Aaah, the sayonara episode in Kenshin . . .  "The fireflies are beautiful
tonight, aren't they?"  Sorry 'bout that . . .

Off the top of my head . . . in the first Oav when Tenchi decides to after
Kagato and during Yosho's duel with him, or was that snow?  Oh yeah, that
was snow, nm.  In the 2nd Oav however there were cherry blossoms in the
Sasami/Tsunami episode.
