Greetings

It seems that I have been limited by higher authorities to only one message
so I will have to make do with what I have here.

-The artwork and storyboarding in Kyuketski Miyu is held in high regard on
 my list of animation favourites.  I really wish that Kakinouchi Narumi would
 give us Miyu fans something new soon.
-All of Rumiko Takahashi's works are well loved by her many fans out there,
 one of them being me (of course).  Urusei Yatsura, One Pound Gospel, Maison
 Ikkoku, and the most recent, Ranma Nibunnoichi.  One Pound Gospel and Ningyo
 no Mori are her single production OAV's that impressed me very much, esp.
 Mermaid Forest.
-I remembered someone posting information on an episode of Ranma (#31...?)
 that had female Ranma become female in personality from a head injury.
 Is this true?  If so, I will definitely try to see it sometime.  I also hope
 that the Ranma series ends well.
-Tenku no Shiro Laputa is on my animation list among Miyazaki's artworks.
 I liked his artworks at that point in his career the most.
-Just this past summer, Kadokawa released Arslan and Silent Moebius, The
 Motion Picture in the theatres in Japan.  I was able to catch Silent Moebius
 later and was quite impressed with the effort that was put into it to keep
 it consistant with the original character designs.  Still, the Comp comics
 books are my standards or references when it comes to Kia Asamiya's art.
-There were posts back awhile ago that stated there were translations out for
 Silent Moebius.  I hope they do the original dialogue credit.
-Although I think I mentioned earlier on that Kimagure Orange Road was my
 favourite in terms of television series, please allow me to do so once again.
 I just wish that there was some SD version artworks of KOR on the market.
-There was a series on TV that ended some time ago, but I thought I should
 mention it as being another big anime title of mine.  The television and
 OAV series Patlabor were beyond my expectations.  I particularly liked the
 background musics by Kawai Kenji, not forgetting the excellent vocals.  My
 favourite character in the story, Kumagami Takeo.  Favourite labor, Patojan.
-In the manga field, Masamune Shirow's Appleseed and Toshihiro Hirano's
 Tattakae Iczer 1 are well liked by me (mildly put).
-The opening of the Bubblegum Crash OAV's, very interesting.  I also liked
 some of the other Bubblegum Crisis OAV's.  The dark 'Blade Runner' like feel
 of the world created by Kenichi Sonoda is what I truely love.  The animation
 producers even gave credit to the movie Blade Runner as their source of
 inspiration.
-When the animation market releases Fujishima Kosuke's Ah My Goddess and
 Taiho Shichaouzo, I'll be there in front of the animation store camped out.
-Last, but not least, The Record of Lodoss Wars, or Lodoss Toh Senki has my
 full recommendation.  Simply artistic.

 This was the shortest synopsis of all the animation I like that I could make.
 Sumimasen.

     Please excuse my momentary 52 lines of lapse of reason.
