Re: NGD Scenes from a Hat "It's none of your damn business how fast I was going!"

Slayers is an example of an almost-all-humans fantasy world. For example, there used to be evles but nobody's seen one in centuries. But there are a few racial templates from that world that I am curiosu to see. note that like everything else in that ultra-powerful series they would be very expensive. Chimera: Although chimeras can be anything, I'm looking for an example of those abailites of Zlegad Greywards that could be desribed as "racial" Zelgadis is a chiera of three diifferent species: human, rock golem, and "brass demon". His skin has the consistency of stone, id hard when struck, and is impervious to nromal weapons such as swords and arrows. Zelgadis once took a cannonball to the head and it only knocked him unconscious. Gold Dragon: A gold dragon is a shapeshifter with two form. The base form is a dragon -- a big, winged lizard that occasionally has a mane of blonde hair. the other form, which they must learn to assume, is human, always blonde and always beautfful or handsome. Gold Dragons are intelligent, magically powerful, and can lvie for thousands of years. Filia ul Copt is a Gold Dragon. Ancient Dragon: Ancient Dragons, like the Gold Dragons, are shapeshifting dragons who can take human form. They were virtually wiped out ina war with the Gold Dragons of the Outer World (fought over a weapon the Anicnets were guarding). the last survivor, Valteria, was killed by the Demon Dragon King Gaav (a Mazoku Lord who later died in a power struggle among the Demon Race) and ressurected as the Mazoku Valgaav. later, after valgaav's death, he was reincarnated in the form of an egg which was fostered by Filia.

Re: And now something silly: Trouble Chocolate Excel Saga is not so much disgusting as incredibly bizarre. The good guys are trying to conquer the world, but they have only two agents -- a frenetic ditz and a princess with a slight death problem. They are opposed by a team of bureaucrats, a pair of androids, and a scientist with an extremely unhealthy interest in little girls. Excel's story intersects frequently with that of Pablo, an immigrant laborer who has attracted the favorable attentions of the Great Will of the Universe (she doesn't help him so much as she continually drags him into the sack). Each episode satriizes a different anime genre. The final episode's target seems to be hentai. And one of the most memeorable characters is Menchi -- a little white dog who has been assigned to Excel as an 'emergency food supply". Puni Puni Poemi is the seuqel, sort of, to Excel Saga. it is an OVA sereis about a little girl who disocvers she has magical powers after a stranger hands her a dead fish. It is frenetic, twisted, perverted and some poeple think it's hilarious. However, it wasn't quite to my taste.

The frist part of this three-epsiode OVA series just arrvied in fansub, and I was wondering how people would soggest gaming it. The central character is a junior high school boy named Souta who, unknown to himslf, has the power of the "key pof the Seal"/ Basically, God had been afraid of man's power so he split the world between a world of magic and a world of science. Souta lives in the 'world of science" (our world). Unfrotunately, a demon pricness from the world of Magic is looking for the key of the Seal and to kill the person who has it. So a "musketeer" named Akazukin and her wofl companion have come to our world to protect him. One of the pronblems with modeling the series is that, after only one epsidoe, it's hard to be sure what the "Ket of the Seal" does. But there are a lot fo inrteresting ideas here, particularly the comcept of a split universe, and I was wondering what people thought of as far as how they would handle it. By the way, if you want to take a look the fansub is available. The Aniemsuki directory has some links to it.
