I do remember that clearly from the anime and it had always been red. In fact, her mother wanted her to dye black because she stood out too much because of it and it made her seem like a rebelious girl. It does become brighter when she regains her true form. It is interesting the subtext of the hair ...

*dances*
Yes! Just what the fandom needs! I'm really grateful for the dedication and hard work of the online translators but having the novels in your hands and the ability to take them with you everywhere is just amazing. I can't wait for 2007 to arrive.

Letting NHK about the interest the fans have for this series is good but what I would really prefer for the moment is to have a publisher like Del Rey to pick the novels for translation and distribution. Another good albeit far more difficult would be to have the series broadcasted on TV. That would ...

JK magazine article scans

Found this while surfing on the web for new JK illustrations. The art featured on the third article (left to right) is just gorgeous! That has to be one of the best depictions of Yoko in regal clothes.

I wish I could read Nihon-go!

Since the last time I posted, I've watched some new stuff and I've enjoyed most of it. Sol Bianca had gorgeous animation and it is a pity it is too damn short to really get inside the character's heads and motivations. Still, when the Bianca uses it's super attack, wow! It is a beautiful sight to ...

True. I'm constantly watching anime, but Junni Kokki still remains solid in my top three list. I'm yet to see another story so compelling and absorbing as this. The only other anime I've watched recently that has managed to absorb me as much is RahXephon, and it is mainly due to a excellent plot and ...

People like reading or writing fanfiction for a helluva lot of reasons. In my particular case, I write when I feel I have an idea that hasn't been adressed in the canon story or that it could be further explored within the canon. I'm partial to canon or Alternate reality fics as oposed to self ...

(preparing credit card) Well, here goes the impulsive purchase of the day. Gotta have one of those shirts!

Too bad the current available merchandise doesn't include figures. I remember seeing somewhere a picture of customized tabletop figures to make a Twelve Kingdoms diorama. I think Youko and ...

At least Banner/Crest of the Stars had several runs at G4/Tech TV's Anime Unleashed block. If only we could get Junni Kokki to be broadcast at any of the channels that have Anime in their lineups. I mean, we had AZN broadcast the Utena movie, Now and then, here and there, Sol Bianca and Yami No ...

Besides the calendars, is there any other collectible merchandise available, like wallscrolls, figures or posters? I would trade my hand (well, not really) for an action figure or a resin model. They would certainly look really good beside my Berserk ones.

Re: another site ...

hi there,
I've got - for the time being - no great idea for fanfiction subjects - but I want to add another proposal: Seems like the fanfictions written about Juuni Kokki land just in fanfiction.net
Honestly said, I don't enjoy fanfiction.net very much - their sites are not very elegant and ...

I got one fic done and I'm working on two more. Won't like them as much as my first one, but eh, folks can't enjoy Psycho!Youko as much as I do.

But anyway... in response to Silvermane; my biggest beef is the shounen/shoujo ai fans. Along with their rabid yaoi/yuri counterparts. I know, they're ...
