An excellent anime rendition of a cult-classic Japanese comic, also rendered (not very faithfully) as a TV show. The anime goes back to the first couple of volumes of the comic for its plot and is all the better for it. Violent, funny, fast-moving, with charming heroes and a genuinely nasty arch-villain, although not for all tastes. (Note: The brainwashing subplot is kind of left-field and has nothing to do with the original story.)
