So everyone knows the feeling of watching something as a child and loving it, than going back to it when you're older and thinking "that was the worst show of all time, I'm now disappointed in myself for ever liking that." Not this show though. I watched every episode when it first came out and I loved it, actually I was obsessed with it. And very recently the blue ray version came out which I bought immediately, but I was worried, "would this be as good as I remembered?" And luckily the answer is yes. I enjoyed it more than when I first watched it. I was able to take in more of the beautiful artwork, the wonderfully designed and explained characters, and all of the phenomenal storytelling. There is so much character development that you almost feel like you know the characters (which is great until you finish the show because then you are a bit bummed). There was a quote by someone (I forgot whom it is from) that goes,"you know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend." Well that's how it is for this show. I loved it then and I love it now. Whoever you are, I encourage you to watch this show, as it really is one of the best shows out there, for children, teens, and adults alike.
