- You right it did. but that was so far early in the process that I wonder if
- it was really applicable. But this is getting off the topic, i.e. Akane.
- I was using B-ko as a side point. A-ko is the anime parody and hence it
- really difficult to tell why they were doing what they were doing..
- But it was alot of fun to watch them ...
