Sigh--I need to develop some anime-importing connections. . .
I see some of the characters are named "Elric"--Leiber influence? That metal arm and leg Edward has looks like it was influenced by Six Million Dollar Man. (I include the link in anticipation of the question, "What's Six Million Dollar Man? :-)
Speaking of Scrapped Princess, I still haven't had a chance to watch that--I've been planning to after I finish Part 3 of the article, which unfortunately is taking forever. Kerry's got so many Commie connections it could take a book to cover them all.
"I see some of the characters are named "Elric"--Leiber influence?"
I meant "Moorcock", of course! Have him sitting next to Leiber on the shelf next to the computer so when I looked over there my mind went dyslexic :)
Eep, I hope no Moorcock influence, I don't like the guy's work.
