>>4029379Anon, I wish you warned me how esoteric the Genesis anime was before I got 10 eps in and found out that it does not get better. Looking around at the reviews, it seems that the original live action drama was the most popular version in the cheesy Machine Girl 80s flick type of way.
Not sure if I want to try the 2041 anime, but it does seem like fans enjoyed it more than the original anime at least. Also, you were right about it having no budget. The inner zoomer in me had to watch the latter half of the episodes on x2 speed because of how many flashbacks and still panning images there were.
All in all, I can't give the show too bad of a score since the plot intrigued me. I was left wondering where the hell they would go next until enough was enough.
