Message: [QUOTE="gekiganwing, post: 275120, member: 131018"] A common two-part problem from the 1990s: 1. The OAV series adaptation gets localized. There's no ending or a rushed ending. 2. The original comic doesn't get localized for a decade. If you're lucky, the translation is finished before the company goes out of business, or the books stop selling. [I]Video Girl Ai[/I] was one example. The six episodes on home video were easy to find. The comic translation was eventually finished, but it progressed slowly through the late 1990s. [I]Tokyo Babylon[/I] was another example. Only two episodes with no conclusion, just hinting at a larger story. Tokyopop released all seven books before the company flatlined. [I]Here is Greenwood [/I]is yet another example. If I recall correctly, there's a fourth wall joke about the anime episodes being just promotions for the manga. It took years, but the main story got localized, without the side stories. For what it's worth, [I]Sweat and Soap [/I]has never been adapted to animation. The cast are average successful people, mostly in their twenties, so a live action version was created. [I]Liar Game [/I]has never been adapted to animation. Since it's about a bunch of messy post-college people, it's received two live action versions. [/QUOTE]
