And after Tuxedo Gin and One-Pound Gospel, I think I've had enough boxing manga. But I'm glad you're expecting to enjoy it!

Frog -- I want to see more, but it's not a high priority and other things keep bumping it) but there were enough distracting elements (okay, the needless T&A) that left me liking the concept less than when I hadn't seen it. OTOH, I've been meaning to say something about how much I liked the preview of Tail of the Moon. This one isn't grabbing me like Beauty Pop but it's got a lot of potential.

David, I hoped to like RoD, but the bit of the animation I saw disappointed me. It's a great concept, but it didn't come across for me.

That seems odd, but I'll certainly look for it. 3 versions of Train Man? That seems odd, but I’ll certainly look for it.

The OAV, TV series, and previous manga were all good stuff. Lovely gimmick, too. I am all over that new RoD book. The OAV, TV series, and previous manga were all good stuff. Lovely gimmick, too.

I got to see the movie at Otakon along with the TV show and enjoyed both. I enjoyed the movie enough that I will probably pick up the DVD when it comes out. I just read somewhere that Del Rey may publish the original novel. I will get that too. I have a soft spot for stories that center on a character transforming themselves for the better and being rewarded for the hard work.
