Eps 3 & 4 I found even more hilarious. Internet Cinderella story is fun. Yes, when you look at it, it paints the anime otaku in a pretty painful light. The train otaku probably is not a JR employe ...

The Cutey Honey original TV series? Glad you find it interesting. I kinda like the funky 70's music.

In my book, the best new anime right now is Fuujin Monogatari/Windy Tales. If you like Ghibli Style stuff, you will like it. It's not necessarily the art, which is very stylistic, sketchy, watercolor ...

Anyway, it's really hard to say how it will be. The trailers are p ...

Heh, you didn't know about this? Actually, not being a rabid fan, I didn't know about until a little before last Christmas. Rumor has it that some members will be visiting next week.
