It's me, I still exist! Furthermore, I finally finished dragging myself through Jetman! It took me over a year I think, but I had my reasons, like being busy with life and also not liking Jetman.

I certainly understand its huge influence, and it definitely feels ahead of its time, but to a modern viewer it just feels like a bad, slightly more modern show than it is. The writing was typical Inoue and the cast was overall really weak, with Grey being the only character I liked instead of being apathetic about. Grey was a total class act though, he rocked. Overall, it wasn't a great show, but I've seen worse. It just wasn't terribly motivating to watch.

I have to give a special mention to the incredibly unintentionally funny ending though:
I knew the spoiler that Gai ends up dying, but I had assumed it would be some epic heroic sacrifice against the final villain, not Gai getting stabbed by a random street punk and bleeding out on a bench at a wedding while happy music plays. I was in total hysterics!
