I agree with darkie there, Crash has lots of similarities to 2040 or the other way around, as you like it.
Briareos, you sound pretty convinced of what you read. But maybe it would help if you watched Crash and 2040 (or a bit of it) to see what it's REALLY about, not just read other opinions. Make your own. I was and still am a die hard fan of classic BGC, but 2040... it's simply one of the best animes I've seen. You just cannot let them stand side by side and choose, they are too different for that. But what surprises me is how many people here suddenly dismiss 2040 and say that the original OVA concept was exploited / badly redone. I remember two years ago we had a lot of people at C3F saying that they liked 2040 over the OVA, or that both series should be treated with the same respect. And I'm still of that opinion... just stop comparing them.
Lynk, could you try and explain what made you change your mind about 2040? Except overwatching it, of course.

Quote:An OAV remake would be incredible, especially if the artwork, music and plot were as good as the original series', but I wouldn't argue with a slight update of the character designs. Preferred 2040's character designs (except for Sylia).I agree with updated character designs, but not the 2040 ones... if it's a remake of classic BGC, update the classic designs. Look at Firestarter's Nene avatar. THAT looks up to date. (Who drew that pic? Doesn't look like it was done in the 80s.)
