actually i liked the anime, athough if the cgi show would have had
power armor like the anime it would probably have been the closest to
the book. you're right it is next to impossible to find. i've never
seen it on ebay, but it was floating around on yahoo auctions. i
check in periodically to see if it pops up. there was a comicbook
store selling the whole series in the raw japanese unsubtitled for
like 20 bucks. unfortunately, i lost the url of the site. with the
effective death of vhs tapes i don't have the first clue of where you
might be able to get it.
