Those Adorable Aliens

Yes, it's been a while since my last update, but I'm back and with quite a hefty load.
First, there's an addition to the Tales of Symphonia entry with Presea, who appears in the Tethe'alla episodes.
Second, there's the pair of OAVs Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou: Quiet Country Cafe. Both are two episode OAVs based off of the critically acclaimed manga series of the same name. Going into it completely blind, I found both OAVs to be incredibly pleasant and enjoyable to watch even though the mild and light plots (not a bad thing whatsoever) are taken from the expansive manga. The character designs are distinctive and the scenery is gorgeous.
Third, we have Occult Academy, a highly enjoyable supernatural action/comedy. The animation is top-notch, the characters are entertaining, well developed, and engaging, and the plot is smart and funny.
And lastly, a personal favorite of both Panadero's and mine: the landmark Rumiko Takahashi series Urusei Yatsura. I will possibly post a reflection on the series some time in the future, but suffice to say that the series deserves every single one of its accolades and has earned its spot among the best series ever created. It took Panadero and I around 15 months to finish all 196 episodes, 6 movies, and 7 OAVs and when we were done we still wanted more. We both suffered from UY withdrawal. I will never tire of Urusei Yatsura or of the adorable, lovable Lum <3
There's a grand total of 30 more characters for your voting pleasure, bringing the site total tantalizingly close to 1500. Go forth and enjoy!
