I'm torn.

I have fond memories of going to see the original version of this film at the Star John R theatre way back in 1995 when it had its limited run. It was the first anime I'd ever seen in the theatres (alas, I was too young and unaware when the seminal--and vastly overrated--Akira had its epoch-making run) and man, did it look great.

I have not, as of yet, watched any Geass.
