Syan, you made my day!

Yes, Bake Neko (translated as Goblin Cat) is available here in the states, as are all the parts of Ayakashi - Samurai Horror Tales

But….

Not only is Mononoke NOT available here, but I read an interview with a Toei executive where he was discussing the importance of anime as an export, but also how the studio liked to make works solely for the domestic (Japanese) audience. Then he cited...

Mononoke!

I hope they reconsider, so I don’t have to feel like a heel when I pull out my Sh*ns*n-subs….

Anywho…

Here is yet another video, with a more elegiac feel than the previous one. Both are true to the pacing of the work, in which each separate story builds to a harrowing climax, and then concludes with a thoughtful dénouement. Set to the haunting “Haru no Katami”, the ending theme for Bake Neko (Ayakashi)…

You can really see in several of these excerpts how the images were digitally textured to give the work the appearance of having been painted on hand-made Xuan paper…

VOTING:

*Click links for video clips.

6. “Medicine Seller” from Mononoke / Ayakashi: Bake Neko
The deadpan demon hunter.
Who stays calm, while those around him fear for their lives; and frees the peace-less souls of the dead,
while sometimes sacrificing the guilty lives of the living.

http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c95/G ... 2Movie.flv

7. Shirotsugh from Wings of Honneamise
The embodiment of mankind.
Who, despite his flaws, inadequacies, and tendency to fail, can achieve greatness.

http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c95/G ... 2Movie.flv

8. Birdy from Birdy the Mighty
The spunky, monster fighting, intergalactic police-woman.
Who’s unintentionally pared with average teenager Tsutomu.

http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c95/G ... Movie2.flv

9. Gil-burg from Dangaioh
The self-mutilating, sadistic badass.
Who just can’t take rejection.

http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c95/G ... lMovie.flv

10. Nodame from Nodame Cantabile
The slightly eccentric music student.
Who can drive her “senpai” and boyfriend crazy with her odd habits.

And don’t forget those characters from my first five votes,

Just popping by to remind everyone that there's only one day left to vote. Maybe it's just me but it doesn't seem like everyone who was in the last thread has made it to this one yet. Oh well! There'll be plenty more rounds.

Have fun voting!

<--gestures to username

Don't forget to vote for a killer Gundam pilot! Vote for Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing!

2.Khyron from Robotech(Kamujin for Macross purists

)

It's pure pleasure to watch his over-the-top eeeeeeevil!

and 3.Griffith from Berserk

Ambition is his middle name...
But is he master of his own fate, or just a tool in a larger plan!!!!!

and a whole set of unforeseen, accompanying problems

4. Lelouch Lamperouge - Code Geass

5. Sho Fukamachi - Guyver

Well, of course I'll vote for

6. Birdy from Birdy the Mighty (original)
Not that she's not the same character in the newer TV series, but her personality is just so much brighter in the old OVA.

7. Hiei - Yuu Yuu Hakusho

8. Himura Kenshin - Rurouni Kenshin

and that other pillar of my cel collection

9. Inuyasha from Inuyasha
Beloved in no small part thanks to the stunning skill and versatility of his Voice Actor, Kappei Yamaguchi

!

oh and

10. Ryuuga Rai from Galaxy Warrior Rai
He's just so gung ho and unapologetic about his goal of conquering the Galaxy!

(and it doesn't hurt that his Voice Actor is the same as Hiei's

)
