I loved her as Faith in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and in the show Angel. The bad _ _ _ slayer, with a bad past and a uncertain futcher. The Yang to Buffy's Ying. Dark vs. light. Then she enters the show Angel, trying to kill angel and slowly starting on the path of redemshion. She was fun to watch, either butting heads with the cast of Buffy or Angel, or fighting side by side, in the good fight.

And in her staring role as Tru in Tru Calling, a short lived show about a girl who relives the day after being asked for help by the dead. She played a sad girl who had not got over the death of her mother. Of all the roles she's played these are my two favorites.

And I wasn’t that surprised by the very similar anime and storyline but didn’t stop it from being a good anime, with lots of Fantasy, Action, Romance and a slight slash background story for some of the characters.

Now first I’d like to point out that although I enjoyed watching the show I found several of the plot points repetitive and sort of dry.

The story starts out with Yumemiya, Arika (aka the Ant. When someone is trying to piss her off.) as she sets out to find out about he mother with only the knowledge that she was an Otome. And mostly follows her throughout the show. After literally running into Wáng, Nina, she meats her first friend and rival. Together they save the Princess Mashiro’s and beguine’s the story. The first have of the story line begins with a light hatred story line and some cute gags. Then towards the second have of the storyline the plot gets darker and friends become enemies. Al and all I enjoyed the show. But I can’t say I’m sorry to see it end.

Wow all I can say is WOW. I love her music. I mean the way she blends Jap singing and English is ah-some. And it’s so pretty. I can’t wait to see what she comes out with next. Also I like the unique way that her music videos. They have a fun and cute stile to them, that is fun to watch. I can’t even decide what my favorite song is. Although if I had to pick one it would ether be First Love, Passion after the battle (the jap version), or simple and clean, although there are several others to choose from.

A very good show. With cute characters, and an interesting cast of goofy kids. I like the fact that over a long time they very slowly age there characters. With fun plot twist and interesting villains this show can keep you guessing even is it is a little slow and the drag some plots out to long and set stuff up that they won’t use for two or three seasons. And I like the way they do some of the parallels between what could happen if you grow up in different evirments.

But I find the English dubbed episodes not as good as the subtitled Japanese episodes. starfire2_2
