Green Legend Ran is the kind of anime you'd to see on the sci fi channel at four in the morning one night out of the blue and absolutely love. It's really a diamond in the rough, folks. The story might seem unoriginal but it was a fairly unexplored concept when it was made. The idea is a little similar to Trigun and Origin: Spirits of the past, which I think some's reccomended. It's darker in tone, though, and the conclusion is a little abrupt. The art isn't outstanding but it serves it's purpose. Some characters are more thought out design-wise than others, which isa bit of a shame. The sound serves its purpose but you'll just as soon forget it. The story outshines the characters sometimes but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. It's still worth watching, I've enjoyed it a lot over the years.
