Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?
No, Firefly doesn’t count as lesser-known.
Akira.
Absolute classic.
Have you read the manga? I don’t usually go for manga personally, but that one was very much well worth it. It pretty much starts and ends in the same place as the film but takes a very different route to get there - which is not surprising as Katsuhiro Otomo had only written the first volume or so when he was asked to work on the film!
