Note:
I do have character mappings for most of the cast worked out.  But I'd be
very interested to hear any suggestions from anyone about who should play
whom...

Rather than try to reply individually to all the people who've offered
suggestions --

1.  I'm most certainly NOT restricting myself to the series used so far.
    The fact that there's been some duplication already is more or less
    coincidental.

2.  I've set myself a completely arbitrary rule that I won't use more than
    two characters from any series.  This means that Tenchi,  Evengelion
    and El-Hazard are already full up, sorry.

    (Oh, and I _know_ that I've got three from Evangelion.  But Pen-pen
    isn't really a character ... or at least that's my excuse and I'm
    sticking to it.  Anyway, a penguin indtead of a panda was just too
    tempting to resist.)

3.  Some of the choices are pretty obvious, yes?  Nuku-nuku as Shampoo,
    Naga as Kodachi ...  Obvious, but too good to pass up.

4.  My first choice for the Kuno siblings was Jessie and James from Pokemon.
    But I'm not wild about mixing Dub and Original names (and the chances are
    that nobody would recognise them if I used the originals, always assuming
    that I knew their original names to begin with); and also, Kuno and
    Kodachi don't appear together often, and J&J wouldn't work well apart...

5.  The series I currently have plans for are:
    Tenchi
    El-Hazard
    Neon Genesis Evangelion
    Oh My Goddess
    Fushigi Yugi
    Slayers
    Sailor Moon
    Lum
    Nuku Nuku
    You're Under Arrest
    Maison Ikkoku
    Irresponsible Captain Tylor
    Ghost in the Shell
    Escaflowne
    Utena

6.  Next chapter coming up before long, I hope.  Ranma goes to school.
    Tofu.  Kuno.  Maybe Ryoga.  Anything else that seems like a good
    idea at the time. :)

Cheers,
Angus
