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..."

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)
