I just love all the icons. You picked three of my top favorite series. And I've been looking for Juuni Kokki icons everywhere! Plus the OtogiZoushi was just an awesome surprise... anyway, I LOVE All the icons, the styles are great and you used pictures that arent too often used. I stole a whole bunch and will credit if used. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks. They're three of my favorite series, too(actually, if I were forced to choose one absolute favorite, it'd be WR, though the other two would be VERY high up there)

Otogi Zoshi has to be the most underrated anime out there, which is sad, as both arcs are excellent and managed to form a cohesive story even though they're completely different. I think the reason there aren't many is because it's so little known, and so there aren't as many pictures to be found online, and because, frankly, they're HARD! The watercolor style is beautiful, but if you look at it, there are very few lines, which make them hard to work with in icons(which is why most of these are from covers and drawings, as opposed to caps) If you look at the icon of Hikaru reading or Urabe in the hat, you'll notice there aren't lines so much as there are distinct colors that make you THINK there are lines. Urm...not tooting my horn, just saying, maybe some don't have the patience for it, if they've even heard of it?

I think someone else also posted a lot of Juuni Kokuki icons yesterday.

As much as I love Wolf's Rain mine would probably be Twelve Kingdoms. I have to agree with you though Otogizoushi is very underrated. I loved it so much. The animation and art was amazing, and the story itself was so well told and so nicely plotted out, even the twist to change the times... Amazing. I don't know really why it didn't get a bigger following.

I actually have noticed the watercolor style, although I never realized that it would make it hard to work with in icons. In any case I love what you did with them!

And yes, they did, I also stole their TK icons. Like I said, I love that show.

It seems that most of the best(to me) anime barely gets noticed over here, which is sad. It seems that if an anime doesn't feature robots and/or some teenager or another freaking out and randomly going manic, it gets no press(not that I have a problem with those-FMA and Spiral are two of my favorites)
