TEN YEARS AFTER

Let me see if I get this straight.

You're setting up a cyberpunk-Chuthlu-anime-police campaign with Wild-West flavor and 1970's racial-tension. An evil Yakuza warlord with his undead legions. Holier-than-thou-art paladins. Nanotechnology to reshape humanity. Skyhooks and orbital death rays. Anthropomorphs in search of their own humanity. Guns, cute girls, swords, swords reborn into cute girls, cops, 'borgs, espers, Yakuza, wizards, Yakuza wizards, kung-fu action, gun-fu action, bunny-fu action, dragons, and vampires.

Plus tight uniforms and fanservice.

One thing to say, Ross.

Daaaaamn.
