The reboot looks better, but the original series definitely went a lot further in both it's exploration of what it means to be alive as well as how well realized the characters are. Both definitely delve into that same field: what does it mean to be connected to other people, so I guess you can see a trend here. Anyways, I highly recommend these.

Mmm Bubblegum Crisis!

if anyone is a fan, I wanted to give you all a heads-up. I participated in the Kickstarter crowdfunding to get digitally remastered with production extras BluRay sets made and it may be your only chance to get BDs of this great series. The bitrate is amazing. It's around $70 now for the BD set, and it will only get higher as quantity diminishes from sales.

I love me good cyber punk series.

I'm also very glad that Armi mentioned Seirei because I was going to make another post but then she got to it.

Let's get into Seinen! Series marketed towards older males that aren't about sex. You've all probably seen Akira, Berserk, Battle Royale, Hellsing or Ghost in the Shell.
But I really love me some Black Lagoon!
A Japanese business man finds himself dealing with the criminal underground of sorts, the Triads and the Mafias. Oh and there's this badass cursing lady with these really beautiful handguns.

And to the female equivalent of seinen, Jousei!
The biggest series I enjoy of this that others haven't mentioned is Gokusen
Gokusen's a series about a young teacher of classes of delinquent boys in all-boys high school. She also happens to be the granddaughter of a yakuza boss which allows her to inspire her students to better themselves. Her position as the next in line for being the boss also adds to a lot of comedic relief in the series. It's primarily a manga and drama, but it does have an anime series.
