[Asianmedia] "A-un" and series suggstions

[Sean Harper]

Having read the blurbs on the URLs, I am fascinated with most of the series
listed.  I especially like Black Jack 21, having seen the first two episodes;)

I recently came across "Ah-Un" while watching Prince of Tennis (178 episodes;
watch on your own time) and so find myself intrigued by Nio.

For those who have seen or read dotHack, Dennou Coil covers familiar ground
placing emphasis on the reality of the unreal and how it effects the real
world.

Other series I have watched lately include Pumpkin Scissors and Heroic Age. 
Please help the war efforts!


I hope my comments have been insightful.

Sean
