Actually thought Reunthal would go further than he did. Slightly disappointed, but he was a badass through and through, especially when he was struck and make it seem like it was nothing.

The opening for Space Cobra alone makes me want to check it out.
Really unsure what to start next after I finish FotNS. Considering Mobile Suit Gundam, City Hunter, and now Space Cobra.

I'm surprised you haven't watched the prequels to the main OVA kungfro (the 24 OVA and 28 OVA episode ones)

Too bad Reinhard's OVAs didn't show enough of the things like the Silver White Valley arc in which his cunning display was in full force. Siegfried also a badass in combat. That 5 on 1. Goodness.

Couple of other things:
Reinhard OVAs, I like how there was a scene where it looks like Reinhard ascended to Super Saiyan level with his golden glowing hair.
RIP to Yang Wen-li's main OVA VA. Freakishly weird that he suffered a similar timing to his end like the character he voices.

Hokuto no Ken sure loved it's recap episodes, so much so that the final episode just recapped the major plot points of the entire show. Really didn't understand the point of that, the whole anime builds up to this final confrontation between Ken and Raoh, then they throw in a meaningless recap episode right after. Didn't even bother watching it, just skipped through to make sure there wasn't any new content.
Now that I'm done the first season I'll probably check out the movie soon and leave second season for another time. Not sure I'll check out anything else beyond that but we'll see.

New Gunsmith Cats short in the works, more incentive to watch it which I was planning on doing soon anyway.

They probably were struggling to fit into the weekly TV schedule demands and re-using clips is a much quicker process. If the scenes were well animated for its time in the final battle, then it was actually better for HnK to have a recap. |

You can tell the creator behind Gunsmith Cats has a real love for guns. www.imfdb.org/wiki/Gunsmith_CatsGreat actions scenes as well as one of the best car chase scenes in anime. Story wise it's nothing special but it makes up for it in visuals. Now I gotta check out riding bean.  |

All good candidates, but I still wouldn't take any of them over him. >Space Pirate that travels the galaxy for treasure >has a gun arm >fights the evil pirate guild >spaceship can transform into a snake >has a sexy robot partner name lady >always has a cigar >woman adore him >his name is fucking Cobra |

Aim for the Ace movie is criminally underrated on mal. Cuts out a lot of the fluff of the anime with far better animation and music. Also removes the silly gimmick shots that were hard to take seriously (tornado surve). Downside is you get less character development with the shorter length, and Otowa's arc is ignored.  |

Damn. There's a dude backing $4000+ into the project.
This man kungfro has a lot of money.

>fights the evil pirate guild Cool dudes don't give a shit, so this isn't really what I would use a factor of coolness >Space Pirate that travels the galaxy for treasure If he's poor like Gene from Outlaw Star, that isn't really a cool thing. Only exception is Spike If he's to the point where he absolutely looks like he needs it if removed, that isn't cool. Doubt the anime does this though Rest are cool reasons, especially the robot partner. |

Cobra decoded a galactic map that was tattooed on the back of 3 twin sisters with a piano interface computer.  |

Another great moment, Cobra joins a league that combines baseball and rugby and allows murder in order to uncover a narcotics trafficking ring, and does so while leading a team of missfits to victory against the leagues best players.  |

Finished up Space Cobra, took a while but I did enjoy it a lot. Not the deepest anime but Cobra is just an awesome character, fun to see how he comes out on top. Very Bond like in some ways. Now I just wish mal was back so I could score it and narrow down my next watch. Was gonna make it Rurouni Kenshin but I'm kinda wavering after that first episode.

City Hunter is really temping, but I kinda want to get into another mecha. Should watch Gundam, been meaning to for a while now.

It won't ruin what an already mediocre experience you're having with Rurouni Kenshin (I feel the same way). It can only improve because you can feel that quality difference from start to finish. |

First episode of Dream Hunter Rem is perhaps the weirdest anime I've seen that could be considered magical girl. The first episode was hentai though so I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised. After the popularity of the first the rest of the series was made to be non-hentai so we'll see how they compare.

There's actual explicit penetration or just penetration not shown type shit?  |

Ken is a fucking badass. Not even incorporating his moveset like the Fist of Lingering Regret (giving them 7 seconds to die after removal of thumb) He pours rice from a bucket with his leg sticking out and deflects a thrown axe by kicking it 90 degrees from the point of origin.
Also Lupin reference

What I love about Ken is he never acts like it's some kind of burden to go around helping people. He saw people in trouble, got angry, and made bad guys heads explode. |
