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:-



Now Kei's:-



Just one more for this blog eh? In keeping with the season here is a Christmas tree and may all of you have a happy, joyous and safe holiday season, a Meri Kurusumu (Xmas) and may Kami (God) bless you al. Sayonara for now. Toodles-K&K



Th-th'that's all folks! I have many more pix so just visit my sites and er join up if you wanna. The whole 'family' would love to have ya! SFN and See ya soon-K&K

Welcome to Anime for Fanatics!

Well I have finally created a real blogger site to go with my other two anime clubs:-

www.msn.com/yahoogroups/Animeaholics1
www.eon.com/people/groups/anime-a-holics

I am into everything anime and/or Japanese and have been for quite some time now. Ten years ago I first discovered anime (not cartoons dammit all! There is a big difference ya know! To be 'anime' the Japanese must be involved in some aspect(s) of the animation. Otherwise all you got is a bloody cartoon for the kiddies!) in the form of my two Lovely Angels Kei and Yuri- tro cons (trouble consultants) for the 3WA (World Welfare Works Assn) the peace keeping arm of the 'United Galactica Federation of Galaxies' ('UG'). The 3WA is sorta like 'Interpol' back on Terra (Earth), however, in deep space especially around Mars and their homebase world of 'Shimougou' in the Aquarian Galaxy tro cons are the law!

Many of you anime fanatics out there (you know who ya are!) know my Angels as (horrors! THAT name!)- the 'Dirty Pair' ('DP Flash later on)but if you call 'em that WHAMMO! 'That's Lovely Angels dammit!' is oro (what)(Told you I was into everything Japanese didn't I? That includes the language which I have been teaching myself for the last decade. Just like golf where I carry a 5 handicap and have 13 aces to my credit after 30 years and pc computing both of which I taught myself without lessons I am now teaching myself Japanese history, mythology and customs.)

Around the web everyone knows the 'Knowledgeable Six' of which the Keiman of Anime is one of this esteemed half dozen experts on anime in general and the Angels in particular. I hail from here in Brookhaven PAA (USA). The other five are Wim (Holland), Mr Wilbury (Fla), Nozmo (midwest USA), Tom Mitchell (Oxford in Britain. Tom is our wordsmith and settles all Japanese language arguements for us. He is the Chair of Ancient Languages at Oxford University) and King Nozmo (nobody's sure where he or she is from- gomen er sorry!). We are considered the six foremost experts on the globe!

I have at least 40 members at my other two sites and they are from all over the globe as well. I have a lady from Japan, one from the Phillippines, another two from Australia, several from Europe, many from the British Isles, of course all over the 50 states, Oceania, Africa, China and even Russia! My age requirement is over 12 and then the sky's the limit man! I have a lady who is a great-grandmum and she's well over 80 (She sure don't look it by her pix though)!

I do more than just watch anime folks! I write fanfictions (two so far) here:

www.fanfiction.net/anime/dirtypair/keimanandkei (my nom de plume)
www.fanfiction.net/anime/dirtypair/christmaswiththedirtypair
www.fanfiction.net/anime/dirtypair/angelwings
www.fanfiction.net/anime/dirtypair/keimanandkei/profile/bio (my lifestoy and then some)

www.animeonline.net/forums/fanfics/dirtypairfanfiction (same as above but easier to navigate)

I post here at yahoogroups at many clubsites but especially at animeontv which features a
monthly anime tv viewing guide. Animeontv.com has a section 'series' with oodles of information on everything about the shows.

Wanna see the gals? Here are some pix. Kei is the redhead in the Classic DP while Yuri is the violet-maned vixen in the Classic DP shows. The Flash versions show Yuri with aoishi(bluish) Black hair and Kei with a multi-coloured (yellow/orange/black/red) punk rocker hairstyle. Yuri's hair is lways long and flowing while Kei's is usually short and choppy. By the way ya know why they are called the er 'DP'? It's because of Kei's motto mostly-

'Never blow up tomorrow what you can blow up today!' They wreck everything in sight. After seeing the gals' pix you might have thought there was another reason eh? Naughty naughty! I did say that 12 year olds are members at both sites, did I not?

Here are some pix and then I'll be back with more goodies to share. Here's Yuri at Kurusumasu er Christmastime. Ain't she a cute lil elf? I think she puts ya in mind of Sister Rosette (Chrono Crusade) from the Christmas episode!



Here's our deadly dynamic duo perched atop a 'jacaronda' and this pix is from either 'Affair at Nolandia' or 'Project EDEN'- two of their three anime films. The third one is 'Conspiracy on Flight 009' and features Kei as an airline stew BION! Hard to believe but the duo together have made only 30 hours of video in total yet out of that sort span hve come 51 half hour episodes, 3 films and their famous 15 seconddebut in 'Crusher Joe the Movie' where the gals are onscreen literally as part of a drive-in movie (remember them folks?) feature the characters are watching! That is where it all began my tomos watashi (my vry good friends). The very first 26 eppy series (the original original DP- subbed and never dubbed) led to the 10 eppy 'Original DP' ad then the 15 eppy 'DP Flash' series where unfortunately it all ended. That is except for fanfiction writers like yours truly who keeps the Angelic flame burning brightly through word if not pix or videos! Anyway here they are in all their glory! Kei's the one with the ion cannon in her fist and by the way those are 3WA uniforms they're both wearing- no kidding man!




Her's abetter pix of Kei with her big cannon and Yuri with her peashooter. Kei's the dangerous redhead while Yuri's the violet-maned mischievious vixeny imp in the fur coat behind her:-





OK here's the two classic Angels and the two flash Angels in a pix together.



Here's one of the flash duo together:




Here's one of the classic Angelic duo:-





Now her are two classic poses for both of them. First Kei then Yuri and finally Neko:-








Last one there was Neko Olson. A shapeshifting nekomata or cat demon (full youkai) trill (Star Trek/DS9- rememeber Jadzia Dax?). OK I have to give a big domo arigatou (thank you very much) to one of my members. I met hr at animeonline.net and she was kind enough to allow me to use Neko (I named her Olson and gave her the rest of her attributes in writing) in both of my ff's. This wonderful person's screen name is 'highteckdudu' and she was also kind enough to design the flash Angels duo for me too. Here it is:-



Two more for the holidays. First Naruto the Ninj and tomos at Thanksgiving dinner:-



And now a Kurusumasu tree for Christmas:-



Lastly a blast from the past. One you'll recognize and one well if you're an anime fanatic you just may know her and from whence she hails! Enjoy:-



Recognize that fine fellow? Nai, he is not a cartoon. Not only is he anime heis one of the very first anime to be shown in the States! Cartoon Network was running him latenight up until a half year ago. Now a trivia question for ya. What do the classic film 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians', 'Steel Angel Kurumi' and thisfine laddie's anime show have in common? If my blog here is successful I'll answer it for ya.

Here's the last lady for your perusal. Dig way back for this one. I got her pix from the former Manager at animeonline.net- DragonBall and I owe her a huge debt of gratitude but hey! us anime fans are all just one big happy family, ain't we? OK- if my blog picks up I'll tell ya who she is too! Good luck tomos all:-



Couldn't split without telling you that the 'Lovely Angel' is als the name of the gals' patrol starships. Well Haruka Takachiho (he invented the gals and so in his honour I gave the 3WA/UG Academy on Shimougou in Furool (Foo-Lon) City his name 'Takachiho Academy' and I wish him a belated happy birthday (7 Nov). His Angels' birthdays are Classic Kei (27 Nov) and Flash Kei (1 January). The Yuris are 3 and 15 March. The Classic duo hail from AD2140 in the 22nd Century an are both 19 albeit Kei is four months older than Yuri. The Flash team are from AD 2250 in the 23rd Century but they are a mere 17 years old, however, Kei is two months older than her partner. Sound a trifle young eh? Well they both graduted from the Academy when they were 14 ya know!) That's the same Academy that Kei is running in Angel Wings. Oh hai the ships- the
'Lovely Angels 1, 2 and 3' are sister ships and the vessels are identical (well almost anyway) to each other. Red, white and aoishi (blue) they were painted with that ancient Terran NFL football team's colours- the New England Patriots who were in SuperBowl CCXXXVII or CCXXXVIII against the Philly Eagles! Massive they be with a grand total of fourteen decks- nine surface level decks and five subsurface level ones! Each one can carry well over 200 souls which comes in handy when- hey! read the Xmas ff and the AW one too if you wanna know more! If you like Scrooge/Xmas Carol pastiches read Xmas with the DP (Ch 15 to 35 I think) and you will read about the weirdest version of O'Scrooge, McMarley, Cratchit, Tiny Tim and the rest you've ever heard of! With the exception of 'Scrooged' starring Bill Murray and Bobcat Goldthwaite I believe I have the only Scrooge who fired on Marley's spectre as well as all three Spirits of Kurusumasu! And ya won't believe the business of O'Scrooge & McMarley- I really think this one is a first and only folks! Anyway here's the ship well the best pix version I could fin anyhow so enjoy it and as I always close out my blogs on my oth sites:-

SFN/SYS/JM/KBYA/KYSOTI/Toodles-K&K(Keiman of Anime)

SFN_Sayonara for now
SYS-See ya soon!
JM-Ja Mata (later!)
KBYA-Kami God bless you all
KYSOTI-Keep your stick on the ice (I also love History Channel's own Ice Road Truckers and have added them to my Angel Wings ff too)
Toodles-The farewell word used by Lupin III- grandson of the famed French art thief Arsene Lupin who was ably portrayed onscreen in the 30's by John Barrymore. His archnemesis the Surete police inspector who could never seem to nab his man was John's dad Lionel. Our guy Lupin III looks and sounds like that superb comedian Jerry Lewis. His seiyuu (voiceactor) is Rafael Antonio (Tony) Oliver and he's just great! Meet the 'Lovely Angel 2' (Kei's ship. Yuri's is the 'LA1' while the 'LA3' is earmarked for-- read AW to find out eh!)
