Yes!!!!! That's exactly the kind of information that's so helpful -- advice
from a "veteran" about what sequence to watch a set of related series. It's
often not too obvious what goes where and what's worth watching. I use El
Hazard as a poster vid for precisely this type of confusion -- I had to do
*research* to figure out what the heck is "Magnificent World" and
"Alternative World" and "Wanderers" etc. etc. They sure don't tell you on
the packaging. :PPPPP
