Anime Odd Thoughts Lot (week of Jan/28/07, attack of the cold weather)

Not much is going on in Iroha (Hijikara the ex-shinsengumi make an appearance tho) I have miss Busourenkin and Major 3rd season for two weeks now... Kinda upset that Mao's fate didn't turn out to be the way I expected in Code Geass... so I'll put the spotlight on two of my current favorites Nodame and Mina:

のだめカンタービレNodame Cantabile Lesson 3:
A truly faithful adaptation from the original manga. The tiny changes only makes the anime series more enjoyable. I have read the manga of Deathnote and now I have almost zero interest in watching the anime series or the live action movies. Since a lot of the interest generated from the sense of suspense in the plot. I'm not watching the anime series to "relive the moment" since I have no emotional attachment to Yagami or L like someone I know(you know you are!). The same can't be said for Nodame though, I can watch it again and again just to hear "Gyapo~~~~"(ぎゃぼぉぉ~, the goofy noise Nodame makes), as much as the classical music. This is a series that you will enjoy even if you have read the manga.

Here's an example of the subtle humor that the manga readers will appreciate (from ep2, changed from the original food stealing scene):

sneaky sneaky...

mission accomplished!

wait, I never discuss anything on episode 3... oh well...

月面兎兵器ミーナ Getsumen Toheiki Mina ep3 やくそくの魔球
(I just don't know how to translate 魔球... think of it as magical balls, really, amazing nuts anyone? lol)
My odd thought is on the secret identity of Ootsuki Mina, a lot of fans suspect that 甲州翠怜(Koushou Suiren), the anchor of "Sports Luna", is Ootsuki Mina(大月ミーナ) because of this (drawing featured in the ending):

I think GUNZO is trying to confuse you innocent viewers. You see, on the left, Ootsuki is Tsukuda/Tsukishiro's senpai. On the right, Suiren is Tsukuda's senpai in Sports Luna!

definition of crossplay: a male dress up as a fictional female character or vice versa.
In this case, I think 羽蝉寛治(Hazemi Kanchi) might be crossplaying Ootsuki Mina, check this out

the last three are the one in question...(left to right, Ootsuki, Kanji, Suiren) just who's Ootsuki Mina? now tell me 寛治(Kanchi) doesn't look like Ootsuki more than 翠怜(Suiren)... Look at the rest of the rabbit force, their hair don't change much after they transform.

I haven't find any evidence to prove or disprove the Suiren theory or my theory so far. Come on, I want to meet other members of the rabbit force!
