KOBAYASHI IS A WOMAN, people.

Just had to say that because so many here believe she's a man. :)

(She also wrote PGSM. Hee hee.)

Gah! Thats twice this week I did that!

Gomen!

Yeah, I still cannot believe the person who wrote B-Fighter Kabuto, TimeRanger, Ryuki, Sailor Moon (LA), is the same person who did Go-Buster. Not to mention that dreadful Claymore and Witch Blade anime.

Sanjo is talented and I see no real problem with what he wants to do, but you do bring up a valid point. As the Matrix Trilogy and Speed Racer proved in spades sometimes you just gotta dial it back and let other people add their thoughts in as well.

To be fair 48 to 50 episodes is a lot for just one person. I only hope that if his dream comes to pass he won't end up like Inoue did.

I was actually thinking of Batman Vs. Batman Returns (I personally hated Batman Returns. Burton went a little too far with that one), but the Matrix trilogy is a pretty good example though.

The first few episodes show promise, but I'm sometimes afraid when they get too much creative freedom they get a tad too crazy.

Ya, you all should be asnamed of yourselves for getting that wrong :p

Sword Gai seemed to be doing fine on its own.
I think in time Amemiya may look into making a video spin off from it.
Sentai? Probably too many restrictions for him now.

Works for me, I can't argue with the two episodes we've seen so far.

Crap, now I have to watch this.

Riku Sanjo... I knew the name rings a bell.

He wrote the Dragon Quest based manga Dai no Daibouken for 7 years, it's a good work. He kept all the DQ tropes and atmosphere and wrapped them into a shonen script. As a notable fact Dai, the main character, is the typical shonen hero, but the sidekick magician Poppu and the friend/rival Hyunkel are more complex and interesting.

How is it in Sanjo usual toku works ?
