WOW. BARE-CHESTED CEL OF TOUGA UP ON YAHOO! JAPAN!
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

I'd so spring for that if it was bare-chested Juri.

Hell, no! I already did my duty by the SKUmmunity.
...Except that if it were Ruka, I'd probably have shelled out already. 
The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

Honestly I'm not one to talk, I paid a lot more for an equally crappy cel of Akio.
Crappier, really, he was fully clothed.

Yeah, the first eight or so episodes didn't flatter him.

No, they didn't. I was kind of embarassed for Touga in those episodes.
And then I realized how dumb that was.

I think what really made me embarrassed for Touga was his comment of: "Yes, baby, you've lit the fire in my heart.' Especially how he says 'baby' in English. It's very cringeworthy.

*Giggles* A kangaroo...
As much as I would like to say that I would want to buy that cell if it had a bare-chested Shiori on it, a cell like that already exists... And I still don't want it.
But I would if it was only 2,000 yen.

All I know is in the first batch I watched, there was one where his shirt comes open for no reason whatsoever and he's talking in that gorgeously smarmy voice that his seiyuu does so well and I think I drooled a bit.

Easily his most out of character line. At least he improved!
Although I think him boxing the kangaroo is awesome.

What's this? There's no awful sex-appeal-crashing Engrish in SKU.
None.
At all.

Doesn't it say that the seller won't ship internationally? That and the fact I wouldn't know how to bid on it... Otherwise, I would. (:

Re: WOW. BARE-CHESTED CEL OF TOUGA UP ON YAHOO! JAPAN!
I recently shelled out for another cell so I can't do this one. I hope a die-hard Touga fan gets it.
I'd be interested to see what cells everyone has. I'll try to scan mine.

Oooh, neat site, but when I saw that "Seller will not ship internationally," yeeeeeeah, it got ugly with me. Very much "Well, at least Akio has some nipples or at the very least call me when you get some Saionji."
Oh, Touga is very, very nice, but Saionji... 
And speaking of those bare chests, what is it, hat opening for the Sega Saturn game, when the characters are singing, and Akio and Touga and Saionji take their turns comig out of that rose-hole and exposing their chests? Those two block/cut Saionji off. 
I swear I'm not a deranged fangirl, but that's all I can think of now, nipples as a man status and out of the two that don't have them in that little segment, Saionji doesn't get to show his chest off.
.... Still a nice cel though.

Oh, that kangaroo thing was so wonderfully WTF.
Did I calculate something wrong or is 2,000 yen really cheap?

I like the line, I just don't know how they ever convinced Touga to say it. It feels so off for him, especially to say to himself.

Dissing Crispin Freeman
The english isnt ALWAYS bad. i LOOOOOVE Crispin Freeman and i think he did a FINE job doing Touga's voice...
However..
I LOVE TAKEHITO KOYASU TOO!!! He sings like an angel!!
And im cursing myself out because i cant find the ending theme to Fushigi Yuugi: Eikoden... Takehito sings it..(A-La Hotohori)
Its such a dreamy song!
