I'm actually more worried by the number of h*ntai (is this a bad word?) titles that are not in the above list - Shinatisou Kari for example ^_^
Actually as someone who used to download everything and am just starting to refine my downloads it is useful to see what others get. I sadly found Mouse kinda funny, but then I was one of those poor unfortunates who grew up on Urotsukidoji, Ninja Scroll and really badly dubbed stuff like Wicked City et. al.
...live action sailor moon isn't as bad as the live-action pRon film for Streetfighter btw.... )))

For the record, 'Mahou tsukai ni taisetsu na koto' was the series that I was thinking of, though I did like abenobashi mahou shotengai too (Its indicative of my naivity that I thought mahou translated into "magical" always instead of "user of magic (mage)") |

by no means am I fluent in japanese, but I think mahou goes for 'magic' and tsukai goes for use/user... thus, mahou tsukai is magic-user/mage

According to Kodansha's Kanji Learner's Dictionary Mahou (or Maho if you prefer), is "Magic, Sorcery, Witchcraft" ("Ma" is from the kanji for "demon". Specifically relating to the powers of the demon in this context). "Hou" kanji used is "Law, rule, act etc.".
Tsukai I'm not sure on, but I think it is the single kanji for tsukai which means "mission, errand; messenger, emissary".
So essentially they are saying an emissary or messenger of magic compared to our term of a user of magic.
I'm still learning mind... |

hey, learning is good... cause that explanation spanked mine :P
I'll have to start considering kanji more with regards to words... since you can pull so much more meaning out of them.. but, considering I know next to 0 kanji.. guess I'll have to learn them first.. heh |

I rather enjoy scifi/mech anime. Probably my favorite genre. I just wish they would stop putting mysticism in them. I mean, if I wanted fantasy I would watch fantasy anime. Geeze!
My step mom became a rather big fan of mech anime. Preferably, Gundam. My little brother too. She's also enjoying a lot of normal anime too. Such as Onegai Teacher/Twins and Hanaukyo Maid Tai. (*hehe*) She love Saber Marionette J. |

My dictionary gives these for tsukai: errand, message, messenger, bearer, use, usage. |

wow interesting way of putting it. |
