>>23391654>it was some multi media situationI think it's that but I haven't actually looked into it.
>who proceed to do fuck all and suck.It's a really slow manga and I think getting cut short really hurt it in that regard, because I have a feeling things would have ended up pretty different - the author does basically say that how it relates to the anime never gets explained, and there's one or two things that lead me to believe the events of the manga would have been more important than shutting down the gate.
I do still think the anime's better but I think I prefer the cast in the manga (been a while since I watched it though), they get up to some fun stuff and the results of genetic engineering are way more concrete and you get some cool stuff from that too. The mecha that actually don't get rushed out are cooler too, unfortunately that's maybe two of them.
