Amen to that! Good to hear from another Celeste Burch worshipper ^_^ 
It's so refreshing after listening to Manga drivel to find someone 
who puts real feeling into a voice-acting role ...

For the benefit of US listmembers, I should point out that the only 
version of Tenchi which Pioneer has released in the UK is the dubbed 
VHS version (just up to the Tenchi Special at the moment), so the 
majority of UK Tenchi fans aren't able to make that comparison.

Think about that when you start buying the subbed TV episodes (snff..)

Ask, and you shall receive. Most of the components of a Ryouko 
Windows Pack are already on ryouko, including wallpapers and samples 
from the first dubbed OAV. I did post the Ryouko samples to 
Venice...I assume they're still there. The samples I made were:-

   lesson.wav   -- "It's time for today's lesson...schoolboy!" ^_^;;
   beaudemn.wav -- "You are one beautiful demon!"
   batllost.wav -- "Oh well, another battle lost. That's the story 
                    of my life..."

I have the equipment to produce more samples from the dubs of OAV's 
1-6 and the Tenchi Special. If you have any suggestions, please let 
me know.

You call yourself obsessed? I spent months hoping and praying that 
the "ryouko" hostname would still be available on Demon Internet by 
the time I had enough money to buy an account ^_^;;
