So, yeah, I just watched the whole series on YouTube, and, honestly, despite some quality issues, I f***ing love this show. A bit heavy on stock footage, and the dub was really rough especially in the beginning, but I absolutely love the story.
And yeah, Anubis was a straight up badass. Probably my favorite face turn in anime.

I loved this show back in the day (late 90s). Such a classic show!

It's kinda weird because Anubis is my favorite character overall, but Dais was hands down my favorite Warlord. And it's hard to deny Anubis' badassery once his voice actor got comfortable. "Quaaaake wiiiith.... FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This is the show that got me into anime. I agree that there were some issues with quality, for sure... some of the dub (okay, a LOT of the dub) was unintentional comedy (my sister and I could never not crack up at Sage pressuring Ryo not to let Mia and Yuli come with them and then hilariously, insincerely telling him, "Ryo, I know it was tough, but you had to do it, buddy!").
But Anubis was freaking hardcore, and the music was fantastic, and there was just something about the show that wasn't really like anything else. I think it was that strange self-containment of the story... it was all somewhat surreal. It aired completely out of order when we watched it, too, which made it seem dreamily disjointed, and again, that music... we actually went and hunted down those background music songs and they were so good.

Loved this show. Didn't catch it until it was on Toonami,but yeah. I had a Ryo figure growing up just because I thought he was cool looking, ha.
Always bugged me that they pronounced his name wrong, though.

I haven't seen this show since I was kid, but I remember loving it. I should give it another look and see if it still holds up.
