Lovely show...

Talon, got any new suggestions? I'm watching "Bleach" but I need a nice shoujo. Subtle, yet sweet. Charming, yet more to it than just tugging at the heartstrings. And pretty animation.

Rosie, sounds like you're going to need a new anime after Christmas! Let's see... I could loan you "Fruits Basket" if you're willing to watch it relatively quickly (within two months, say) and ship it back... ditto "Rurouni Kenshin". Or you can have a copy of "Full Metal Panic"... what do you want? More feeling-oriented, shoujo dramas? Or a nice shonen action series?

Hm...right now I'm kinda in the shoujo mood, mostly 'cause I'm writing kiddie fiction and watching FMwSS...after Christmas, I'm likely to want to get away from that for a bit...

What's Full Metal Panic about?

I really, really like the music I've heard from Fruits Basket...so I'd say despite what I've just said, that's probably top on my list, if you'd really be willing to lend it to me!

gah! you don't ask for much do you? I find ones that fit that bill few and far between. I have not seen much like that in the recent fansubs... but I might have missed one. There are so many and I have slacked off keeping up with them all. Hence the ones I am going to list are all released. But damn it, bootleg them if you have to because they are worth it. Hana Yuri Dango! Also called Boy's Over Flowers (gag! some pun titles don't translate). It is out on DVD (er... some of it...). If you have not seen it yet you are missing Fruits Basket level goodness (well close anyway). If I was going to list my other favorite romance shows dis regarding 'shojo' and 'pretty' as key I would add Maison Ikkoku and Crest of the Stars. Maison is Rominko Takashi art so I like it even if it is not 'Clamp pretty' so to speak. Oops, brother called and interrupted the train of thought.
