- Hmmm, I think you're a bit mis-informed about one thing: Takahashi-sensei
- did not have a single thing to do with Kimagure Orange Road. (Otherwise,
- we wouldn't have had all that flame war thing some time ago with Panda
- over KOR versus MI...) The credit for creating KOR goes to Izumi
- Matsumoto, who authored the KOR manga.
-
- Akemi Takada, the character designer for the KOR anime series, has done
- some character designs for anime episodes of Urusei Yatsura and Maison
- Ikkoku, both based upon Takahashi-sensei's works. This may be part of
- reason why you're mixing KOR and Takahashi-sensei together.
