LOL! Ok. :-) That sounds pretty good. I know that I am still thinking about 
that
 
one, and want to see more.

Oh no, you don't want to see it dubbed. I want to watch it all again with the
Japanese voices, because Aya's voice is just so very, very bad. So bad that I
wonder why they couldn't figure that out by now....certainly there have been 
enough
 
good VAs doing anime that they should know how to choose one....not this 
company, I
 
guess.
Buck doesn't like to watch subtitles, he hates to have to miss what is going 
on on
 
the screen...so for his sake we watched it dubbed. Shudder.....

Disappointing ending? Well...that's no surprise. I guess since I haven't really
been hooked on a series for so long, I am willing to take the chance. At 
least I
 
know not to get my hopes up.

Actually, you are right. I barely noticed the name change, since it isn't as 
weird
 
as Samurai X <grin>, but I have known about this show for a year or more as 
Ayashi
 
No Ceres, so I just automatically called it that. I read translations of a 
couple
 
of the Manga and got hooked that way, so I really have wanted to see it for a 
long
 
time.

Not as a selling point, LOL! But I do appreciate the art. The animation cuts 
a lot
 
of corners, but the art and character design is gorgeous. Who is the first most
attractive anime woman, in your opinion???

Right now, we all love Yuuhi. He is just hilarious and I knew that he was 
going to
 
be the odd man out with beautiful Touya around. Seems like he is the 'nice 
guy',
 
and Touya is the mysterious hot dude. Ceres has barely surfaced, so we don't 
know
 
her yet. Yeah...I gotta get this series. I think it only has three ? DVDs so 
far,
 
so maybe I will just buy it slowly. Although that is frustrating if you are 
really
 
into a series!

Oh, I figure that there is no chance of that. Heaven help it if the pair you 
want
 
actually get together! LOL! Oh wait, I guess I kinda got to see that with 
Tenchi
 
and Ryoko.... ;-D
