Well, for good or ill, I have a friend getting a copy for me on Sunday. As soon as I have time to watch it I'll try and give a brief review so that those with any interest know what to expect. I don't really hold high hopes for this series but I've got to see it nonetheless.Has anyone seen the pilot episode of the ATG series that William Shatner was supposed to have starred in but failed (thank god)?

This thing is disturbing. I was clawing at my hair watching just one episode. It's not very flattering towards Alexander from what I've seen. I don't mind artistic license (even if the designs are as insane as this) but, jeez...
And I like anime! I would say avoid.

Weeeeeeeeeelllllll...If you *do* decide to purchase it, don't forget to use the Amazon links on this site, so that Thomas can at least benefit from it too, and keep Pothos going for a bit longer.Crikey, I'm starting to convince myself to shell out the cash! :-)All the bestMarcus

Ok, let me get this straight...Alexander in anime design? Hmmmm, I presume his features will be highly exaggerated, and appear to be hyper-optic-colorful? Cannot see him that way, I just cannot. Animated? That's wild! Too "trippy" for me. Perhaps he would like it..kind of like an archaic Achilles and the Myrmidons cartoon.

One thing that always makes me laugh is how one can criticize Nixon for being under the Influence of Patton in his decision making while realizing how much Alexander had been influenced by Achilles and Homer. Thanks for reminding me.
