i don't see a difference between the 2 series, but it did introduce me to some
fiiiiine boys. Kame, Jin, Teppei, & Mocomichi.
i can see why those who watched G1 first hated G2. i watched it because it was on LA18. XD but, it did solidify an interest in Kame for me. so when a little j-drama called "Nobuta wo Produce" rolled around, i watched it because i recognized Kamenashi. LOL. the rest is history.
god, this was in 2005? o_o
