I suspect Quawoor was just an attempt of the creators to insert an Ifurita [Wanderers Flavor] type character into the Magnificent World storyline.
Lets face it, Japs seem to have a fixation on innocent, cutesly clueless dames.

Personllly, i'd hit on her if i had the chance.

Damn, everything i get's in Japanese!
Perhaps it cause im in asia. AXN once broadcasted their anime (way back 1999, i was still a student then) in english. when 2000 hit, i don't know if the millenium bug got to their heads, they started showing it subtitled! I saw a few eps of Alternative World in english, but i hazily remember how they sounded like.
we have a local tv station that dubs it in filipino, and guess what? IT F*N STINKS! So i am doomed to stick with the subtitled version till i fully learn Jap.

Hey, Jinnai, that's a great idea! Creating your own video format so you wouldn't need to worry about lawsuits about copyright (that's the reason why VDub depends on codecs).

...Cinepak decoding so I can run them off the Saturn disc or something...

Ever heard of VirtualDub? It's freeware that allows you to capture, recompress and edit video files. What makes it the best is that it is opensource. Though i am not that adverse in using C++ (hey, i may be a programmer, but i've been using only COBOL - please dont laugh - for the past 2 years), i am only beginning to understand the "juice" behind video files by reading the source code! Hope it helps.
check it out at www.virtualdub.org.

...Of course, I bought it mostly for the sake of the same English VA of Jinnai...

Wow, guess youre one of the few people who din't buy em cause of the countless number of panty shots. Wait...There's a dubbed version? Anyway, i guess im more comfortable with subtitled versions. Guess it was trauma after seeing Pokemon.

The Back in Love Version Stinks. With justice to the translators, i think they did the best they could, but they couldn't keep the original's "charm". Japanese "charm", that is.

...daisuki yo.... sounds a whole lot better than  ...we're back in love...  

The better translated tracks for me are Chiisa Hanna  (Little Flower) and Illusion (though the english version seems to be by some boy band. *BELCH* though its livable.)

Ey Jinai! Thanks for the greetin in the other thread!  

I think you make the first one I've ever known who actually liked AW over OAV2 (no problem with that, I just find it interesting.)

Hey, count me one of em!
Reasons why i think OAV2 should be seen:
- Mizu and Fujisawa get married.
- Shayla's first kiss.
- The closing theme.
Why i don't watch my copy of OAV2 as much as i watch OAV1:
- The possibility of too many Ifuritas
- The possibility of more guys like Makoto
- Bad costumes!
- VERY Bad Hair day for Mizu!
- and some other reasons explained animetric.com gave this 3.5 out of 5 stars (OAV1 got 5 out of 5, AW 4)

My advice to those who complain:
Should've stuck to seeing ONLY the first OAV if you wanted a satisfaction, no more. The continuations just give too much room for fan interpretation. Too bad, we're all just too curious bout what happens next we ignore what the critics (reviewers) say. :-/

what? no one suggested a Makoto - Fatora Match-up. Alele can have Ura.   Gosh, i feel so cruel today. Too much lemon fic coming my way, i guess.
