    Well, I think they'll eventually finish the series... in about 10 years.

    But at least Ranma 1/2 is frequently shown to new Anime watchers, so it
at least has a chance for exposure.

    I don't really think Inuyasha is all that good (Chris will probably kill
me for this).  It is like any other generic adventure.  The love story
you've seen a gazillion times in Ranma 1/2 already.  The only reason I'm
still buying it is that I already got 13 volumes, don't really want to stop.

    RT should just end Inuyasha soon and resume writing Ranma 1/2!

    The quote is from Chrono Cross, in the ending when Kid reminisces
everything that has happened in this adventure.  Kid goes out of her way to
make herself uncute... or rather Square does, but this finally falls apart
at the end when she (or rather, Square) can no longer pretend that she's
just a tomboy.  I knew she's still based on the cute girl template the
moment I saw her (the original character design Square abandoned is just
*too* cute.  It'd have killed off any chance for mystery), no matter how
hard she acts to pretend otherwise.

    The new design for Schala is pretty darn cute, too.  Kid is more
beautiful when she wants to be, though.  Unfortunately, this happens exactly
once in the game, when you beat the game, and Kid decides to stop being the
hyper tomboy and become a regular girl again.

Kid says she'll find Serge no matter when, no matter where, even if they
don't recognize each other anymore.  Does that mean I can be Serge, and I
should expect the Unstealable Gem of Chrono Cross to knock on my door one
day?  :)
