The TV series is much better. That I can tell you. As for Rayearth OVA, what's bad about it? I only saw the Tv series.
Heh...to be honest, I can't really remember why I didn't like it much. It had nothing to do with its difference with the original, as I've only read the first manga series and have yet to see all of the TV series. Can barely remember what happened in the OVA. Maybe I should watch it again...I'm curious to know what you didn't enjoy about the Rayearth OVA.
Yes, the character design was slightly different. I personally enjoyed the new, 'Gothic' Umi more than I enjoyed the one in the TV series. The god mecha had improved designs. And Lantis was pretty schmexay too.
Storyline was different. But seriously, would you want to sit through a movie with exactly the same plot as the TV series you had already seen? Personally, I get bored when an OVA is just a shorter reguritation of the TV series. I need some significant differences in it.
Taken on its own, it's one of the more enjoyable OVAs out there. Good action, character design and plot.
The Japanese R2 DVD DOES NOT have English subtitles.
The only one that does is an R3 release (I believe a Hong Kong release that IS actually official), and of course the upcoming release by Bandai Entertainment/Kadokawa USA.
Byousoku 5 cm, which my friend sent to me on disc. The animation was gorgeous; this was very beautiful to look at, but it was a sad story. I think I'll have to rewatch it tomorrow or monday to get better thoughts on it.
Given the language options for Cantonese voice and a few types of chinese subtitles in addition to the japanese track, subtitles and english subs, not to mention that it only plays on my computer--I'm betting that's the version I picked up. That, and the region 3 symbol on it.
Inuyasha, my cousin told me about it and its a very good series. (what episode does sesshoumaru learn Rins name??)
Too bad its an extremely long winded series that continues to grow so tiring.
I know what I'm about to do now. I've been waiting for this.Ghost Hound 14 - Holy ****ing ****.
