I believe that's about 50% of the current crop of Anime playing in this region. Maybe that's why you aren't interested?Snow Drop offers, what? 3 episodes on the legend (if done well), 2 episodes on a young boy lost and freezing to death, and an episode each of sex romp (or almost sex romp) with a final episode of Hero and Ms. Snow Goddess. That gets you ... 10. Need to stretch something out to get 13... Frankly, the legend is more interesting then the actual story.
Still, if that's what you prefer... Good luck! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

I think you are greatly under valuing Snow Drop. Yes you have a few shows on the legend say 2, but then you can have a few shows on them having fun say about 4, I mean they are at a ski resort, so 3 for skiing as you meet a lot of the characters more closely and then 1 for seemingly mandatory hot springs episode, then add at least 1 on the story of the woman that runs the inn, a few flashbacks say 2 episodes, a few on the budding love of the two main characters say 4 for that as both of them are thick-skulled or someone is running interference, and 2 for the ending when they realize their feelings and come together, and you can get about 13 episodes easy for Snow Drop.
Legend of Fairie is almost clichÈ because of the classic nature. Personally a lot of the anime, at least those I am watching, are starting to move more toward the comedy aspect and a little away from the secret organization out to destroy the world and the secret organization out to stop the other secret organization out to destroy the world. Or replace the second secret organization with the group of friends/unlikely allies banding together.
It's like I was saying about RPG's, you can predict going in that the unlikely hero with some friends, one almost always a female childhood friend that uses magic, will fight amongst each other along the way but in the end band together to save the world for another day...or do they as the evil seems to survive allowing for the all important potential sequel.
