Sixty Years Since Mighty Atom: 2005

Two “action series” in a row might not have seemed all that bad if not for bumping into memories of negative reactions entangling both of them. That could, though, have made moving on to the first episode of Aria the Animation a bit more welcome. It hasn’t been that long since I returned to that series through a Kickstarter-funded box set, if at a moment when I thought I did need to watch something long held up as “relaxing.” Since then I haven’t quite managed to get to the follow-up series also included in the box, much less the original manga. I recall the translation of it had been started twice by two different companies only to grind to a stop unfinished both times before the third attempt, years later, had proved lucky.
