    I'm not sure why I have such a soft spot for this series of animated bloodbaths. Maybe it's my continued insistence that the late 90's early 00's American animation aesthetic isn't as ugly as people say.

I'll keep watching these as long as they keep getting churned out.

I'm definitely going to watch this one again once the english dub…
