I can't wait to read Hajime no Ippo as I learn Japanese. The more Japanese I learn, the better the chances of me re-reading the underrated Silent Möbius. Be able to read Japanese like that woman that recommended the Sorcerer Hunters manga to me that day.
Oh yeah! A half-Asian tomboy told me that Trigun Maximum and Berserk manga have been reprinted.
I remember when it used to be on G4TechTV. That's how I grew up with Silent Möbius, Gatekeepers, Last Exile and said anime my tomboyish friend loves. Still not sure why Read Or Die (TV) was broadcasted there. It wasn't even sci-fi.
At around the same time I watched Rahxephon and Last Exile, I watched Ghost in the Shell like every night before high school. I also remember watching S-Cry-Ed at around the same night as 2nd Gig.
By the way, I re-watched Infinite Ryvius a few months ago. I'm reading School Rumble as I wait for further future Macross movie news get announced.
There is supposed to be a Space Battleship Yamato or Star Blazers movie coming out this decade.
The longer story is I don't dismiss a series simply because harem is one of the themes, or there's fanservice. I pay attention to how the writer builds the relationships between the various characters as well as whether or not the fanservice actually serves a narrative purpose rather than being there simply for the purpose of servicing the fans. I also don't dock a series for commonly used tropes, such as the overpowered character or demon lord, although the latter doesn't apply to this particular series. It's how the trope is used, but a lot of the reason for rating Anifureta as highly as I did would have to do with how the writer handled various narrative elements that I often see not handled as well.
That said, despite rating the series hi, if I were to review the series recommendation would be mixed, given the fact the series is likey to attract the attention of those who aren't fond of/dislike harem and there also being a few squick issues, what with how he gets his powers - things I'd go into a bit more depth on and possibly end up with a slightly non-spoiler free review to alieviate worries.
