Those water lily photos are really lovely!

Thank you!

I guess I should give Toger&Bunny a try, you post about it a lot :)

Lovely pictures of flowers! My favorites are ShowaKinen09 and 10. They are *amazing*, almost like paintings. Love the effect.

Then I have succeeded. :) It's definitely worth a look -- I can't promise anyone will have the same reaction to it, but the characters are compulsive and the fanservice keeps coming. It's just not the kind of thing you associate with fanservice though, because the writers are just that good!

Thanks! Those two were taken at Cosmos Hill. The sight of so many flowers at the same time is pretty impressive, particularly in Tokyo. I just wish I'd taken more landscape-oriented, so they could be a wallpaper too. :)

I'd started to watch Tiger and Bunny and have been enjoying it but then I realised suddenly it was being made by Sunrise and now I feel super cautious about it; they have a history of starting strong and screwing up (as far as I am concerned - the horror that Code Geass and Gundam 00 became, for example). :@

Those are two series I started out with and enjoyed at the time. I suspect that if I had kept up with them, I'd be a fan by now. I do remember thinking when Gundam first came out that I could tell who was going to die because they were a pilot in their twenties...

*thinking* They wouldn't kill off Tiger or Bunny, would they...?

I agree with you on the T&B review. Really, I don't want any of the heroes to die. I also would like to know how anyone can write fan fic for Skyhigh and Rock Bison because those two have YET to have an episode revealing more of their characters. Everyone else has has a nice development episode. They haven't. What gives? I'd like more depth to them besides "Repetitive wind power using King of Heroes who looks like a real life version of Ken doll" and "Hispanic tough guy who dresses like a bull...and fails as much as Kotetsu does." =/

Also your flower pictures are LOVELY.

Actually, I've liked Sky High ever since episode five(?) when he complained how he didn't get to read out any of his lines. He's the number one hero, but surprisingly similar to Kotetsu in private. Assuming I kept the story in the present and didn't mention any backstory, I think I could write a fic for him. That's the thing about the characters in T&B -- they do exactly what they say on the label. Unless that's about to change, of course.

Thanks!

Mmmm then I guess I don't understand how they can pair characters up? I don't know...I don't read fic for this show anyway. XD; But I do enjoy it a lot!

Did my Weiß tourism years ago.^^ Maybe I shoud have marketed the idea...

[genkischuldich]

Well, I'm not sure if there's money in it! Although I have heard of 'anime tours' being organised for more money than each thing would cost individually ("We'll give you a guided tour of Akihabara, then take you to a maid cafe and...")
