That is the best suggestion. Right now im not even interested in 3X3 Eyes,
Macross II, Sailor Moon, or *Gasp!* Ranma. I am finding out right now that if
I want to watch anime, I would rather see Lupin, Space Cobra, Dragon Ball,
and Urusei Yatsura.... you know.... that "old" stuff :-)

Also the main reason why I am watching anime right now is to keep up my
translating skills so sometimes the last thing I want to do is watch anime
"for fun". Of course if it is one of the above, hey I'm all for it! :-)

Hey, I'm living proof that you can have both a life and anime. I'm also
proof that it is possible to not like Orange Road. :-)  You would be amazed
at how doing other things will increase your enjoyment of anime.

	This should be my last post regarding kasumi since we beat it to
death already. I know from personal experience that Kasumi is faking the
ignorance. I am often accused of ignoring everything going on around me.
However, I do notice them. I just put the information away in a memory bank
and store it there. Believe me, it is hard enough to do that already.
Moreover, I see no point for Kasumi o scream and run around like an idiot
such as Soun and Genma do. After all she is a lady and that is not the
"proper" way for lady to behave :-)

	BTW, I do believe Kyoko in Masion Ikkoku is also like Kasumi in that
she is able to handle choa calmly. Just remeber that.

Spoiler Warning*******










Huh, with someone mentioning this one, and the fact that I was just showing it
to a newbie in my dorm last week, had a few questions.
Is there a synopsis or script floating around? I have the Viz comic, but the
plot was obviously changed some in the transition to anime.
What do you think of the scene towards the end of the show with Adisa(Sp? I
don't have the comic in front of me) sitting in her guest room, crying and
summoning the slug-ghosts. Looks like a bout with suicidal guilt/depression.
Am I reading too much into that scene?  (btw, scene was just after she wakes up
from nightmare flashback of her mother attempting to throttle her, and failing
gorily)
The guy I was watching it with and I kinda thought that the whole drift of the
anime version was that Adisa was some kind of foxwife or like-minded demon/
monster, maybe which had devoured the soul of a little girl, and become
convinced that she/it *was* that girl. The plot of the story would follow as
the desperate attempts of Adisa to act human, according to the rules that she
understood. Whenever things wander out of the framwork in which she thinks
she should be operating in, she takes drastic measures.
I don't know, I kind of like Adisa, even if she is a monster, she is a monster
with very human faults and vulnerbilities.
Sorry for all the unnecessaryspoilers.

AKIRA is wonderful.  Streamline's AKIRA blows (IMHO).  There's only
one difference between the two : the acting.  That's what I don't
like.

Really?  Everyone I've talked to says that BGC peaked near the end!
Ask people which BGC episode is their favorite, and you'll get #8
coming first, followed by 5,6,&7 (although maybe not in that order).

I think the best episodes in terms of plot and animation are definitely
5-7.   BGC's low point was 2-4, with formulaic plots and animation that's
better than one, but not up to the level of 5-7.  I'm one of the minority
who likes 4...

  I did get the distinct impression that the story was condensed.  Too
many things just happened w/o explanation (to my non-Japanese

  But none of this tells me what the story is about. can anybody

  BTW, since Dark Horse is doing Caravan Kidd, is there any chance of
Capricorn being done in the future?
