I am getting so off topic!

>I suppose he really only need 4 years.  

You must have seen the sketch that Yuu Watase drew of
Chiriko at 16? makes you wish she had gone with that idea
instead!

>The -boshi boys are just a little to clean cut for me

The better to hide the fact that Suboshi is psychotic!
(actually, I believe he isn't! I wish they didn't cut
a lot of the scenes where in the manga he looked like a 
good guy and not crazy yo-yo boy!)

>who amongst us wouldn't kill for a cel
>of nekkid Miaka and Tamahome embracing in the opening 

*waves hand enthusiastically* ME!

But I would kill for a few cels such as when Suboshi kisses
Yui or when he cries, hiding in the tree, after he brought
his brother back to their adopted family. *sniff*
