@Jenn-chan: Awww, I guess u just gotta rent the DVD’s or something! I guess I’m lucky I don’t know what “perfect pinyin” should be, lol. But yeah, actually, I’ve heard of “Equilibrium” for years. But never got around to watching it yet. I guess I’ll get the “Prozium” reference once I see it, lol… Ah, “sneaking on at work”, haha! Sounds pretty risky! Are u sure I’m worth it with such improper pinyin? ^_~

@Jay-san: I've heard about that, yes, but I still don't get it! The whole idea itself is bizarre. ._. Not to mention my brain instinctively goes, 'WRONG!' at anything that's not perfect pinyin. XD XD Haha, yeah, tried, but apparently not good enough...I guess it's a bit intimidating to write a ten-page long app/character description, as well. ._. Though more likely it was a niche market of an idea and people were too lazy to go into it. ._." Speaking of RP, if you've heard of/watched the movie Equilibrium, I think a fan-driven RP character that tickled me was someone doing John Preston...Prozium, prozium! Haha! Naaahh. Though I have to admit I only read one page since I was sneaking on at work, it seemed pretty competent...^^ jenn´s last blog post > Kino sale! And Mother’s Day~

@Jenn-chan: Hehe, no worries… Aww, too bad, but at least u tried, right? In my case, I had to push the RP (or RWF) along with the multi-pistoled force of my own creative willpower!…. Ahhh, the fact that u asked this question definitely reveals that u haven’t enjoyed one of the charms of the “Firefly” series. A future where China and USA were once the two major superpowers on earth. Hence, the bilingual beauty of its dialogue! ^_^

P.S. Aww, thanx for reading! As I re-read the first few pages just now, seems like the other writers-characters are somehow too boring, lol. Hehe, I don’t sound too conceited, do I?

Lol, I didn't notice Jayman was Aussie-Asian. ._. Ahh, that reminds me of an RP I had -- but we only had three writers, and the scope (too many characters) was a little too ambitious..-wry- Didn't end up going anywhere, especially after one of the writers dropped out. Sigh. I still can't get used to the random Chinese in your Firefly RP. -wry- Never watched the series, but is it the same case on the show too? jenn´s last blog post > Kino sale! And Mother’s Day~

@A20: Hmm, I suppose it depends on the voice. You’re right, I’ve heard Aya Hirano, not only in “Death Note” and “Lucky Star”, but also “Haruhi”, “Nana” and “Kiddy Grade”. And either I didn’t notice it, or they were pleasant surprises, lol. But now that I’ve finished “Akikan” (maximum 4 of 5 stars for a short season!), I can honestly say that any similarity to Lulu was inconsequential, and Kakeru’s vocal performance was fittingly epic!

@FlyingBlow: Haha, in that case, I think I might agree! Or maybe we just haven’t seen enough of the right “steampunk” girls in goggles and chrome, lol. ^_^

lol, normally I'd be pleasantly surprised to hear a recognizable seiyuu, like Chairman Dullindal from Gundam Seed Destiny (instantly knew him to be Hiko Seijuurou from Ruroken), and Konata speaking out of Amane Misa of Death Note- that one was a shock, but I dealt with it. With Akikan, however, it just hit me from the very beginning, and I immediately thought of him as Lulu. I mean, he sounds exactly the same- he barely made any changes to his voice^^; aprilius20´s last blog post > I turned my head and the ponytail I never knew I had whipped me
