I was dead into the books when I was younger, so I jumped at the chance to see an animated version. Manga released it on VHS. Even then it was shallow as hell and ignored 90% of the novel's content, but it was fun.

For extra bonus nostalgia points, the first time I saw a clip of the anime, it was being used as a 'aren't the Japanese mental' clip on the Clive James show.
