rec me shoujo / watch three vid recs
I'm looking for some shoujo manga and anime that's not nauseatingly twee. Flist? Oh, and I have two video recs, and a short rec for you today.
k-os - 4, 3, 2, 1: for good humored, stop motion popping.
Ladytron - Tomorrow: is all soft focus impressionism, and crazy-flying-jellyfish surrealist fantasy.
Phil and Olly (future shorts) - The Black Hole: "A sleep-deprived office worker accidentally discovers a black hole - and then greed gets the better of him..."

You Higuri: Seimaden (has one male/male relationship in it, but to its defense I needed about 3 volumes to discover that the long haired angelic beauty was a man)
Kaori Yuki: God Child/Count Cain
Missile Happy (forgot author -.-)

What are they about?

OK, now it´s going to get difficult.
I can give you more details if you want, just ask^^
Seimaden is mainly about a prince who was transformed into a demon in order to save his girlfriend who was kidnapped and tortured by a demon lord, but all he could do was to put her to rest and promise her that until her soul would be reborn, he´d wait for her.
Her soul is reborn, but she falls in love with the last member of the demon´s enemies.
The manga (10 volumes) is about the demon prince and his love for the girl, the girl being torn between the two men she loves independently from each other and a lot of side plots (all of more or less romantic/dramatic fashion).
here (http://gallery.digik.net/gallery/216) you can look at the art of You Higuri (one of my favorite mangaka)
God Child/Count Cain is a manga set in the Victorian Age of England. The main character is Count Cain who has an eccentric reputation and a huge collection of poison.
He often encounters crimes and seemingly supernatural occurences he has to solve while his deeds lead him down to a path to discover a dark family secret.
This manga was drawn by Kaori Yuki who also drew Angel Sanctuary, etc.
http://gallery.digik.net/view/1857 is a picture of Cain.
Missile Happy is a romantic comedy. It´s about a girl whose big sister has a "japanese wedding date". In order to ceck out the future fiance the girl goes to his apartment and pretends that due to a scheduling error the apartment was also rented out to her and asks if she could stay for a while.
But guess who falls in love with whom...^^
The manga features side plots with the girl and her friends, the brothers of the fiance and the big sister.
this is a picture of the girl (http://static1.animepaper.net/upload/thumbs/scans/Missile-Happy/%5Bsmall%5D%5BAnimePaper%5Dscans_Missile-Happy_kito(0.71)__THISRES__156662.jpg)
They are all very recommendable.
Seimaden has 10 volumes, Count Cain has 13, Missile Happy has 5 (I think. I bought an anthology which had the story inside, so I´m not sure)

Hiwatari Saki - Please Save My Earth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Please_Save_My_Earth) (also Tower of the Future and Global Garden)
Yazawa Ai - Nana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nana_(manga)) (also Tenshi Nanka ja Nai and Gokinjo Monogatari)
Tamura Yumi - Basara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basara_(manga)) (also 7 Seeds)
The "also" ones are for the most part scanlation only. Though I know Tower of the Future is liscened and at least a couple volumes are out, maybe more.
So many more, too... But I'm dead tired and don't feel like figuring out what is released or getting links to descriptions, etc. Those ones are my top faves for sure, though.
