Martin: Banner of the Stars will probably be my next DVD purchase. I'm quite interested in reading the novels too. abyssalleviathin: last time I checked it was still unlicensed, but I can’t see why Bandai wouldn’t pick it up eventually.

It doesn't seem to get the widespread attention it deserves though, which is probably surprising for those of us who have seen it through to the end. The relationship between the two leads was a refreshing change for a start: there's no sickly-sweet romance taking over and they're both likable and easy to relate to. The background to their story impressed me as well: the Abh have a political system, distinctive customs and even their own language! Not everyone will notice these details at first glance but the effort that has gone into the writing and characterisation is really quite something. I haven't heard of any UK DVD release for Banner of the Stars though so chances are I'll get impatient and import them. Believe me, once you've seen the first series, you'll want to see the rest!

Ah got it! When I started out trying to draw manga style characters I always made the heads far too big for the bodies as well! :roll: Something looks strangely familiar about those pictures…
