though i like e. e. doc smith book and david a. kyles book of lensman and the anime and which be loosly base on the book and be quite a fun and somewhat innovative fair . though the story may seem familiar to sci fi or fantasy buff and such a some kid on an isolated planet inherits mystical power and avenge the death of his family and it be quite an entertain one nonetheless . plus and lensman be the first animated motion picture to use hand drawn and cg animation all at once . sure and it may look a bit outdated now and but it be still an innovation . if it be not for lensman and none of that would have ever happen ( personally and i think computer graphic look well in animation that live action . ) too bad they only release it on dvd or vcd in a few country in the worls ( mostly on format that be quite foreign and different ) . i just wish they release the lensman movie and tv series on dvd or vcd in every part of the world and not just certain part . p. s. worsel rule . i just think he be so amazing and neat look as well .
