Got permission from Liao to go ahead and publically respond to this.

And I suppose that if anyone else wants to comment on my C&C, they can go
ahead as well.  I was just unaware that anyone else besides Sommer would
be interested.

Not really ^_^

You have to admit, one of the best ways to win someone over is giving them
'you are the only one I can trust' bit.

My roommate at Case Western is a friend of mine from High School.  Most
people who we met during orientation would tell us how they had heard that
this sort of thing was a bad idea, because the roommates would invariably
hate each other.  I would always reply "Oh, that's okay.  We already hate
each other!"

"You want him to intimidate her?" Iizuka asked. It sounded like a good
plan.

"Actually, could you have him break her arms and legs?"

Heh.

Thanks,

This was a very good characterization scene of Nanami.

hadn't the Dean asked her to participate in it? Of course, Ranma was

good,

but she was better.

If Anji's been expelled, then this is after Ranma beats Nabiki, isn't it?

Yes, but Nabiki feels her loss was just a fluke. She believe's she's
really the better martial artist (although she would admit Ranma is very
tough.)

I suppose that she'll have to hop over some universe where she learns a
chi attack now, and then Ranma will jump to where he learns to make
whirlwinds, etc.

A scowl creased Nabiki's brow. Ranma's opponent was a girl? That wasn't
good. Ranma already had too many other women in his life, and most of

them

were hanging around him far too much already. Akane wasn't much of a
threat, but the new Kuonji girl (who was not really Ranma's fiancee,
Nabiki assured herself) was a growing hindrance.

Er, how?  If you're going by what JK's released, then Nabiki shoudn't

have

even met Ukyou yet.

Went over this with him. This is most likely going to take place after
chapter 11. I believe that places 'Roses and Swords' roughly a week after
the events in chapter 9. So Nabiki has met Ukyou already.

Ah.  Also, this Nabiki jumped into AVST, right?  She ought to be
sympathizing with him...

 Perhaps

she'll be sleeping with P-chan next? ^_^

Better then sleeping with Tarou's cursed form, ne?

"Ranma, stop picking on my T-chan!"

"Hey, he attacked me first!  And why do ya want to sleep with something
that has jellyfish tentacles anyway?"

"MOO!"

Certainly he wasn't like the willful, stubborn mule-head that she had

to

deal with on an almost daily basis.

Been reading Robert Jordan?

Not lately. She's just frustrated that he's not her complacent little
side-kick, like the Ranma from 'A Very Scary Thought' is. There was a
Ranma who knew his place. ^_^

Ah.  I was just surprised, since that's the only place I remember seeing
any girl refer to a male as a 'mule-head'.  Of course, I've heard all
sorts of other words used...

In pursuit of that childhood dream, Utena went on to read every book

she

could get of noble samurai, or foreign lords like the prince she had

first

read about, and endeavored to figure out just how she should act.

Noble samurai?

"Wakaba, I shall date you if you defeat me!"

Hehehehe.

And the thing is, someone would probably try it too.

I suppose that she went through a frog kissing stage as well?

Heh. That's a good one. I might work in a line about that somewhere, if
it's all right with you.

Sure!

"Oh? Let me see." The new girl held out her hand towards the watch.

Miki

handed it to her. She clicked the top of it once, examined it

carefully,

then clicked again. She gave a sigh. "It looks like it's broken to me."

"WHAT?!" Miki snatched the watch out of her hands and began pressing

the

button.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Well, it's like an exetension of his hand. Jurai-Knight made mention of
some Batman villain that was like that.

It's just that every ep with Miki, there's that stopwatch.

BTW:  Does the whole watch thing ever get explained in canon Utena?  The
rental place only has up to tape 3, it seems.

Only seen up to the 4th tape myself.

Ah.

Hey, perhaps the End of the World is the group of deans?  ^_^

Heh.

Or even better...

Shadow A:	Hi ho!

Shadow B:	Today, we're going to...

Coach:		Dean Fuyutsuki!  Dean Fuji!  What are you two doing?

Shadow A:	Er...This isn't Dean Fu...

Coach:		Oh, hey!  Shadow puppetry!  Let me try!  How's this for a
		fish?

Shadow B:	Ano...

Coach:		Why are your voices so funny anyway?  Oh, a helium
		balloon! Let me have that.

Coach(Juri):	How's this sound?


After all, what Utena episode is complete without the annoying
Shadow-play?

-Natsume Ranma Ranma

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
