Did you know that Seraphine, one of Tina's Earthling reicarnation really existed? Indeed, she was a French painter who was well-known for painting over and over again the same floral motives (actually, she suffered from kind of autism).She was admitted to a psychiatric hospital and past the rest of her days friendless and alone in a sanatorium (

This is pretty fascinating. o.o Thanks for posting! I too am impressed by how Nakamura was able to incorporate this. And now I really want to see that movie. Any chance that it'll be released with English subtitles someday? :(

No prob! It is a pleasure to have shared this trivia with all of you! ^_^ It's not the kind of information that it is easy to discover by yourself.Seraphine is less famous than Van Gogh or Monet! If this movie wasn't made, I guess would never be aware that Seraphine was in fact, a real figure in painting history.That's why Nakamara's genius really amaze me! For me, who French culture is a part of me, I didn't even know about it! How a Japanese could? O_O
What more we could discover in FC now? That Girishia is real? :-/ lol!

I know dubs shouldn't be a make or break point to a series, but I REALLY wish they'd re-cast and hype this show up again. I mean, I don't ever think it'd get the mad popularity other shows from around the same time (Fullmetal Alchemist) got, but still - I think it's the best series no one ever watched.

That is one amazing piece of information. Now I'm wondering whether Christine was based on someone real as well. Thanks for sharing!
