OMG! I think the one you selected for this post s supposed to be a character from a game I worked on!

I am suddenly feeling much cooler!

Don't forget about Feisty. A hot chick who likes to drink and take pictures of herself...

Isn't she that mechanic girl from Fullmetal Alchemist?

I approve

Jesus, is that Winry Rockbell from Fullmetal Alchemist? And did I actually just identify that character "out loud"?!

*Goes back into hiding*

lOOKS LIKE THE DUAGHTER OF JOSEPHINE THE PLUMBER

Sarah and CollegePundit: Yeppers.

I am the worst at identifying these people. I've got all the Fullmetal Alchemist DVDs to date, and I still didn't recognize her as Winry until Sarah and CollegPundit picked her out. Must be age, sigh.

The other Winry is much cuter, as is the Naruto-ette. I recognize the FFX character and the obligatory Sailer Moon but I'm drawing a blank on the others. I think three are an FF8 character but I never got around to playing that one. The girl in the cop-esque outfit looks familiar but I can't think of a title. (Tenchi Muyo?) Is the one in the yellow dress perhaps intended to be Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion? If so, was someone following her around with a fan to blow her skirt up?

The cowgirl and the big white dress are blanks to me, so I guess I miss out on full nerd points.

I know Naruto because my neice watches it but she likes Inu Yasha much more. I take credit for that since she wouldn't know it existed otherwise due to its time slot. I plan to get her started on Full Metal Alchemist when it comes around to the beginning again on Adult Swim for the DVR to record.

It's my responsibility as her official corrupting influence.

I was stunned at the number of comely lasses at the last Nan Desu Kan (Denver's annual anime convention); a striking improvement from prior years. The number of costumes went up dramatically as well. Becoming mainstream has its benefits.

The three FF8 girls all are dressed as Rinoa Heartily (sp?), the love interest to Squall in that game.

I think I'm the only person on this planet that didn't entirely hate that game. Although, I definitely identify with that evil bastard Seifer. =D

I liked it. Pretty much devoured the whole series, with the exception of the deservedly-maligned FFX-2.

They do in my experience (a few years out of date now), but as an extreme minority, and they're about as easy to connect with as girls on the beach (i.e. for every 100 guys who say they meet girls that way, 85 are wishful liars, 10 are heavily embellishing and 4 are high on glue).
