Heheh, oh, I'm *beyond* happy

*g* Figured you would be XD And yeah defintiely not going for Fujiko in CC XD (they made her a blond too >>) I was looking at some... and I'll probably go with a black outfit... that i'll just go dig out somewhere and alter ^^;; <--- wayyyyy too much sewing on other stuff to consider XD

And I'll definitely go check out the sight and stuff (dunno if I'll be able to download... my comp here is a pain and if I do watch some eppys it'll have to be on campus or rented due to laziness connection)

But I'll keep that in mind and look ^_^

But yesh... Lupin *wisenods* Took me long enough XD (To be fair I tried the manga... a little... but the anime really changes everything)

Oh and it was the manga person one >> Not streamline.. . I think 'least to say no mentions of "the wolf" XD

Heh, meant to mention that aspect--Fujiko's hair is always changing, but she's a natural brunette. There was a great line in the Geneon dub from Jigen, talking about Fujiko's alliance to the Lupin gang: "That broad changes teams as much as she changes the color of her hair!" (Don't ask how I remember that ;)
And no worries--the manga is so episodic and slapstick at first, it's tough to get into. I mean, they don't even set up Jigen and Goemon as re-occuring characters for some time. All in all, it's really obvious (and stated by Monkey Punch himself) that early Lupin was really inspired by MAD Magazine, art-wise and gag-wise.
Heh, I own the Manga DVD of Cagliostro, but I haven't listened to the dub--I'll have to give it a try :)
I *do* have a great wallpaper somewhere with all of the Lupin crew on it, and Fujiko in a great costume--I'll see if I can find it on one of my hard drives, and send it your way :)

Ahhh that makes sense XDXD *snickers* And I can see how you could remember that line... seems like quite a memorable line ^^;;

But yeah now that you point it out I can understand the connection... They are similar... and yeah I should know better at this point that one cannot trust a long series until at least five or ten volumes in XD (Conan's real plot and characters didn't really start to have an impact until almost 18 to 26... ^^;;)

And that would be great on the wallpaper ^_^ As soon as I find a moment to stop my cosplay, school, papers, panic moment I'll have something else to catch up with ^^ (still have to get into heroes as soon as I find a box set ^^;;;)
