Re: OP song for series 4... Maybe they had an attack of "Nippon Daiichi", and decided they just HAD to have a Japanese idol singer, whether or not she could carry a tune? :(... Yes, the BG animation was VERY nice, no objections tehre. The ending animation was very nice as well, but it seemed they were just trying to fit too many words into that song! Rushed, etc. I'm glad they kept the old singer for the ending, though; provides SOME continuity. :) I'm pleased with the LD jacket covers, too; they kept up the quality there. - Sue
