I'm sure WD will release it eventually, but as they say, nothing's
like the original. Hopefully I'll be able to grab both.

Heh, I know what you mean. I think of her as comic relief. Iris's
combination and special attacks are silly and funny as heck.
As for fortune-telling properties, I mean does it say anything about
personality? Assuming that a person wasn't deliberately trying to choose
via Protectx8, of course. It's a crazy theory, but fun to speculate on. ^_^

Yeah, ST is kind of a niche within a niche; it doesn't look like it's
one of the more popular animes. I hope ADV will do a good job with it.

Wow, it sounds like it's shaping up well. Is there a way you could get
a picture of it on the Net when it's done? Is she considering wearing it to
a convention? Maybe SegaCon?

Yes, things are starting off slow. There are now five subscribers
including myself. MoonPrince is here...hello, mp? I'll post to
rec.arts.anime.announce later today. D'you think it would be a good idea to
e-mail people who have ST-related web sites?
To new subscribers: please send a message and introduce yourself!
Let's get things rolling.
