Interesting - anyone have seen the anime encyclopedia? is it any good? I've seen her presenting the Earthsea and Yugo at the Barbican and the level of knowledge impressed me. Although, it was a bit too long for Yugo though...

I've got it, it's quite a good read, though its out of date now obviously :p it also threw into question the date of broadcast of the Tokko anime since i couldn't find that anywhere in the book. :? Still i would recommend it, just make sure that there isn't going to be a revised edition coming out soon
