I watched the original, and this does it no justice. I can't even do a comparison, it's that bad. It's in Americanized retake of a Japanese manga-inspired TV series from the late 1990's/early 2000's. The mainstream media will dub it as a success to fit a certain agenda but the real fans out there know what this is. For someone new to CB... I don't recommend calling yourself a fan after watching this; save yourself the embarrassment.
