Background is similar, but the plot/story is different. IMHO, the blonde Nene is much cuter than the old redhead. Only wish they will finish the story in the coming OVA. Recommended. * Metylancer (OVA) Some of the character design is good, some are not. The release of the episodes are a little bit too slow. So-so. * Mamotte Shugogetten (TV) AMG clone with slightly different setting. Personally I found Ryuon too silly to parody Urd. The only cute character in the anime is Risu. She is much more cuter than Shaorin. I now have a Risu figure sitting on the work bench on my office desk. ^_^; Not recommended. * Card Captor Sakura (TV) IMHO, the best maho shoujo seires in recent years. Both Sakura (Kinomoto/ Tange) did a great job. Her "Hyayan", "Heeee", etc. are very cute. Normally I hate Clamp's character design. Sakura is the only exception ! A Must Watch series. * Taiho Special TV seires Slightly better than the normal TV series, and follow the original manga more. Recommended * Cyber Formula Sin (4th OVA series) After 1 TV seires and 3 OVA series, I still found this anime interesting. Maybe I like racing anime, as I also like the very old Grand Prix no Washu TV series. Can Kaga Shotarou overcome the monster machine ? Can he make the main character Hayato lost his championship ? Vol.5 is coming ! Recommended. * Master Keaton (TV+OVA) First 20+ episodes are TV, then the following episodes are OVA. At first I thought this will be a soldier anime, but it manifest into a good detective/adventure/drama series. A little bit like MacGuyver. Recommended. * Kodomo no Omocha (TV) I still have not finish the junior high school hen. A very touching series about the life of a hyper-active childol (child-idol). Kurada Sana make me think of Maeda Ai, the real life childol. Ai-chan is very, very cute. Highly recommended. * Yamamoto Yohko (TV) Not releated to the previous 2 OVA series. This time they have more interesting characters : the little cat-eye girl, Yamamoto Yohsuke, etc. They have some good plots too, like Ayano Elizabeth converted to the enemy side. ^_^;; Highly recommended. * Parallel Trouble Story : Dual ! (TV) At first, this is a Evangelion clone ! Then it manifest into a different thing. Defintely Kajishima's style. Highly recommended. * Detective Conan (TV) Interesting detective stories. The double episodes introducing Haibara Ai are very good both in plot and character development. I still not have the chance to watch the famous Two-Mix episodes ! Conan meet Takayama Minami !!!!! Similar to Kiki meeting Usura (sp?) !!! Recommended. * Cowboy Bepop (TV) Magnificant TV series. The feel is very good, and the OP just suit the feel nicely. "Spike-Spike-Fei-Fei" ^_^;;; Ed is very interesting. Highly recommended. -- 'CuSO4' Yung cuso4@cuso4.com chyung@hknet.com
