I've regretable have only seen pretty much only the 1st season, of
LoGH... My review was posted awhile ago when I was working on the Scifi
Anime site (one of the internal staff). Unfortuanatlly the site lost it's
commercial sponsor and USA Network had to cut back on the staff hence me
and the producer eventually were axed... cause we were the new staff. I do
plan on speaking to a few people I still know there at SCIfi for other
purposes... by the way the sci-fi anime site Still get's most/more of it
hits from any part of there site to current date (I will assume this trend
will continue till the end of next year). Sci-fi recently ask the producer
whom I know to come back as Freelance to continue the site "no further
comment on this topic"....
PS I'm looking to get 2nd season and eventually 3rd season LoGH on SVHS
via SASE strictly (using new tape; if can I would like to get ET-MODE copies
to save on money). Also the movies... so if anyone can email please.
