I'm more impressed that the updates continue to 2021

And the guestbook is still live and astonishingly empty of spam!

And it's actually a service that still operates, does GDPR, anti-spam etc.

It's funny how the site kept getting regular updates but stopped right in the middle of the owner watching the Netflix adaptation.

I’m into a casual fan and it was rough to try and watch the first episode.

They could’ve made that contrast of high and low budget simultaneously work, if it wasn’t for the extreme miscasting and needless changes.

I can only imagine what a super fan would’ve thought.

I'm an occasional casual anime fan who had never experienced the original but watched the Netflix show and mostly loved it. I was sad there won't be another season.

Do yourself a favor though. Go get the original. It holds up well with the exception that animation has come a long way.

The first is March of 1999, but the most recent are about the live action release at the end of 2021, and there's some developments for most of the 20 years in between!
