A: For just this one page, I'm going to attempt to SOUND sane. And since I've decided to try and update this page by myself, it'll probably be easier to follow without my crazy cohosts around.
So the cast of Nadesico is a funny one, and a strange one. Because the only version of Nadesico that my cohosts own are dubbed, our liking for various characters are influenced by the freakin hilarious dubbing, thanks to ADV. (I swear, they didn't pay me for that compliment, right there, though, if you're out there ADV, i can easily diss you, so pay up....anyway)
There are four main groups of characters. The Big Cheeses, like Akito, The Supporting Cast, like Megumi, The Little League, who are people like Mr. Hori, and The Trio...you should be able to guess who they are.
For now, the page will be pretty simple, mostly text. But eventually, some pictures will get up here (some hopefully drawn by June, or Ni) and maybe some links or graphics. This is going to take me a while, so enjoy the minimal updating!
Ni: *bursts in* *whisper* Shhh.. See the pictures?! Yeah, the SD ones that likely don't give you any idea what the characters actually look like?? I drew 'em, so don't steal 'em, baka~! ^_~;; Also: Some info on this page was fixed thanks to James. Thanks!!
