PROLOGUE:
Survivor: Anime in the Outback
Introduction: The Players
The Host: Mai Anime (taking a break from her job at Animerica Magazine)
The Prize: 1 Million Yen
The Subtitled Tribe:
Name: Kamui
Series: X
Luxury Item: Sword of Kamui
Excerpt from casting interview: I tend to cling to deeply rooted friendships
and it takes me a while to warm up to people. I used to be a very
caring person but since my mother died before my eyes and I was
forced to kill my best friend, I've become a bit callous.
Name: Taichi
Series: Digimon
Luxury Item: deck of cards
Excerpt from casting interview: I have a little sister and my own team of
superheroes so I guess you could say I have leadership qualities. I
like to have fun but when its time for business, I can buckle down and
work, too.
Name: San
Series: Princess Mononoke
Luxury Item: knife
Excerpt from casting interview: I'm a quiet person. I've never had a family.
I was raised by wolves in the forest. Thanks to Marow, my mother, I
can live off the land and would be an asset to either tribe.
Name: Goku Son
Series: Dragon Ball
Luxury Item: mini-vacuum cleaner
Excerpt from casting interview: I'm strong. Yep, I'm very strong.
Someone said I was "the strongest under the heavens' once. I'm
strong, but I have a bit of a clean streak. I mean I'm a neat freak. I
mean I like things to be tidy. I could definitely be the ultimate
survivor…because I'm strong.
Name: Lina Inverse
Series: The Slayers
Luxury Item: cape of concealment
Excerpt from casting interview: I may look like a little kid but I'm really a
sorceress. I have many skills in the field of magic. Stealing from
bandits has gotten kind of dry lately. I hope to win the 1,000,000 yen…come to think of it that's not very much is it… so I can take a nice long vacation from roaming through the country side.
Name: Usagi Tsukino
Series: Sailor Moon
Luxury Item: silver crystal
Excerpt from casting interview: As the super-heroine Sailor Moon, I fight
for love and justice without braking a nail. At times I'm a ditz, but I
could offer a chance for quality programming through the romantic
hijinks that will ensue when I fall in love with every guy on the island
while making an attempt at staying loyal to my true love, Mamo-chan.
Name: Tenchi Masaki
Series: Tenchi Muyo!
Luxury Item: Light Hawk sword
Excerpt from casting interview: I like to have a little time everyday just to be
alone. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen much because my house is
home to six alien women most of which are madly in love with me. Everywhere I go girls swoon over me. I don't know what it is. Other than that I'm basically a normal guy…except for the whole secret prince of a powerful alien nation thing.
Name: Speed
Series: Speed Racer
Luxury Item: helmet
Excerpt from casting interview: I might be old school compared to the youth
of today, but I want to prove that even old guys can survive when left
to their own devices. I would choose my helmet as my luxury item
because it would remind me of my favorite thing, racing.
Name: Mokona
Series: Rayearth
Luxury Item: "Egg" Shelter
Excerpt from casting interview: Puu Pu Pu Puu-uu. Puuuuuuuu, pu pu pu
pu, puu pu-uuu. Pu pu pu.
Dubbed Tribe:
Name: D
Series: Vampire Hunter D
Luxury Item: sword
Casting Interview Excerpt: I tend to keep to myself. I don't know about the
whole "power politics" aspect of this game, but as for actually
surviving on a deserted island, I will dominate.
Name: Ash
Series: Pokemon
Luxury Item: belt and 6 poke balls
Casting interview Excerpt: People say my best quality is my friendliness. I
can get along with anyone. I am a Pokemon master. Since winning
the Orange Island Pokemon tournament (in a bragging tone), I've
been looking for a new way to channel my creative energies, and I
think this might just be what I need.
Name: Utena Tenjou
Series: Revolutionary Girl Utena
Luxury Item: fencing set
Casting interview excerpt: I'm on summer break from the Ohtori Academy
and I'm looking for a way to relax in a place where there isn't that
many people. I've been involved in a sequence of duels that could lead to the destruction of the world, and I just need to get away from it all for a while.
Name: Duo Maxwell
Series: Gundam Wing
Luxury Item: Deathscythe (his Gundam)
Casting interview excerpt: I will be the ultimate survivor because of my
cunning and heartless manipulation of my piers. Ha, ha! I'm just kidding, but can you tell I'm a people person?
Name: Hikaru Shidou
Series: Rayearth
Luxury Item: magic armor
Casting interview excerpt: I love animals and people of all kinds, so going
to an island where people don't live will be right up my alley. I am always cheerful and my fire magic will doubtless help me and my fellow players.
Name: Tamahome
Series: Fushigi Yuugi: The Mysterious Play
Luxury Item: Yahtzee set
Casting interview excerpt: I signed up for this game for one reason.
MONEY! It's my favorite thing in the who-o-o-ole world…next to
Miaka, I guess.
Name: Sakura
Series: Cardcaptor Sakura
Luxury Item: Clow card set and Baton
Casting interview excerpt: I don't even have to think about what my luxury
item would be. My Clow cards. There is a card for every occasion
and solution to every problem in that set!
Name: Ranma
Series: Ranma 1/2
Luxury Item: plastic banana
Casting interview excerpt: I know it might seem odd but the most useful thing I could bring with me to a deserted island would be a plastic banana. It would take my mind off food and I could focus all my hunger into it. Although, a close second would be red hair dye.
Name: Ryo-Ohki
Series: Tenchi Muyo
Luxury Item: 2 wool blankets
Casting interview excerpt: Meeeeeeeeeeow!
