Actually, no. I mean, I'd seen the old OVAs when they came out in the mid-90s and really liked it, but there was no way I could buy the (then-)65 volumes of manga to find out the rest of the story (what, I was like 16), so it kind of settled back into my subconsciousness until nemissa sent me the scanslations (and the raws to finish off parts 5-6) back in February. I must have burned through all 80 volumes in a week. I'm not sure I didn't damage my brain doing this; it's a bit like being crushed under a steamroller of weird. D:
Since then I've been trying to force as many people as I can to read the damn thing, since really, if you're on the right wavelength, it's so much fun! XD
