An Almighty Anime Mailbag
Koneko-kitsune –
Hey guys & ladies, love the show. The other week you spoke about familiars
and I have 2 questions.
1) In the anime The 12 Kingdoms, Keiki has those 2 fierce wolf-like
youma and Taiki has that super shapeless shadow youma. Would they
count as familiars to the Kirin?
2) I’m not sure who, but someone mentioned human familiars. In Sakura
Card Captors, would Yue- that smexy he/she moon guy- count as a
familiar to Sakura?
Yotaru Vegeta –
If Mitsugi only had enough time to kick one entire cast into a pit
leading straight to firey hell, would he pick Hetalia or Twilight?
Aeru –
Ciao, I’m Aeru.
I don’t know if this was a previous topic, I have not gotten through
all your episodes yet(shame on me.)
but what is your take on anime(or video games),being turned into live
action movies?
For instance, the rumored live action Cowboy Bebop
