[quote name='Kuma']Oh believe me thats the reason im getting the games[/QUOTE]
That's the same reason I've been tempted to pick them up. On a somewhat related note, I loved Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner, so first I rented the movie ZOE: Iola which was actually pretty decent, it had a bit of a dark edge to it, but the ZOE series which followed was everthing the film wasn't, cutesy, lame, etc.
I don't know much of the history of the anime, were the video games created from a manga or something and then the series is their version of the manga? Or were the video games original creations and then they created a KICK ASS series as back story? If it is latter, I find that incredible, considering they have difficulty making enjoyable 90 minute films based on video games, let alone an entire series.
