Grady - ever seen Haibane Renmei? its my favorite anime serie and it borrows a lot from Hard Boiled Wonderland and.....
I've never seen that and now I'm very curious. What kind of elements does it borrow from Hard Boiled?

I always debate labeling Hard Boiled as sci-fi and like to think that it straddles the line of sci-fi touching that side of the line and then returning back.
