I watched the first disc of Galaxy Angel A. Fun stuff, I think I like it better than the original Galaxy Angel. Finished up Scrapped Princess. The ending was interesting but not what I had hoped for. Oh well, few anime deliver...

Stacey: Congrats on the baby. Her B-Day is close to my daughter's (Jan 3rd, 2005) Right now is the best time to get anime watching in. After I had my daughter I was going through series like crazy...it was great cos you can spend...
