When I mean the flow from the OVA I meant the stories were broken up into arcs, the first 3 episode were based around Mason while the next 3 were around Largo although episode 4 didn't really make much sense in connection with the Largo story. Yes it's an OVA but other OVA's like Samurai X and Golden Boy had better flow even though they weren't released normally like TV series but they worked well for the focus of one main story. I guess what I'm trying to point out is that if you try to watch all 8 episodes of the original BGC OVA in one go, the story wouldn't flow well because the majority of them are quite episodic and have different stories, hence the titles of the OVA were also changed from "MegaTokyo 2032" to "MegaTokyo 2033". You'd most likely stop at a certain episode like say by episode 3.

2040 may or probably is an exploitation of the original but it worked perfectly for the international market with its success, and without that success Parasite Dolls wouldn't have even seen the light of day.

There's nothing wrong with not wanting to buy a certain series but the constant cheap shots at 2040 for something that you haven't even seen one episode of seems a bit hypocritical. This is what I'm getting at, it's OK to feel and think what a series will be like before you see it but when you go all out and make comments on something based on summaries and opinions on the internet it seems...how shall I put it? Unfair? I've learned this myself with His and Her Circumstances. Originally I was turned off by its title but when I was curious to checking it out, that was a good decision because the series was actually pretty fantastic. I'm not saying you have to like 2040, what I'm trying to point out is at least watch some of it before you make an opinion or judgement on it.
