Did you see Video Girl Ai? Would you consider that magical girl? It
certainly got pretty serious at the end.

Before seeing the Baiko-Tamasaburo pair in action I would have been
skeptical of any claims of characters who are simultaneously ultra-feminine
and ULTRA-bad-ass. ^_^ In fact I've never really bought into that tough-girl
persona in it's zillions of permutations -- the tough-girl always breaks
down in the end into a softie.

But Baiko and Tamasaburo are one set of ladies I definitely wouldnt want to
have wearing the enemy's colors, so to speak. ^_^ Of course, I guess the
fact that they're not human has something to do with this. ^_^ Regardless,
they are just WAY cool.

It's clearly because of the tragic dearth of SM/SMJ pages out there :o( I
found very few, less than half a dozen decent ones. Any you like shoot them
my way s'il vous plait . .
