Ever read "Biomega"? Seems like it'd be right up your alley.
I recognize the art style, I think somebody recommended the author's other work to me too, I'll have to throw it into the list, from the little I've read about it, it seems like it would have been a perfect 50 episode run series, The gaul that terra formars got 2 seasons and 4 OVAs and they had the nerve to release heaps of garbage with massive budgets and stuff like this with solid concepts that should be easily executable with a mass international appeal don't get made is a testament to the cowardice and foolishness of people who make these financial decisions.
Amen. I've run in to countless manga, by now, and constantly find myself asking, "How is this not an anime? And a best-seller, at that?!?!" I got temporarily excited, when they came-out with that Blame! movie on Netflix. I thought: "holy shit, are these crazy slopes actually going to finally make a Biomega anime?!?!"
Alas: nope. However, definitely worth a watch. The author's right up there with Shirow Masamune and Hideaki Anno, IMO. Biomega is one of my favorite mangas ever. I went out of my way to buy the physical copies, because I appreciate it that much. I don't buy a lot of manga, for the record. I own a handful of series, in printed form. Biomega's definitely one of them, though.
