Here’s another request generously fulfilled by Maison.

Someone asked for a non-WMV version, so here it is. Ripped from DVD in x264/mkv with AC3 audio. Took me 18 hours per episode and had to re-encode twice, so bitching is not allowed. Many thanks to robin for the scripts and help.

I’m surprised no one actually requested this one. Perhaps people just don’t like Mahou Shoujo… oh well, here’s Pastel Yumi, the 4th in the series of Mahou Shoujo anime by Studio Pierot.

Yumi Hanazono loves flowers. She does not perform well in school, but loves to draw, and wants to be a mangaka. Her family runs a flower shop so she has grown up with a floral appreciation. Yumi is a very good artist, but does not always use the best judgement when she chooses her subjects. On the day of the Flower Festival, she entertains the other children by drawing portraits of the Lady Fukurokouji on the walls of her mansion. An angry Fukurokouji makes her clean the entire wall, but as she is doing so, she sees Fukurokouji about to destroy a dandelion. After saving it, she replants it in a poppy field. To her surprise, it starts speaking to her. The voices belong to Kakimaru and Keshimaru, two flower elves who have come to the Human World to grant Yumi special powers as a reward for her kindness.

The two elves give Yumi a magical wand and locket made from poppy blossoms. If Yumi draws something in mid-air with her wand, and recites the phrase, “Pastel Poppuru Poppin-pa!”, whatever she drew will become real. The magic will only last for a short time, however.

Yumi uses her new powers to get to the Flower Festival celebrations by drawing a horse (which the elves turn into a pegasus). She uses them again when she accidentally ruins her father’s contest entry, a life-size doll. She creates a duplicate dress and models it herself.

Yumi’s new power does have problems, though. She must be very inventive when solving problems, and whatever solution she thinks of must work within a time limit. Also, unlike other magical girls, she does not have the best family life. Her mother is an alcoholic, and her parents are always fighting, even separating at one point. - Wikipedia

Here is another requested series. Thanks to japandreamer from our IRC channel again for this.

Another one to cross off the request list. I had this sitting for a while, was waiting for a good time to release. No time like the present.

The year is 1532. Esteban, a young boy, is told that he was saved by Mendoza, a navigator on a Spanish ship from a ship wreck in a storm at sea. The only clue to his identity is a medal that Esteban wears about his neck. Esteban joins Mendoza on a trip from Spain to the new world – the Americas – where on route he meets two other children – Zia – an Inca girl and Tao, the last member of a highly advanced race. All three are looking for different things – Esteban to find his father and his identity, Zia for her father and Tao for remains of his race. The clues for all three quests however all point to the seven Cities of Gold and so the children, Mendoza, Sancho and Pedro – two other sailors and friends of Mendoza start searching in a massive treasure hunt for the Cities Of Gold… -AniDB
