TV Anime Guide 25 Feb 10/Trivia Challenge









Greetings and Salutations to all my loyal readers and newcomers too! I apologize for taking so long to post this but PC problems have plagued me.

Anyway to make up for it there are several pix and two videos included with this post of my TV anime guide for ComcastOnDemand and Q 1 to 20 of the InuYasha trivia challenge.

Next post you get the answers. Enjoy the reads and views. Sayonara for now my tomodachis- K&K

TV Anime COD View Guide for Feb 2010 25 Feb 10

Bleach will be expanded from 1 to 2 hours. FLCL returns at 2:30am.

As to the rest of our week meaning Mondays:

MONDAY: AniMondays from 11 PM to 1 AM will run two eps of Monster followed by Blood:The Last Vampire anime film this week.

Desc/Darkness ended last week. These will air on SYFY (Channel 47)

Two eps of Witchblade will air back to back from 11 PM to Midnight Mondays on IFC (Channel 164)

IFC (Ch 164) no longer airs other anime.

Basilisk concluded its run a week ago or so. It was replaced by Monty Python's Flying Circus at 11:30 PM on Tuesdays.

That's it for `normal tv anime viewing' but read on for all the stuff on COD:

Meet our own anime babe spokesgal- Neko Olson. animeontv.com has theirs so we have ours too. Neko (kudos to highteckdudu who created her and allows me to use her image and character in my fanfictions) is a shapeshifting nekomata/demon/cat (neko is cat in Japanese)/human/trill. Read all about her in Xmas with the Dirty Pair here in Chatterbox and in Angel Wings at http://www.eons.com/groups/group/anime-a-holics/blogs and look for another stunning work of art from HTDD in an upcoming Xmas chapter here at Chatterbox.

Our own anime spokesbabe the kawaii Neko Olson is at top of this post.

Kitana the anime spokesgal for animeontv monthly TV anime guide is at top of this post.

Kudos to the Q&A gang here at GAIA for telling me how to post pix using Photobucket and I forgot that I already had an account there!

I'm so used to posting from EONS that I never thought of anyplace else. A big domo arigatou to both xi-kwoo and Mystic Deadman for all their help.

Anyway as this is 25 Feb 2010 Akeome to the Chinese NY and the Year of the Tiger and this is the fourth edition of ComcastOnDemand TV Anime Viewing Guide for the new year folks!

First I'll list the OnDemand anime and some cartoon listings for this part of February and then I'll list the other items of interest regarding anime series, films, books, reviews, NFL, cooking tips, golf tips, videos, audios, etc.

You are liable to find just about anything at all here each post depending on the whims of my EONS(aah) and/or YG(AH1) groups or my bloggees, readers, posters or whoever.

Most eps and films are free but some are pay per view and are so marked. PPV anime series eps are usually first ep free then 99 cents each additional ep, films are usually $2.99 or $4.99 but some may be a bit higher.

From now on I'll post this list twice monthly and I'll keep it under `Files' rather than `Messages' or `Blogs' (at www.Eons.com/groups/group/anime-a-holics/Files) amongst other sites (see notice)

SYFY's AniMonday (11 PM to 1 AM ET) is a double eppy of Monster (Doctor running from the law for a crime he did not do- sound familiar?) followed by a different anime movie. This week's offering is Blood:The Last Vampire.

Good news from SYFY folks! AniMonday has been expanded from 9 PM ET to 1 AM ET with the first two hours called Chiller. Chiller will feature unusual and scary anime film masterpieces beginning with Blood:The Last Vampire which spawned the Blood+ saga and a brand new live action film now running in theatres. Looks like 24 August will be Chiller's debut.

If you get SYFY in the SE PA-USA area you are still getting Star Trek-TNG reruns from 9 to 11 ET on Mondays dammit!

Hey WitchBlade the film (with Sarah Pezzini not Masane Amaha- yech!) will hit theatres in a year or so while DragonBall and Death Note are already out there showing.

Many more anime based flicks are coming soon and they are filming Bebop with Keanu Reeves in Dave's role as Spike Steigel.

For Jett I'd pick LF- Larry Fishburne or even MF- Morgan Freeman. Denzel Washington or Samuel L Jackson don't fit the mold.

How about Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana as `Ed' and Lindsay Lohan as Faye Valentine? (Rafe) Donnelly could be Tommie Lee Jones. Hey I oughta be a Hollywood cast finder eh?

Gad, I wonder how much of a muckup they'll make of the `Bebop', `Swordfish II', `Redtail' and `Hammerhead'? I don't think Ed's power scooter had a name although we all know the computer she wore on her head with `goggle monitors' was named `Tomato'!

In both Code Geas and in FMA some of the characters have a special logo in their eye a la Code Lyoko's XANA logo in the evil characters' eyes.

In both Death Note and Bleach there are specific hints as to character origins. In DN Ryuuk tells Light Yagami that any user of the DN book can neither go to Heaven nor Hell after death. So what's left? Shinigami World meaning that DN book users after death become Shinigami death gods- right?

Guess what live TV series is a DN parallel series? Hint- it's on Showtime.

In Bleach Rukia's Squad 13 captain (the one that is always sick as a rule) tells a subordinate that Ichigo's friends are special with unusually high spiritual pressures. He goes on to say that he would not be at all surprised if after death they became soul reapers themselves after they had passed on to the Soul Society.

Renji Abari committed a minor faux pas in this week's eppy. While fighting one of the Arrancar Hollows he told him that by the time Kiske arrived the Arrancar himself would be dead. He apparently forgot that all Hollows are already dead to begin with.

For that matter are soul reapers really alive or dead?

Now the gang's playing soccer & Kendo with the KKTown kids! Wonder how Yamamoto likes that? They are supposed to be training for the winter war with the Arrancar & Aizen!

Ichigo, Urryuu and Chad have just met three Arrancars and their pet in the Wako Mundo desert on their way to Las Noches (The Nights) which is Aizen's HQ fortress.

Seems not all Arrancars and Hollows are bad because these guys gave `em a lift and are guiding them to LN. Live and learn guys.

Why are they in WM? Aizen has Orihime of course! (see new post for more)(This is where they will pick up the tale in May supposedly gang)

Bleach pulled a bummer on us and has dropped back 30 eppys to the first time the Vizoreds came to Kara Kura Town so no new stuff for awhile I'm afraid.

Try bleachanime.org which has every single eppy on DL.

New club Bleach4Ever just started up on FaceBook too.

Another new Bleach group on FB besides the B4E group just started too.

Anyway Icchi's being taught how to control his Hollow within by the Vizoreds and Orihime's shikigami Tsubaki was just recreated by one of the Vizoreds.

Now she can fight in the upcoming battles with at least one attack weapon.

Toshie and Rangiku are fighting again as are Ikkiku and his compadre.

Toshie had a vidscreen visit from Momo who wants him to save poor Cpt Aizen! Of course he can't promise that since Head Cpt Yamamoto has ordered his death.

Things are coming to a head and it looks like Aizen needs Orihime for something.

Yamamoto has explained about the Hojio Key that opens the hidden dimension where the royals of the Soul Society live. He wants to take over and plans on killing the royals to do it.

He swiped the Hojioque but needs a catalyst to open it as well as the souls and place of 100K humans!

In other words all of Kara Kura Town and everyone in it!

Renji Abari is sparring with Chad hoping to increase the big guy's power.

Kiske is acting like a jackass as usual and Yoruichi is being mysterious again.

All jigoku (Hell) seems about to break loose so stay tuned folks!

Discovered why Moribito theme music is so familiar. Group is Arc `n ciel who did the GTO theme Driver's Edge.

Early OT and ET for Death Note are done by Nightmare group which is what the Black Knights and Brittanians' Gundamlike fighting suits are called.

Is this the end of Morabito? Sure seemed like it after Saturday's eppy! (Gone but not forgotten now)

In FMA Ed has learned truth behind the Ishbaal massacre of fifteen years ago while brother Al has just discovered the identity of the Homunculi leader from the snake chimera Marta seconds before she was murdered by the #7 Homunculus- the Fuehrer King Bradley himself. He is Pride- the seventh deadly sin! But- who is his boss?

Rose of Lior has become pals with Lira the girl alchemist who used to be with Yochi the state alchemist army lieutenant and she's now called the Holy Mother but she has gone mute and who's her baby's father?

The climax seems to be fast approaching and it promises to be exciting so don't miss it gang!

Hohenheim the Elrics dad is back and going after Dante. Al has become a deadly time bomb courtesy of an unknowing Scar and an evil Kimlee the Crimson Alchemist who used the red stones in Ed's SAA watch to transmute the souls in Scar's arm into a philosopher's stone! (This FMA has ended at least for now and has been replaced by FMA:Brotherhood- see below for details)

The new Ed & Al FMA called Brotherhood premieres this weekend (see details above) and seems to be a retelling of the same story only from a different perspective and with a totally different ending.

For example this one takes place mostly in our world- the land beyond the Gate of Alchemy between the two world wars.

Another Bleach note- why did Aizen want Orihime kidnapped?

What or who is the sojioque he has stolen which will awaken in the winter? Who is the lad newly born from its power?

What does Kiske know which he ain't telling?

Can Ichigo defeat his Espada nemesis?

Don't ya just love that jutsu used by Captain Toshiro Hitagawa- reign over the frosted heavens! then the name of his zambatou?

A version of it is used by the evil Dragon Emporer in Mummy 3 when Jet Li turns a field of snow into jagged ice stalagmites. Of course he has mastery over the five Chinese elements- fire, water, earth, wood and metal! If there are only five elements in Chinese philosophy then how can there be an avatar or guardian of the air- Avatar the Last Airbender?

Air is not one of those elements!

And who's the looney tunes Espada poor Rangiku is stuck with?

Avatar in theatres is NOT Avatar the Last Airbender. Instead Avatar is like a BGR or a Gundam! Now it will be Avatar vs Avatar with the new The Last Airbender (coming to theatres in July) which is the live film version of Avatar the anime series featuring Aang and his companions from the 4 lands in the far distant future.

Avatar the other one just fell to another Johnny come lately film!

Getting into DLs and ULs and burning CDs again. Finally got myself into attaching videos to messages like I do pix now and thanks to Blaine it's so easy! Check out the fave anime moments/eppys message log here.

Several Angelic contributions are there courtesy of yours truly. Mama's new read is Helma from the Tros of Samothrace series. Ho hum so far. Tros is getting interesting now- very interesting with refs to English countryside landmarks.

Dan Brown's Lost Symbol was just excellent! I loved it. A lot of Freemason stuff in it I didn't know. If any of you are Literary Guild members by all means check out the secret societies books they have at reasonable prices.

I have just added three plums to my anime vids collection: Complete DVD sets of Noir, Gasaraki and Tactics. I already have the complete set of Black Lagoon on DVD and partials on Blood+, Cyborg 009, FMA, Bleach and a few others.

I have the first 7 eppys of Morabito and am on the lookout for the set. Bobby has the complete set of Trigun and Mama has the complete set of Gunslinger Girl and Witchblade. Anyone else have any new acquisitions to talk about?

If so blog it here or post some messages folks.

Bobby has Monster and I have My Santa and I just got Santa Claus Conquers the Martians on DVD. Now have Bebop movie on DVD and VHS. Just got GS Innocence 2 and Haunting in Connecticutt. Thundercats came at last for Mama.

Still have yet to watch DB Evolution film.

SYFY is airing Destination Truth which is like JBs old Digging for the Truth on HC. DT is hosted by Josh Bates or Gates and looks pretty good.

Anyone know why SYFY considers wrestling science fiction stuff?

This just in folks! Josh Bernstein has revamped his website and is now using Twitter too. He has a fab group called JBs Group at YG.

Dan Brown is on both Twitter and FaceBook now.

What do you guys think about my starting an anime recipes file and a golf tips corner either here or at AH1 or somewhere else?

Animeinfor.org is the only place I have ever seen an anime recipes section.

As for golf tips- what can I say? I love golf- passionately even if I don't play as much as I used to. Gomen but I just remembered this.

Kudos to Robert the artist for hire for finding Dan Doh- probably the only anime series about golf itself! Sadly there are no dubs of it just subs. It can be found at VEOH and hulu quite easily. I'll post a pix or two soon.

Golf tips begin here in March. Direct from Golf Magazine! And my own lil hints from 40+ years of the game I love!

Another great show was In Search Of narrated by Leonard `Mr Spock' Nimoy and I recall an eppy of theirs re the Knights Templar and Foucault's Pendulum. If anyone knows where I can find a copy of those gems on VHS or DVD onegai let me know. A big domo arigatou in advance for your assistance.

Gotta really go now and get some blogging done and maybe post Chapter 69 at last.


Just began reposting Xmas w/ the DP at www.gaia.com/forums/chatterbox/christmaswiththedirtypairChapter2 and just posted Chapter 1 (after Ch 50- sorry long story gang) and have now posted Ch 52 as well.

Great pix too as I am now illustrating my posts of Xmas over there. Wings will follow as soon as I finish posting it here and at ff.net.

ANOL is giving me fits too.

Just found out I may get an HP Windows 7 for Kurisumasu. Actually it's coming ashita and I just emailed Justin for some help in transitioning from Vista to W7. Didn't get it yet.

Has anyone seen G Force yet? How about Haunting in Connecticut?

Someone has suggested at FaceBook that our anime is dead.

Boy did that ever open a potboiler of contention! If anime is dead well nobody told Hollywood! DragonBall, Watchmen, GI Joe, Blood:TLV, Transformers2, the list seems endless eh?

How about Tim Burton's 9 and Pandorum eh?

I have now posted up to and including Ch 68 of Wings. I am trying to get Xmas and Wings rewritten and published. Think they will sell?

A note to budding authors- Avoid `author mills' like AuthorAmerica and AuthorHouse. All they want is for you to pay them to publish YOUR works! They guarantee nothing!

Likewise avoid AbsoluteWriters Water Cooler for info and inspiration. They are quite negative and attempt to discourage a struggling author!

I'm on FaceBook now you know. This is getting to be more like a newsletter than a guide. Any suggestions?

I am considering a monthly golf tips column and a recipe file a la animeinfo.org.

I just posted (Files) two Thanksgiving dinner menus. Comments?

Sports fans! I just started a group at Showtime's Beat the Insiders and it's called Saint K's Anime Friends. Come & join me there next NFL season and at FanIQ.com if you like.

By the way my Saints are the highest scoring team in the league with that first time ever SuperBowl victory slaughter of those hapless Colts!.

Sorry there's been no Ch 69 of Wings yet but I've been really busy with blogs, surveys, polls, reviews, guides, posts and now sports NFL groups. Soon I promise you will see Ch 69 and maybe even the end of Wings before Xmas.

Kudos the Divine Wind which is the Saints- They have finally conquered all and won SB XLIV 31 to 17 over the hapless Indy Colts!

Kudos to Drew Brees our MVP of the game and the best damned QB in the NFL- bar none!


MY PET PEEVES: A pet peeve here folks.

Why is it that in most anime the characters either walk (InuYasha) or run (Bleach) everywhere they go? Didn't the Japanese ever hear of transports?

I'd love to see how Kagome could get an SUV through the well!

Cars in the Soul Society's Seretai? They've got wide enough roads there surely?

And Ninjas and Samurai never seem to have carts, chariots or wagons although Samurai rode horses which was why they made the Zanzabatous like the one used by Zanza on Kenshin.

Balsa did ride a stallion for awhile on Morabito and on Code Geas Lelouch's `brother' Rollo does have a motorbike w/ sidecar.

Trains are the transport on FMA although Mustang and Hawkeye did have a car in last week's eppy.

DN and Blood+ have cars, boats, trains, planes and the like. So does GS and Bebop.

Naruto has modern stuff but no transports.

Guess it's to each his own meaning whatever the creators decide.

Latest read was Danny Brown's excellent fifth work The Lost Symbol (soon to be a flick?) which was quite good if a bit wordy. Damned thing took me 3 days to read!

With 2012 coming next month to home video it was quite apropos. Hints: A famous statue stands in front of the CIA HQ building in Langley and is a pivotal part of the storyline. There are a lot of hidden details in Washington DC and Dan Brown's a history buff as well as a secret society expert. He more than proved that in Angels & Demons and then again in the DaVinci Code.

By the way he's got a very entertaining website at www.danbrown.com so if you like tricky logic puzzles and codes by all means visit him there.

Oro else have I read recently? Sax Rohmer's Shadow of FuManchu.

He is the old-fashioned Darth Vader and the leader of a group out to save the Earth from its inhabitants. They are called The Seven. His nemesis is a Scotland Yarder named Sir Denis Nayland-Smith who with his trusty sidekick Dr Petrie pursues Dr FuManchu the same way Holmes and Watson pursued Prof Moriarty all those years.

His latest escapade involves collecting scientists and killing anyone in his way. Looks like the Brits, Yanks, Russians and Aussies will have to band together to defeat Fu and Huan Tsung his sidekick.

Some pair- Fu was at least 90 when Smith met him 60 years ago (Fu has the secret of eternal life. Has he discovered the FMA Stone?) and his pal's in his 80's!

Geriatric? Far from it! Smith's on his own this time unless you count his scientific buddy Carter who is about as useful as Zorro against Darth Vader! What a wimp!

I just began reading Ellery Queen's `The Finishing Stroke' mystery classic. A bit like Lost Symbol- it has a cypher EQ must solve to find the killer and it takes him over 20 years to bring the miscreant to justice! A must read for EQ fans like me!

Here's oro the Keiman wants for Kurisumasu (Christmas) and I doubt if such a thing even exists. A wall clock (battery powered) that plays anime themes every hour on the hour. Now oro themes would it have? Nonstop Angel (DP Flash); Billy in Despair (Death Note); Life is a Boat (Bleach); Real Folk Blues (Bebop); Freckles (Rurouni Kenshin); Guardian of the Spirit (Morabito).

That's half and for the rest how about Sailor Moon, InuYasha, RaveMaster, Gurren Lagann, NOIR's haunting watch melody and another Angels theme? Comments?

Oro anime music would you suggest for an anime wall clock? I'm interested to see if they are in my music collections. I did find some stand up clocks with all kinds of anime characters and most are about $20 USD.

Sorry but I misplaced that data but I'll find it and post it here soon. No Angels clocks. Maybe they have some at rightstuf?

Wanna know what my third ff will be re? Sorry re is Latin for about and is used as an abbreviation for about by many publishing houses and whatnot.

Think this is something? You oughta try and read my class notes from school & college? One guy thought I was using Nostradamus's codes!

I use a little bit of everything when I write as you well know.

Anyway my new and as yet untitled ff will concern the search for the lost Templar treasures- on Neptune or Pluto! Why?

Zoe's from Pluto and I have the Big O contingent under Alan Gabriel's command working with Neptune Command.

The Angels will be back with Angel 1 under Yuri's command, 2 under Kei's and 3 under Flight Kommandant Marlene Angel's control.

Her exec- Suba(ltern) FC/Acting Commodore Kome Sawaguchi- who else! Kei's exec?

Probably Han Solo nai I'll make him Yuri's #1 and Kei will use Mr (Joey) Bishop who will transfer from `Starfleet' to the 3WA when Ellen Rodgers (remember her from John Berringer's `Starcrusher' crew?) joins `Starfleet' and is promoted to Lt Commander status by Admiral Janeway herself!

Reg Barclay is still Kiva Nerese's exec of course.

How does the 3WA and the UG get roped into a treasure hunt and can I keep the Rune Soldier treasure hunters out of this one?

These require more thinking on my part but I believe descendants of both Lord Caervarvon and Howard Carter stumble onto a starmap in a hidden Templar temple- in Iceland!

Could the Templars have created star craft that exceed our own devices today?

Hell yeah- why not? Banking, credit, cheques, letters of credit, credit cards, computers- they invented all that stuff, didn't they?

Oh yeah a new pilot has joined the force- 2nd Lt Legato Bluesummers has been assigned as shuttle pilot for the Michaelangelo on the Angel 2.

Will they find the treasure trove?

Will Dexter Morgan ever get caught?

Will Dr Tenma be vindicated?

Will he kill Johann Liebert?

These are questions you don't ask writers and authors my tomodachis!


Just joined the Clan Nation Dawn Radicals at animeleague.net so y'all come by there and see me, ya hear?

Just ask for the Keiman and if you want to join up with us tell `em the Keiman sent you.

They are into everything anime and I mean everything guys and gals!

Over there my chapters are posted under Literature & Writing and I have some cool welcome posts too. The Guide can be found there under Anime/Manga subforums.

OK a mystery pix for you and here's a hint- she's one of the Angels' crew and under other circumstances she'd be in Kei's brig! Good luck! It's ? the space pirate and smuggler gal- Jon Harlock's niece! ?, Harlock Saga, Galaxy Express 999, Cosmic Warrior Zero were all spawned from Star Blazers and I posted a clip on my FB page for dear Robert of NCRowanCountyanimeclub at YG. The blonde second from the bottom of the column of pix at the top of this post is our mystery gal!

Happy birthday Robert (24 Feb) and many happy returns! ? pirate/smuggler skipper of the Emerald Queen and niece of Cpt Jonathan Harlock himself.

StarBlazers crew & their starship are posted at top of this post. Here's a clip from the series:

http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/all/watch/yapi-gVAtfbEUTko

Over to animeonline.net I will be posting everything in an AO Blog 'only' because it is the only place where I have no posting problems according to Cowboy who is our admin/mod over there.

Come and take a gander at it. I'll post a link or two as soon as he sets it up. It'll be like my journal that I have over to animeleague.net under ALJ called 'Keimanzero's Anime Announcements Parlour'.

Feel free to PM any questions to me or Hell just PM me at keiman0@yahoo.com even if you just wanna chat.

Love to hear from ya gang.

Will I ever get that Angelic Demons/Demonic Angels clan started over to ANML? I need 12 members to do it. Let me know if you are interested eh?

Of course it won't be for awhile anyhow. Will we though?

Must try to catch up on my AO Blog Journal and my Journal at animeleague.net.

Angel fans will be thrilled to know I am reposting both Xmas & Wings at DP2 a YG group run by King Nozmo the Great.

Please check it out and join if you can. He just celebrated 11 years online.

Kami bless him and the kind folks at NCRCAC & Anime Clubs Unite at YG even if the gals there at ACU do argue with me over the first anime on American TV being AstroBoy in 1958 (they say '63) and not Lupin III in 1957 (they say '71 BION) and they have a lively conflab going re Yaoi/Yuri (Yaoi is guy and guy while Yuri is girl and girl relationships) in anime!

Me? I could care less. I say let kids watch whatever they want and ditch the V chips & parental codes on TV sets! The US Constitution is for ALL men (and women) and that includes kids! Don't like it? Rewrite the damned thing! Time will tell eh?

Time to go. Next edition will be shorter I promise. Really & truly!!

Sayonara all- K&K the Keiman of Anime.

Missing Pix & Mys Pix Answers

Gomen (Sorry) gang but now I can finally get around to giving out the answers to those pesky 'Mystery Pix of the Posts' queries. I'll do that first and then I'll post those 'missing' pix from my earlier blog posts. That was before I learned how to post pix here. Still dunno how to attach video feeds yet. Gimme time tomos all. I'll figure it out. I just joined VEOH so at least now I know where to find videos. They even have the elusive 'Kakurenbo' (Hide and Seek) for DL.

Another great source for CN's Adult Swim animes (Ugh! And cartoonies!) is www.adultswim.com/videos and for HellGirl and Witchblade www.IFC.com/videos

www.bleachanime.org/videos has every single subbed/dubbed video episode for Bleach the anime series up to the current ones which are in the 4 or 5 hundreds!

The InuYasha shrine at www.furinkan.com/inuyasha/videos is a great video source for IY episodes, eppy synopses, characters and voices' information, weapons, locales, etc. for this fine series.

Enough of this. I promised answers to mys pix and here they are sorted by date of post beginning in February 2009. December 2008 and January 2009 are the ones with missing pix:

8 Feb 09: My brother's fave anime dude is Vash the Stampede of Trigun. The planet is of course Gunsmoke.

11 Feb 09: Everybody's fave superhero when they were kids was Astro Boy!

16 Feb 09 (Ch 32): The NOIR of Les Soldats quartet are Mireille Bouquet (Blonde), Kirika (Kira) Yuumura (In front- dark hair with a gun), Chloe (Redhead with throwing 'kanai' daggers and Altena (tall shadowy figure in background). NOIR is the 'killing arm' of 'Les Soldats' (The Soldiers) an ancient secret society who firmly believe that some people must die to protect world order and keep Terra from chaos and destruction. Although the Angels are destructive and deadly the 3WA ain't in the same league as NOIR where two females are chosen before birth to be trained as assassins and to begin killing assignments at the age of 2 or 3. Kira killed the Bouquet family when she was 3! The Angels didn't even graduate from the Academy until they were 14 and by that age schoolkid Kira had already joined up with her 'soulmate' Mireille who being older made her living as a contract killer and took Kira under her wing not knowing that Kira already knew how to kill and could teach her a thing or two!

16 Feb 09 (Ch 33): That grinning corpse is Alucard of Hellsing. His name is Dracula in reverse or backwards. He is a vampire and fiercely devoted to the van Helsing family especially Sir Integra Winifred van Helsing whom he protects and serves. 'Police Girl' is Seras Victoria the cop whom Al was forced to kill to destroy an evil vampire. He gave Vicky the 'kiss of the undead' to revive her as his acolyte. She calls him her 'Master' even when he tells the girl they should really be closer than that!

18 Feb 09: Brock, Ash and Dawn, the trainers and wannabe breeder (Brock) from Pokemon. Pikkachuu (Ash's golden Pokemon) and their other Pokemon 'warriors' surround them.

20 Feb 09: Nicholas D Wolfwood whose middle name is long and unpronounceable. He is both a preacher and one of the infamous 'Gung Ho Gunmen'. That 'cross' is a carrier for handguns, rifles, shotguns and grenades. The long arm acts like a Mark XX does for the Angels- a bazooka! The series is Trigun and he is Vash the Stampede's best friend. Jeff Nimoy, nephew of Leonard Nimoy of Mr Spock Star Trek fame voices Nick excellently well. He also voices the 'ring announcer' on DragonBall. He has done parts in Pokemon but more in Digimon, the Pokemon spinoff.

21 Feb 09: Sorry but since this pix was just posted today 1 March 09 and the PC got the dates mixed I cannot really give you this answer yet. Hint- Check the message boards at anime-a-holics over at eons.com

25 Feb 09: That blonde teen (He's 13) is Julian from DP Flash/Act III/Ep 4 (#15 overall) 'My Lovely Boy in Rose'. The third is the 'Colours' act with either a 'colour' or the word itself incorporated into each title. For the Flash Angels and ODP Nozmo has a great episode guide while for the original Originals try Wim.

www.elenorecity.com (Nozmo)
www.japantale.com/dirtypairshrine (Wim)

The premise is pretty idiotic. Julian is obsessed with 17 year old tro con Yuri. (Big deal, who ain't eh?) However, this kid collects figurines, dolls and everything Yuri-esque he can find! Then he builds a robotic Yuri and a life sized 'dollhouse' for her! Then Kei meets 'Yuri' in the park and when 'Yuri' ignores her she decks her one! Yuri would just hit back but 'Yuri' walked 'home' and fell apart! Kid's gramps is my inspiration for the self proclaimed 'God almighty' of the 'UG' and the 3WA- Vittorio Francisco Xavier 'Uncle Vito' Galadriel! His loot keeps the 3WA solvent and he insists Yuri pose for Julian so he can rebuild his 'Yuri'! This one really was Kei's fault! The kid adores Yuri but when our Yuri makes a play for the rich boy he panics. Yuri discovers he loves the Yuri 'image' not her and goes ballistic. Especially after she moves into the kawaii 'Yuri House' and finds no food in the kitchen nor a toilet in the whole place! 'My lovely Yuri adores her slender figure too much to eat and my lovely Yuri never needs to use such a disgusting thing as a toilet.' says the kid so Yuri calls in the dipstick for food and to stand lookout while she uses the manse's toilet! Then Yuri decides to marry Julian and all jigoku breaks loose!

26 Feb 09: Meet Ryuuk the grinning Shinigami death god from Death Note. Does he not look like Heath Ledger's 'Joker' from 'Dark Knight'? Ably voiced in the anime series and dubbed into the film version of DN is Brian Drummond. Better known to filmgoers as the crazy psychopathic serial killer trucker in the 'Joyride' films he is better known to anime freaks as Kyakotsu, Renkotsu and Ginkotsu (Risen Band of 7), Juromaru and Kagaromaru. All these roles are from InuYasha. This Ryuuk pix is cool but not the one I wanted. I wanted one with him holding the Shinigami addiction in his claws or talons- an apple! Whoops, I just found one:

OK that's all the answers for now. Finally I will post the 'missing' pix here by date and I will number the pix I post because there are so many this time:

16 Dec 08: #1 is Yuri as a cute lil Santa's elf. Ain't she cute?
#2 is Kei and Yuri atop a jacaronda.

#35 is Forte Stollen, the big sister from Galaxy Angel. (See #13)
#36 is Revy Robert, Benny, Rock Obajime and Dutch of the 'Black Lagoon' company.
#37 is a double shot showing Neko Olson.

Surprise- A Special Treat for You

Konnichi wa (Hello) fellow anime fanatics. I noticed my poll had not been begun as of yet so I started the ball rolling. Now it's your turn eh? Oro (What) is this thing below my salutation I can hear you asking. Wonder no moe for it is a special treat for you folks. If you have been following my blog here you will know that I am a writer of fan fiction (well I did write two although I am still working on the second one) that is getting some buzz in our circles.

My first 'Christmas with the Dirty Pair' was 184 chapters long and took seven long years to post. That one and the new one 'Angel Wings' (27 chapters posted and more to come) are posted and can be read at:

www.fanfiction.net/anime/dirtypair/ christmaswiththedirtypair
www.fanfiction.net/anime/dirtypair/angelwings

An easier place to find them is here:

www.animeonline.net/forums/fanfics/dirtypairfanfiction

However I digress so gomen (excuse me). This is Chapter 1 of 'Angel Wings' so you get a feel for my fave anime characters Kei and Yuri of the 3WA. Enjoy it and just below this sign off I'll put pix of Kei (the redheaded firebrand Hellcat) and Yuri (the violet-maned vixen). Gomen (I am sorry- words do double duty in Japanese sometimes) for running off at the mouth so without further ado here are the 'Lovely Angels'.





Welcome to 'Angel Wings'

DISCLAIMER: OK Revy, it's all yours! First, thank you to Mr. T. for the use of the Angels. Thanks to everyone else who is letting us use their creations. How was that, Yuri? Great! Oh yes it was, Kei! Well, we left you up in the air after our first ff so let's get to Chapter 1 of this one without further preamble:-

ANGEL WINGS

Chapter 1

'Creature From the Black Lagoon' or 'The Angels Meet Revy Roberts'

Facing the rows of folding chairs in the gigantic amphitheatre in front of them Rock was as scared as Hell! His compadre, however, was as cool as a cucumber while she stood beside Rock, a cheroot clamped tightly betwixt her teeth. She smoked steadily directly beneath the 'No Smoking Onegai' sign on the wall. Rock tapped Revy's shoulder (Her real name was Rebecca Roberts but Kami help anyone who called this gal anything but Revy!) and pointed at the sign. Revy shrugged her shoulders and blew a smoke ring into the kid's face.

Both were on loan (temporarily) from the 'Black Lagoon' company in Roanispur back on Terran Thailand. BL was an organisation of hired killers. These two had been 'volunteered' by their boss Dutch to teach the new 'UG' and 3WA recruits here at the 3WA Academy in Furool (Foo-Lon) City on Shimougou in the Aquarian Galaxy. Oro were they teaching them?

For Rock it was proper reporting techniques a la their paperwork. In other words- how to do reports on your PDO (Personal Data Organizer). A 'PDO' was sorta like an ancient Terran cell phone/computer, however, unlike a cellphone a PDO also contained a vidcell phone unit, a medical tricorder, a computer, a local communicator, a word processor unit, several weapons, a homing beacon, a flashlamp, a tiny laser beam, a replicator unit (to make anything you shimatta well fancied!) and numerous other devices!

For Revy (who had not read her 3WA orders) well she hoped someone was gonna tell her damned Fxxxing soon oro the jigoku she was doing here or was she just babysitting Rock's ass again? Revy was in fact an expert with all sorts of firearms and was there to teach marksmanship and martial arts to the cadets.

"Who the Fxxx is that stupid looking bitch up front I wonder?" whispered Rio Delcroix to her seatmate Marina Oki. Rio was a cadet/trainee just starting her advanced training today as was Marina, however, where Rio was an ensign Marina was already a suba or a subaltern in the 3WA.

"Shut the Hell up, Rio! If she hears us she'll sure as Fxxx come over here and she don't look like someone I'd wanna mess with or meet in a dark alley even in the daytime man!" replied Marina in a mono-whisper.

"She's Revy Roberts from Terra, love. She's here to teach marksmanship and martial arts to you. And her nickname's the 'Creature from the Black Lagoon', Rio honey. Her name's really Rebecca but if ya say that to her it's like calling the boss Katie!" answered Legato Bluesummers the big tall BetaZoid captain from the planet of 'Gunsmoke'. Believe it or not he was also a cadet/trainee albeit he already as a captain outranked most of the instructors there.

"Who's the cutey pie next to the Terran Terror?" asked Rio and Blue chuckled.

"Rock Obajime. He's Revy's partner and he's here to teach us all how to write 'proper' reports on our PDOs. I think Revy's his bodyguard while he's here or something. He's a merc (mercenary) with the same group Revy's with but the guy won't carry a weapon and will not kill! Glorious company he's landed in eh? Take it easy kiddies. I think I just saw an old tomo- named Tomah Jordan. Ja mata for now." said Bluesummers and he wandered over to talk to a tall skinny guy wearing owlish spectacles circa a few hundred years ago.

He stood next to a younger girl in a 3WA hotpants uniform with a sash reading trainee/acting ensign across her chest.

"Legato? How nice to see you." she said and he nodded at the blonde.

"Oh hi Edna. You're looking quite spiffy in that outfit." replied Bluesummers. The tall skinny dude blinked myopically and smiled.

"Konnichi wa, Blue. Haven't seen you for an inu's age man. I'm here to give Edna (his sister Edna Jordan) moral support on her first day of advanced training. Then tomorrow I have to start teaching computer logistics to the seniors in the building next door. How ya been?" said Tomah Jordan who was the resident 3WA/'UG' ("United Galactica Federation of Galaxies') computer logistics and programming expert.

"Just fine, Tomah. By the way have ya seen Lee Chan around today?" asked Blue.
"Nai. He doesn't start teaching (martial arts and yoga) until ashita no yobi (the day after tomorrow). Hope he doesn't try to pick up that dark-haired babe with the kid over there." said Tomah, pointing towards Revy Roberts and Rock Obajime.

"Amen to that pal. She's one tough bitch. See ya later, tomo watashi." replied Blue before heading for the snack tables.

"How come we gotta be here today, Mar?" demanded Kome Sawaguchi in a whisper. She (an ensign) and Lt. Marlene Angel were standing against the back wall of the amphitheatre with arms folded across their chests.

Mar shrugged her shoulders at the strawberry blonde teenager.

"Beats me, kiddo. Guess two of those recruits are gonna be ours someday and they wanted us to get a look at them. Wow! That Revy Roberts looks madder than the boss usually does, don't she?" whispered the blonde navigator/sometimes pilot.

A slight short gentleman with kindly grey aizu smiled at them all and stepped onto the dais in front of the class. "May I have your attention please--" he began but the general hubbub soon drowned him out until--

"Shut the Hell up! Mr. Galadriel has something to say to you blasted yay-hoos so pay attention goddammit!" roared Donald Poporo, Unit 9's sector chief. You could have heard a pin drop on the surface of 'Dantoonine' which was several hundred lightyears distant! The shorter gent tried again.

"I am Vittorio Francisco Galadriel, Commander-in-Chief of 'UG' and the 3WA, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you to this briefing session for you young cadets and trainees. I already know a great many of you having met you after our last er incident that our 3WA forces were involved with. For the rest of you I usually allow Andy Gooley my Aquarian Galactic Chief to run things. I'd just like to say that we have gone out of our way this time around to get you the very finest of instructors we could possibly locate to teach you your advanced subjects. Yes even paperwork is on our curriculum this semester. Without further ado let me hand the floor over to Mr. Poporo who will give you all the latest news about your training. Have a nice day and hoob-a-dooble-doo." said Galadriel and he immediately left the podium.

"OK hazu- listen up! You've all advanced to he next level of your training with us. That's 'cause you've mastered the 'basics' that a good tro-con needs to know. If you think that crap was difficult this next stage will make the last six months or so look like kindergarten! We're running a bit late today so I'll quickly introduce your instructors before I release you for dinner.

First off- to teach you karate, baritsu and hand-to-hand combat as well as yoga we have Senior TC 1st Lt. Lee Chan (A tall fellow who looked a lot like the ancient Terran martial arts film star Jackie Chan gave them a galactic salute and bowed. In point of fact Lee was indeed a direct descendant of the famed hero of the silver screen from Terran China).

Second we have to teach endurance and survival skills and tactics to you Chief Stefan Gazelle who doubles as our sports coach. (A big hulk of a guy with long flowing black hair stepped forward and gazed at the class steadfastly before shaking his head sadly and saying 'Pathetic, just pathetic, man!' in a loud rumble).

Our remaining duo of instructors are probably unknown to all of you. They hail from the Terran city of Roanispur in Thailand and come to us highly recommended.

Your third instructor is Mr. Rock Obajime (The kid beside Revy Roberts nodded a tad nervously and managed a wan smile) and he'll be teaching you how to write up proper reports from your missions and daily work so I guess you could call Rock our resident 'red tape' expert.

Last but certainly not least we have Miss Rebecca er I mean Revy Roberts (The dark-haired beauty beside Rock frowned and made an obscene gesture to Don Poporo.

Of the four instructors present Revy was the only one not in 3WA/'UG' attire. Instead the girl wore a black sleeveless tank top, torn and dirty sneakers and cutoff denim jeans. Criss-crossing her ample chest was a double-holstered under the arms shoulder harness and nestling in each holster was a heavy calibre Beretta automatic pistol nicknamed a 'Cutlass'.

She nodded curtly to the class.

"Pathetic is right man! What a bunch of pussy shitheaded losers, Rock!' she chuckled and the kid looked like he wanted to be on 'Dantoonine' at that moment!) who will be instructing you in the finer points of marksmanship and er street combat fighting." said 'Uncle Vito' and he sat down.

Mr Popo replaced him at the podium and beamed at the class.

"I know we all wanna get to chow so I'll dismiss you now that is if there are no questions?" said Don with a nervous glance around the hall.

"That baka moron bitch couldn't hit the broad ass side of a Rygullian barn!" shouted Rio Delcroix before Marina Oki could stop her.

"Hit the deck!" cried Rock and dove for cover just as Revy leaped up and performed a sideways somersault in midair, yanking out her twin cannons and firing all in the same blur of uninterrupted motion.

Four neat little bulletholes had suddenly appeared in the 3WA crest above Mar and Kome's heads! A half credit coin (about the size of a Terran nickel) could have easily covered all four holes! Revy coolly reholstered her cannons and smiled at Rio.

"How's that, you Fxxxing dumbass?" she demanded, spitting out her cheroot stub. Don glanced up and blanched white- his worst nightmare had just arrived!

"Oro's the Hell's with all this Fxxxing noise, Don!?" growled a tall red-headed and green-aizued Amazon dressed in a 3WA red/black skintight bodysuit and red chukka ankle boots. Depending from her right hip was a Mark XIII ion cannon which weapon made Revy's 'Cutlass' noisemakers look like pea-shooters in comparison!

"Ladies and gents- permit me to introduce our newest Academy Chief er for you Terran folks that's the same as a college dean- Marshall Keirran er I meant Kei O'Halloran. Hiya Boss. Miss Roberts here has just er been demonstrating her shooting skills to the class." said Don.

Kei yawned, then spun like lightning back to face Revy, yanking out her cannon at the same time. Over her shoulder she fired two ion blasts in quick succession and where Revy's four bullet holes had been a moment ago now was only a smoking crater in the back wall!

"Kei! How the oni (devil) can I teach first aid with all of this racket going on, dammit all!" screeched a violet-maned vixen with flashing aizu the colour of deep azure who had just bounced into the huge hall.

Her hot pants outfit was a pastel hue of aoishi (blue) and white and complemented her aizu perfectly. White over the calf length Cavalier boots completed her ensemble and strapped to her right side was a teeny tiny (but deadly!) Mark III miniblaster.

"And this is our esteemed Academy's executive chief er vice-principal- Wing Commander Yuri Donovan." added Poporo. Then Yuri saw oro was left of the wall!

"Christ Almighty, Kei! Not another blasted shield? That's the third one you've blasted this month! The 'G Twins' (Andre Gooley and Charlie Garner) are gonna be well and truly pissed, man! Oh er hello class. Welcome to the 3WA Academy or jigoku (Hell) which is oro you'll be calling it pretty darn soon if you ain't already! Good luck." finished the exec.

A desk job/teaching gig was fine with Yuri after that last mission she'd been on but for Kei this was sheer and utter boredom! Revy laughed out loud. Big mistake!

"You freaks got a bimbo broad and a wimpy schoolkid running this Fxxxing dump? I don't Fxxxing believe it! Whassa matter- wasn't Dean Wormer ((The Faber College dean played by John Vernon in that old Terran film 'Animal House') available? No wonder this place is a frigging joke!" chortled the Terran markswoman.

"Hey there Lady! You just watch your mouth there! That ain't now way to be talking about our 'Dirty Pair'!" cried an incensed Tomah Jordan who was holding the door open for Yuri. Four pair of angry aizu (including Yuri's) turned in his direction.

"That's 'Lovely Angels', dammit!" chorused the 'Unholy Four' who are of course Kei, Yuri, Kome and Marlene. Kei strolled to the front podium and glared icily at Revy Roberts.

"Class- you are hereby dismissed. See ya all back here at 0900 ashita (tomorrow) morning." she barked.

"Let's go, Boss. You've got a lotta recquisition vidchips left to sign." said Yuri, adroitly steering the redhead to the portals. Legato grinned at Revy.

"Girl, you just dunno how Kami shimatta extremely lucky you are. The Boss usually puts folks into the hospital for that kinda mouthing off. Your pardon, ma'am. Legato Bluesummers at your service. I'm captain of the 'Raphael'. That's one of the 'Lovely Angel 2' starship's four shuttles. (The others being of course 'Michaelangelo', 'Leonardo' and 'Donnatella') But don't get me wrong now. I'm also a trainee here. Pleased to meet ya, ma'am." said Blue. Revy returned his gaze coolly.

"That Irish idjit's the lucky one, pal of mine. I usually 'kill' folks I don't like, man! And by the way friend- you call me anything but Revy again and I'll rip your Fxxxing head off and shit down your Fxxxing throat, Captain! Nice to meet you too, sir. C'mon Rock. I need a Fxxxing drink, kid." said Revy, dragging her companion towards the bar area.

Kome's mouth was open wide in shock! Mar smiled ruefully. "Here we go again, kiddo." she observed dryly.

END of Ch 1 . Ch 2 coming soon. R/R/S away and Kami bless you all. SYS and SFN. Ja mata and have a super weekend. Toodles-K&K

Several chapters in 'Christmas' have both dramatis personae character lists as well as Japanese/English glossaries and word lists. Check out Chapters 1 through 7 and I think 15 or 20 have some words as well.

Of course if you want you can always just email me at keimanzero@hotmail.com or blog me here with your questions. Feel free to comment on anything in my blogs here or elsewhere around the web. The Keiman's reach is long folks. Sayonara ( it really translates as 'until we meet again' although many people mistake it to mean goodbye. Goodbye is a shortened form of 'God be with ye' and has a similar meaning) for now and see ya soon. Kami (God) bless all of you and toodles-K&K

Angels in Outer Space?

Greetings my tomos (friends in Japanese which I've been teaching myself for over 8 years now. I am also a self taught golfer with 13 aces after 30+ years of play. I am self taught in computing as well.)

Allow me to introduce myself although my full profiles and biographies can be found here:-

www.fanfiction.net/anime/dirtypair/keimanandkei/profile/bio

www.animeonline.net/forums/fanfics/dirtypairfanfiction/profile

www.msn.com/yahoogroups/Animeaholics1 (my own website for anime fanatics like yours truly)

www.eons.com/people/groups/anime-a-holics (my other personally run website for anime fanatics and the ONLY one at eons so far anyway!)

I post a lot at yahoo groups' animeontv (animeontv.com website has a comprehensive anime viewing on tv monthly schedule and I contribute to that listing as well every month)
My 'bible' source swebsite for anything and everything- If it ain't here it don't exist!':-

www.wikipedia.org

I am the renowned (around the global web/net I am considered one of the 'Six'- we are considered the foremost experts on anime in general and our 'Lovely Angels' OK 'Dirty Pair'/'Dirty Pair Flash' in particular!)
Keiman of Anime aka keimanandkei aka keimanzero aka keiman0 aka K&K are my monikers and well if you guys really wann know my real name visit my websites and/or my fanfiction and posting sites. It's there for all to see. I hail from Folsom PA and just about everywhere else in Delaware County in PA. I have also lived in Anniline Village in Claymont DE. Now I make my domicile here in Brookhaven PA a suburb of Media PA which is a suburb of Philadelphia PA.

I am into everything anime and Japanese. For the record 'anime' are NOT 'cartoons' and I shall tell you why too. Cartoons are made mostly in the States and Europe and are mass produced for kids mostly. Tey have little or no content, plot, theme (other than good vs bad because you cannot really call Tom evil even if he does chase Jerry!), storyline and the seiyuu er voiceactors are as a rule horrible!

'Anime' on the other hand must have something to do with Japan in their production, writing, creation and/or contents. They have a definite theme which is sometimes very complicated to follow hence they are geared towards (as a rule) adults and older children (over 12 usually). Their plots are complex and can include many subplots as well. Most anime begin as 'manga' or Japanese comics and originally filmed in Japanese before being subtitled in various languages including English. The really popular ones are then dubbed (English or other language voices over the Japanese audio tracks) and made available all around the globe but mostly here in the States.

Most of us true 'anime-a-holic fanatics' (a real fanatic usually tolerates most if not all anime but does have a particular favorite film and/or series they rave about constantly!) prefer subbed rather than dubbed works although I am different. I love dubbed works because I like the seiyuu (voiceactors) and love to guess who is doing what character. This is fun especially since when the voices cast is posted at the end of a production it usually runs too fast to catch and the jackets of VHS/DVD videos have little if any information about the casts. (A good source for voices in anime is www.voicechasers.com or www.crystalacids.com or www.imdb.com or www.wikipedia.org or www.animeinfo.org to name jut a few. My complete lists are posted and available on my websites for all to see).

What else now eh? OK- I blog, I write reviews for everything anime including anime and live action films and series based on anime shows, I write 'faux interviews' of anime characters (indeed my kei monikers are because of my fve anime character the 'Lovely Angel' Kei. Her partner is Yuri and they are both 'tro-cons' or trouble consultants for the Worlds Welfare Works Association (3WA) the peace-keeping arm of 'United Galactica Federaton of Galaxies' ('UG'). Think of them like secret agents and/or inter galactic police officers on a force run like a military unit! Closest comparison is 'Interpol' although unlike this worthy organization out where the gals patrol and work they are considered- the LAW)!

Where do they work? Their HQ are two and both on a world called 'Shimougou' in the 'Aquarian Galaxy' of the 'Alpha Quadrant' which is near (a few hundred lightyears) Mars. Their original HQ is in 'Elenore City' while their other HQ is in 'Furool (Foo-Lon) City' the former being the domicile city for the original or Classic Angels and the latter the home of the Flash Angels.
The difference? The Classic deadly dynamic duo hails from the 22nd Century (AD 2140) while the Flash team live in the 23rd Century (AD 2250).

Their ages are different as well. Classic Kei and Yuri are 19 (Kei is older by four months having been born 27 Nov 2121 on 'Nioghi' while Yuri was born 18 March (Day of the Dolls in Japan) 2122 on 'Youcha')

Flash Kei is also older than her Yuri but by a mere two months (Kei was born 1 January 2231 on 'Workoh' and her Yuri was born 3 March 2231 on 'Shack-G') rather than four and these Angels were both born the same year.

Here are some pix of the gals.

Classic Kei is a stunning redhead and both Keis are always the tougher half of the duet. The Yuris are more demure than their rough and ready partners.



Classic Yuri has long flowing aoishi(blue)/black or sometimes light violet hair.



Flash Kei has a punk rocker hairstyle and her mane is multi-coloured (yellow, black, orange, red and brown).



Flash Yuri has very very long flowing deep violet (really purple) tresses and is very timid at times as is her Classic counterpart but all four of 'em can fight like wildcats!



Kei's preferred weapons are ion cannons and the bigger the better! (Kei's motto gave the duo their vile nickname 'Dirty Pair':- 'Never blow up tomorrow what you can blow up today!'). On occasion she will use a laser sword or a 'bloody card' although in her hands and with her fiery Gaelic temper (in my fanfics the gals are Irish. Kei's the 'Demon of Dublin' while Yuri's the 'Rose of Tralee' and their last names are 'O'Halloran' (Kei) and 'Donovan' (Yuri) and all Hell breaks loose when they are around- usually!) anything can become a weapon of mass destruction.



On their ships and they have three- all 'K' Class patrol starships named 'Lovely Angel' (1, 2 and 3) they have a monstrous 'doomsday' weapon fully half a mile in length and half that in width (the ships are massively huge possessing fourteen decks.

Each has nine surface levels and five sub-surface decks and their 'God Gun's run the entire length of the ships having their own ionic beam generators for power and projection. Each 'God Gun' virtually 'IS' the sixth surface level deck and is reachable only from Level Five via a twisting, winding, spiral staircase. There is no access from above or the sides even though the controls for it are on the Command Deck (Level Nine- the highest topmost deck) and on the 'Alternate Bridge Control Room' located on Deck Seven) and this 'toy' of theirs on its very lowest setting is capable of detroying 'Luna' or 'Terra's (Earth) own moon!

On iits higher settings it can rearrange worlds and on its 'Azimuth' or very highest setting it is fully capable of 'unmaking' the universes and creations- all of them!

Needless to say it requires four separate people using four separate vidcode sequences andfour different vidcode authentication sequences to unlock the firing controls- both hand (pushbuttons on console) and foot (pedal on floor).

It generates a beam fully one quarter to one half kilometer in width and fully a mile in length. It is capable of travelling not kilos or miles but lightyears in distance in a single solar second!
It has only been fired about half a dozen times but for more of this onegai er please read my two fanfics:-

'Christmas with the Dirty Pair' and 'Angel Wings' at the above mentioned fnfic sites. While you're there in 'Xmas' scroll down to Chapter 21 and read through to Chapter 35 I think it is although- the profile pages have complete chapter number and title lists- I number and name all my chapters ya know- and read all about MY version of Scrooge and A Christmas Carol! I guarantee it's as different as any you have ever read, seen or heard! With the exception of Bill Murray/Bobcat Goldthwaite in 'Scrooged' I think mine is the only one with actual gunfire in it! Who's who and what's the biz of O'Scrooge and the late Ms. McMarley? Uh uh- ya gotta read it to find that out my tomos watashi er very good friends!

In closing here are some pix of the closest I could find to what MY 'Lovely Angel's starships resemble. Enjoy:-













Here's a pix of Neko (I named her Olson and made her into a shapeshifting 'nekomata youkai' trill! She's a full-fledged demon who can become girl or cat. A trill is an embryonic unit planted inside a host) who I used as a character in my fanfics and I must give a gigantic 'domo arigtou' (thank you very much) to my good memeber and tomo watashi- 'highteckdudu' for the use of her creation and pix of not only Neko who is Captain Jonathan Harlock's gunner and navvie but also for this pix she did freestyle from other pix of my Flash 'Lovely Angels'- thank you so much HTDD!





OK here are my two faves of Kei and Yuri by themselves. Er Yuri's is a mite embarrassing- gomen er sorry about that. It's from their 'Project EDEN' film.

Yuri first:-
