man I would have been like 14 at the time I wasn't into no fru-fru show like this at the time. I was watching Gundam Wing and Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim. I think I started this near the end of 08/start of 09.
the kit is from 2001 though so it's either based on Toei's Kanon or the actual Key art. I really can't tell but I think it's based on the Toei design from the art on the box it came in.
