AUTHOR's NOTES:
I was browsing through my friend's computer files for music when I noticed he had an MP3 version of "We Didn't Start the Fire." I got the idea for this song while listening to it. It's a huge honkin' list of anime titles using Billy Joel's original theme; sing along if you know the tune!
Oh yeah, and I pronounce "Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne" as in "Jean Claude Van Damme"-- I don't know French, so don't yell at me, but it's the only way I could make it rhyme! Not only that, the title character is supposedly a Joan of Arc reincarnation, hence my pronounciation.
Apologies to Mr. Billy Joel. Dedicated to Damian Charpentier (who bought me The Anime Encyclopedia for Christmas, without which I doubt I could have finished this) and to my old high school comic book club members who turned me over to the Dark Side in the first place....
