Ah...sou ne. Happens in certain anime series...(though not sure about which one specifically).

You're supposed to destroy the Sith, not join it. - Obi-Wan Kenobi, SW: Ep. III

[Shirotatsu]

...meh...like Bakura and Malik and their other sides?



...well, at least their hair changes make sense...all you have to do is put a bunch of hairgel and you can get everything...and then take the gel out and they're back to normal again...



...while Cynthia has a ton of hair and Grace seems to cut it off, and it comes back when Cynthia returns. ^^;

And like the poet who saw the immaculate snowflake disappear the instant he held it in his hand, I found myself with all my dreams turned to foam at the moment I possessed them.

Well, one of the cool things about anime is the ability to create anything imagineable, so if the creator wants Cynthia and Grace to swap hairstyles that drastically they can do that. I think that I'd have to actually watch the show and see the details of the transformation to determine if it is only spiritual/personality or if it is physical as well.



Hiding a large amount of hair isn't all that difficult to do and Hikaru does it herself by braiding it. There are a few scenes in the MKR anime where Hikaru is shown without her hair braided and she certainly does have a large amount of it. I can try to post a screenshot of Hikaru's hair if anyone wants to see the difference from her usual hairstyle.

...hm, yes that's true...eheh. It would be nice if we could see that actual change, but whether Cynthia or Grace is present is determined by the scene, so unless Grace is pretending to be Cynthia, you know it's her because she's missing a huge amount of hair. But bleh...



...and...sure, if you would, I'd like to see it...

[Shiidou Hikaru]

I looked up the series and the theme seems similar to Negima or Love Hina or Tenchi Muyo, but the Anime News Network rated it "Mature" So hopefully it's not overly fanservicey (if that's actually a word. ^_^;;) or demeaning towards the female characters.

Hikaru-chan's Magic Knight Rayearth Message Board Haruka | Dynasty Kingdom

[Shirotatsu]

It has a bunch of fanservice...



...forget the anime...I think I remember the manga having less...



...either way, there doesn't seem to be any questionable material relating to Cynthia, so...yeah...

Hmm, okies, I'll take a look around for it. I'm not such a prude that I won't watch or read material with fanservice in it, but the story will have to have something worthwhile in it to keep my attention.

...if you want it, you can go to www.muffindomain.com/inde...anime.html



...but the story's just kind of...there...I believe reviews said there's nothing really worthwhile about it...

Erm, well you're gone for a couple of weeks, so you won't read this for a while Shiro-san. I downloaded the first episode of Hanyauko Maid Tai and watched it and well ... to say that it has a lot of fanservice is an understatement. More like outright nudity and although it's not explicitly hentai, a few things are implied to be happening. It's definitely not a show for kids. One of the maid girls French kisses him right at the very beginning, so I kinda know where the rest of the series is going. XD

[Yuki Fukurou]

Hmm...sounds like an interesting series though...(besides the whole "nudity" part). (Heh...sometimes I can't seem to tell certain characters apart, especially when the camera moves at different angles, which can then look like the character's gender has changed). If ya know what I mean.



Anyway...was that in a bittorrent format, Hikaru-san? Where did ya find it?



Just testin' another avatar at the moment. (This one...I'll probably stick with for the remainder of the year).

Erm, I got it from that muffin site that Shiro-san posted up above Yuki-san. I doubt that I'll watch any more of it myself, but good luck, maybe you'll like it. ^_^

Testing...1,2,1,2

[yuzuki chan17]

Hmmm... some of them look like the Morning Musume girls xD;



Maybe I'm just seeing things though ^^;;

[Docs Fox]

lol Good eye Yuzu-chan. That picture came from the 'Morning Musume - Hamilton Island' photobook I found online.

[Yuki Fukurou]

Heh...kinda cute, Docs-san.
