Gotta love the differences in play. Okay, I can see where even being
zero Rep objective, the Aqualogies give a lot for bang for the
(comparative) buck. I'm still scratching my head as far as what an
appropriate counterbalance might be, though. Hmm....

Cruel. Perfect with the "owner chooses target" Challenges, too. Why
*does* Torgo always run into the Fusion Gate, anyway? ;)

Actually, this brings in a slight 'problem' with both cards: they
essentially stop Basilisk and others from fragging cards. (Ghod - try
and word it so they don't.. eek.) If you trash Razorback to sleaze a
challenge, does that count as dying?... I might open the wording up a
bit to simply say "any time a Runner is trashed", which solves the first
problem and creates the second. Still easier to deal with, though.

Seen Akira. Don't remember it :)
Ditto with Heavy Metal.
Ditto with Ghost in the Shell.
I miss out on all the anime!

Seems to be popular.
