Fun read! I always look forward to your posting of articles, but this one was especially cool to read since many don't share your opinion on the matter.

That Oversaber KO appeared in some Korean(Hong Kong? I don't know) knock off film. I have no idea what it was called, I saw it on a website I've long since lost that had pics of all sorts of other knock off films, including the animated film that had Inferno in it.

Also, totally agree that the activators version of the Animated seekers is extremely awesome.
