Your first paragraph is brilliant for comparisons, but I would add Harvey Kurtzman for his and Tezuka's innovative breath of subjects.

Aw, I kinda like it, actually, though the old dub was pretty hard on the ears. If nothing else, it does have a great soundtrack and a pretty amazing first ten or so (wordless) minutes.

Two of those first ten minutes were the opening credits which were basically spent staring at a giant bird's arse. Not cool. The other eight minutes on the other hand were pretty cool, I'll give you that.

This is the one thing you should just get even if you can only get it second hand. |
I don't see any negative here, the stories are pretty much standalone, anyway. But yeah, it's a masterpiece to which only Tezuka's Buddha can compare, IMHO.

I remembered finding and reading the second story online, and...yeah. I think that was one of the very few times where I had no idea what to think of it. Ever heard of the phrase "mind f**k"? Yeah, that's what Future is like. While the content itself was good, and it certainly was creative, it was the presentation that left me with the question "holy crap what did I just read?". I don't need to tell you what went on. Go read it yourselves if you're curious.
I think JesuOtaku put it best in her review of the anime adaptation. She mentions not to watch the final arc (which adapted Future) alone at night. It was too hard- and definitely too expensive- to find the DVDs necessary, so I went to read the manga, and...you know what happened.
