Hmmm... I like the series better, but just because...

I like the series better also, but you have to remember that they boiled down a 20-something episode series down into one movie.

LOL, awesome, I do want to watch the series... I saw it in the store the other day on DVD but it was in FRENCH, I hate French, do you know if a nice English speaking Canadian can get ahold of it easily?
I thought that in the movie anyway Van was kinda frosty to Hitomi and she was kinda lame. "VAN! I want to BE with you!"

Love is the only thing that can occupy and fill up eternity.

I miss the series. I live in the states, so it was shown years ago on Fox Kids then cancelled. I loved what I saw of it and am upset it never finished its run in the US. I wish Adult Swim would get the rights to show it.

I like the series better because it actually made some damn sense. That being said I generally prefer the updated character designs in the movie, as I find them much better aesthetically. I kind of wish they could just go back and reanimate the the tv series with the new character designs.

There was also no reason to jam 20-something characters into this movie. Allen and Millerna had very little to do, and were reduced to complete cyphers, when Allen was arguably the third most important character in the tv series after Hitomi and Van. Dryden's presence was totally pointless. Did the Moleman really need to be in multiple scenes? He should've just been a cameo like the Cat Twins Eriya and Naria.

Hmm, for me it was the genderbending aspect of Dilandau's backstory that made the series interesting, and it's a pity the movie lacked them mentioning that.

The movie was very original in concept. I liked it a lot. Saw the first few episodes on Fox. Went out and bought the DVDs after it was taken off the air.

I think the story had a lot more potential if it were re-imagined as something slightly more adult but the basic premise and themes behind the show are wonderful how they are.

Everywhere where the series is original, the movie is derivative. It is kind of sad, but I can see how they tried to capture some of the emotions of the series and just translate them to the movie but it just didn't work.
