So the dilemma now is between episodes 4 and 5 of L/R: Licensed by Royalty.  I broke out the DVDs last night and checked.  I'm leaning towards episode 5.

I had another reason to get out the DVDs though.  I decided to start working on my Anime Family Project, and I needed pictures of some people that I absolutely couldn't find on a *booru because a) they weren't female, and b) were in fairly overlooked and underrated shows.

Then I discovered that regardless of the actual aspect ratio of the video on the DVD, Media Player Classic saves DVD screenshots in 720x480.  So I had to resample to correct the aspect ratio in Photoshop (shrink the width to 640 for the 4:3 shows, and shrink the height to 405 for the 16:9 shows, make sure to uncheck "Constrain Proportions" when you do this).

It's actually going fairly well.  I sat there with writer's block with just Yomi in the list trying to write something (anything) about her and then I finally found some words.  Then I had writer's block again until imagination hit and I had most of a family before long.  I still need a character for my mom, but other than that it's complete.

Also I started writing it here and then realized it really should go on Seven Random Characters, so I copypasta'd it over and moved the pictures to the other hidden album on Picasa.  Unless there's something I'm missing, you have to move pictures from one album to another one by one, which is kind of annoying.
