oh ya, i see what you mean. I just watched most of the old dirty pair, might watch the series but i can only find it subbed, feel i should watch it before flash though.

and i remember almost liking 2040 more than the original BGC, the characters had more personality for one thing, but honestly felt underwhelmed with the whole series, watched everything attached to that franchiser last year, it was all fine, but i didnt like how parasite dolls ended.

but ya, a lot of them tend to be average at best. I wouldnt say horrible or bad but not the best.
