Instead of playing fair and having to listen to EVA's constant complaining I just beat her up until she passed out and dragged her into the goal. Stupid escort mission, pain in my ass.

A very good, but sadly flawed space anime from some of my favourite creative minds of the genre.
The point of this show was to capture the essence of old-school pulp adventures like Cobra and Cowboy Bebop and make something new out of it. While partly nailing it, the longer the series goes, the more it loses steam. For example, they clearly couldn't just decide whether they wanted epic space opera or more simplistic adventure so they threw in both and the end result never really goes anywhere.

“The Prince Of Egypt was released during the time where DreamWorks Animation were slowly up and running, and even though that this is one of their firs”

These films were always bad, but this is just insulting. Home Alone was a dead franchise for a reason: the first film was already a one trick pony with nowhere to go but oblivion and they still decided to keep it going as long as they got anything out of it. The sixth installment feels like the sixth circle of hell from Dante's Inferno, and I think there's still room for something even worse.

A very obscure little show with lots of potential. It's actually based on an Argentinian comic book about a Batman-like female mercenary who hunts Nazi war criminals and scientists who continue their superhuman experiments in hiding. It isn't all action, but there's also hints of telenovela and stuff. The concept is great, even James Cameron supposedly plagiarized it in Dark Angel.
This show suffers from multiple severe flaws, mainly that it's aimed for little kids so they had to cut the juicier stuff and forget the backstory entirely, which in turn makes the thing feel very confusing and flat unless you know the comic. The writing is also very wonky, dialogue weak and sound effects cheap and overused.
On the other hand the animation is top notch television quality and visually the show has way more personality than most similar cartoons of the day. I just wish this show was more adult-oriented so they could've had utilized the source material properly.
