This gets a "B" from me but that's purely the fanboy speaking here, it's really not that enjoyable. It was an ambitious project seriously hampered by bad animation - espacially the dynamic was way off most off the time - and very inconsistent story quality through the episodes. Also, the "Loc-Nar" frame story was neither asked-for nor did it add anything. Some good songs don't really save this from being a slight to big disappintment.

(My biggest disappointment here is the Den episode - Richard Corben's artwork deserves so much better than the shit they put on screen, plus they even gave Den a loincloth -wtf I thought they tried for adult animation?)

 

As ultimately hollow as HM feels, at least it's much better than HM2000 where they did better on the animation but completely forgot about everything else

This animation has grown on me for years. What a classic. A masterpiece. Loved the final saga the most.

Parts of it are kinda crap but the soundtrack just fucking rocks (pun intended).
