i <3 too many anime gals, and i <3 them all for many different reasons... Osaka (Azumanga Daioh) Nagisa Furukawa & Kotomi Ichinose (Clannad) Konoka Konoe, Haruna Saotome, & Satsuki Yotsuba (Negima) Minahi Tohno (Air) Tina Foster (Ai Yori Aoshi) Haruh...
yeah, Grave of the Fireflies made me cry a lot. Air, Clannad, and Zero no Tsukaima's 2nd season did it too. I cried different tears for Azumanga Daioh.
