. By contrast, the movie has a more serious tone. I also agree about Rune Soldier, Excel Saga, and Here is Greenwood. Golden Boy has its moments, too, but it might not be what you're looking for... unless you're fond of overly spastic, Excel-style protagonists and female character designs that defy the laws of physics. Oh, wait, we're discussing anime... EDIT: I forgot to mention Great Teacher Onizuka. The comedy is along the lines of Golden Boy. Edited by Stefanie (06/17/08 03:42 PM)

long time lurker UPSF Lieutenant Registered: 04/27/08 Posts: 374 Loc: through the looking glass	I would watch it, but you would have to keep the same super deformed style and disjointed way that it would switch between chibi and SD. Normally I really hate that style but it really worked with that one. _________________________ I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!
