I love it, too! I've only just discovered that she's written a sequel to it -- arrived in the mail a couple of days ago, and I hope to be able to start on it soon. Have you read it?

(Also, every time I see your icon I have this excited moment where I think it's Jean from Spriggan. Even though it isn't, it's still very pretty!)

No, one of my friends read it, though, when it first came out. I'm afraid to read it, because TSML pretty much is my 'SF Romance Pinnacle' novel, and while I love Tanith Lee's works, her recent stuff doesn't compare to her older works, to me.

Oh, the icon is a fanart of Winry Rockbell, from Fullmetal Alchemist. One of my favorite characters ever.

Yeah, I can totally understand that. There's been some sequels where I have felt the same way -- I always ended up checking them out anyway, sometimes to my great regret. Crossing my fingers that it doesn't happen with this one!

As someone who's been into manga/anime for a very long time now, I feel kinda embarassed to admit that I've never given FMA a shot. I know the basic plot, and I've been thoroughly spoiled over time about character deaths and so on -- but still, one of these days I'll get around to reading it!

Yup. A lot of my favorite authors from the 70s-80s are not aging as gracefully as I'd like, if you know what I mean.

I'm an old-time anime fan, too. I wore one of my Gatchaman t-shirts out today, but FMA remains my favorite of all.

Yeeeeah, trust me, I do! One of my all-time authors is still going strong, but her most recent book -- I absolutely hated it. Quite possibly the worst book I've ever, ever read. And I felt so bad about it, because I'm a huge fan and she is 90 years old, come on, I should cut her some slack based on that alone, but... I really just hated it.

Yay, Gatchaman! And hey, there's only 27 volues of FMA. I mean, that's still quite a lot, but I thought there were more (like 50 or so). Anyway, I'll try to finally start reading it -- at least before the end of the year, haha ^_^;

I do understand!

Gatch was what got me into anime in general. I mean, I remember seeing Speed Racer, and Kimba the White Lion, and Gigantor on TV during the 60s, but I didn't like any of it because of the animation style. I thought it improved a lot with Gatchaman...er, Battle of the Planets.

Then the 80s happened, and wheeee, anime mecca! I still have a lot of Dirty Pair and Nausicaa ephemera, as those were my 80s favorites.
