I'm fast running up on 1K posts on this identity, which wasn't originally mine anyway; so I'm thinking about getting a new one.

Opinions?

You've already used Penelope Pittstop (#1) in one of your signatures.

I think #3 is the coolest (although I have no idea what she's from).

Powerpuff girls are a little too kindergartenish IMHO, and I have no idea what #2 is from since I don't follow anime.

How about Ran from Urusei Yatsura?

Pretends to be a ditzy girl but is really an evil bitch who will suck the life out of you (literally) if you get on her bad side.

Unless you went to college in another galaxy, no, you didn't date her.

But there do seem to be an awful lot of women on Earth with the same personality traits.

So if "she" gets turned on, "she" becomes male? How does "she" ever stay female??

Please. Ranma 1/2 was perverted, but it wasn't that perverted. Besides, it was aimed at young girls.

Just because it's too perverted for American television doesn't mean it couldn't be shown on Saturday mornings in Japan.

Ranma 1/2 is too perverted for much of Europe too. It couldn't be shown on television there either, let alone aimed at little girls and shown on Saturday mornings.

Ranma 1/2 is too violent for children's television in America as well.

Wow, I've never had to re-hijack a thread before.

Okay, going with the suggestion from L'ignorante, Speckledstone, and Denim:



Yes, that's Lola Bunny from Space Jam. Problem is, she's monochromatic. I guess I'll get some colored pencils work on it sometime next week.

My Mac.com email address dies in about 2 hours. I'm almost to 1K posts. I'm now a mother. It's just time for a change. Besides, it's not as though I'm pretending to be a new person. I just want something that more closely resembles me.

I can't answer about Ranma's target audience in Japan, but from what I've noticed here (central Oklahoma) it seems to be girls from 14 to 25 and usually the ones labelled "geeky".
