A new series is called Great Detectives Poirot and Marple which is animated by OLM who's known for Steel Angel Kurumi and Pokemon. First episode is out if you guys want to check it out.

Err.... hmmm....naw....

I think I'll stick to just reading Agatha Christie. Heck I even like the old old versions of the movies, but that animation and the style just looks a wee bit cheesy

Agatha Christie + Steel Angel Kurumi...

I'll check it out, if only out of morbid curiosity...

Well.....I'm game. I've read a few of the books so I'd be open to seeing this. Characters are not exactly what I pictured but that rarely happens anyway regarding movies/animation.

Well, considering the fact that I don't read anything without pictures, I'll check it out. This way I can judge it on its own merits.

Remember folks: There's no such thing as a perfect conversion.

I watched a fansub of episode 1 yesterday. This may be due to the fact that it was animated by the same people who did Pokemon, but it does kind of have the feel of a kids show. I still think that it's worth checking out, though. It may be directed towards a younger audience, but it surely entertained me.

...

Does Poirot really say shit like "my little grey brain cells" in the books, or is that just the doings of the show's writers or fansubbers?

It's been a while since I read a Poirot book, but I believe he does use that term.
