NOTES FOR EPISODE III of TOUCH AND GO: Going in order of what shows up first... - The song that Faris sings is called Cyborg Mermaid, and is from the anime GUNNM (Battle Angel [Alita]). It's one of my personal favorite songs, and is hauntingly beautiful. - Watashi-tachi ni Naritakute is the first ending theme of the fourth season of Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon. It's slow and rather romantic, with a touch of sadness; the season's name is Sailormoon SuperS ("supers", as in more than one senshi is "super"). - The song Starr is singing is lines from the CD-length version of the ED for TaG, "Amour Sonnet". - "I can think of a few exceptions," she replies dryly. Faris is referring to Jessie and James when she says this. - Sohryuu Asuka Langley is from Shinseiki Evangelion. She's the redheaded, bad-tempered, extremely bitchy pilot of Eva Unit 02. - Ohtori Akio is from Shoujo Kakumei Utena. He's the dean of Ohtori Gakuen, the school where all the main characters go, and is the older brother of Himemiya Anthy, one of the two MAIN main characters (the other is Tenjou Utena, for whom the series is named). He's also an exceedingly horny thing-- he'll sleep with anything that moves, with the exception of Kiryuu Nanami. :P - Kunou is Kunou Tatewaki of Ranma 1/2. Kunou's just funny. ^_^ That one segment of him talking pretty much sums up his entire personality. Except for the part that hates Ranma. Oh well. - Kaioh Michiru is Sailorneptune of Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon fame. ^_^ She's an Outer Senshi, and is very beautiful and elegant. - Don't even ask about all those sick jokes. ^_________________^ - Giga Slave, Fireball, and Dil Brand are all spells from the anime series Slayers. Giga Slave is the most powerful attack spell in the entire series; it summons power from the Lord of Nightmares, and if it's cast incorrectly, it can "return the world to a void of nothingness", as Shilfiel put it. Fireball is Lina's favorite spell in the TV series, and Dil Brand is her favorite spell in the OAV series. ^_^ - Luna Inverse, also from Slayers, is Lina Inverse's older sister. Lina is known as the dragon-spooker... Luna's known as the Lina-spooker. That kind of says it all.
