I've never seen the 1988 OAV (supposedly it's nothing special), so I don't really care if the new versions remake it or whatnot. As for the manga, I'm only familiar with the first two volumes as the other two were never released here, so I can't really compare it to the new films/series.
The 2004 and 2008 films were okay but nothing I would care to see again and the weird graphics didn't help either. The pilot episode of the new series doesn't look any better, it's even slightly worse. But perhaps the plot will be better this time around, having more time to develop characters and events. We'll have to wait and see.
I'd like to hope the series will have a few of those "shock and awe" moments like the films did, that could actually be good enough a reason to watch it.
