Castle Triton's

2000 Bishonen Harem

*fanfare of trumpets* All right! Welcome, all, to the Second Edition of Castle Triton's Bishonen Harem! I'm your Hostess, Sailor Triton.

And I am your Co-Hostess, Sailor Charon.

And once again, we were the ones responsible for sending out the invitations to this year's spotlights. I'm Sailor Miranda--

--And I'm Sailor Titan. *waves to all* Pleased to meet everyone.

All right! Getting down to business, I'd like to introduce 2000's Mr. January-- Kenshin! Everyone's favorite cold-blooded assassin who eventually relinquishes the life of a hitokiri in favor of becoming a Ruroni.

In case he looks familiar from last year, his TV incarnation was honored last March.

That's right... this is from the OAV. He looks a little bit more... male... don't you think?

And who says all bishies have to look female? *pout*

He's beautiful... and he knows it! Mr. February, 2000, is Hotohori!

Yes, Triton-chan. He's the Emperor of Konan.... that would make him the highest-ranking honoree this year?

Ever, so far, I think...

We had Allen Schezar last year, but he was just a knight... yes, Hotohori-sama definitely outranks him.

Mr. March this year is Saicho! From Flame of Recca fame.

Er... I don't think Flame of Recca is popular enough to allow sub-characters to claim the title of being "famous".

Hmph. You know what I mean.

Anyways, Saicho, of Team Ku, has the extremely kakkoi madogou, the Shiki Gami, which manipulates paper to attack with.

Aiiiii! Papercut! Papercut! I'm almost bleeding!!!

Triton no baka! Don't insult our illustrious guest like that!

Ermmm... moving right along....

Um, yes. Mr. April, 2000, is Arima from Kareshi Kanojo No Jijou.

Um. From where again?

Kareshi Kanojo No Jijou. Kare-Kano. His and Her Circumstances.

Ahhh! I see! Why didn't you say so before?

I did... baka... you're getting us off-track, Triton-chan. Arima is very smart and a model student. He blackmails Miyazawa early on after he discovers she isn't quite as perfect as she seems... but he's a great character.

Perhaps Arima could tutor me...

That might be beyond even his powers....

It's time for a warm round of applause for Mr. May!

We would like to honor Li Xaolan! Ermm... aren't we getting a little on the young side for a harem?

But we honored Kaoru-chan from Flame of Recca last June.

If Kaoru-chan can be honored, so can Xaolan.

Did you ever notice how they sound soooo much alike?

*L* Can you say "Kumai Motoko"?

"Kumai Motoko"... is something supposed to happen?

*massive sigh*

Mr. June this year is everyone's favorite mountain bandit leader-seishi-fangboy from Fushigi Yuugi!

How many seishi fangboys from FY are there who lead mountain bandits?

At least one... Tasuki! Helloooooo, Tasuki-chan!

At least try to appear dignified, Triton-chan!

For July, we have Hanazawa Rui, the violinist from Hana Yori Dango.

The main love interest of Tskushi-chan.

But he just doesn't seem to feel the same way...

But it leaves him available for us, right?

I think he has someone already...*sigh*

Now in August, the spotlight turns upon Yuu, of Marmalade Boy!

I really hate to be the one to point out the obvious, Titan-chan, but that doesn't look like a picture of him.

Well, I figured that there are so many pictures of so many bishies, a nice little diagram (from here) of the MB character interrelations might be more fun.

Well... there's Yuu's name. At least you get to see his name. *sigh*

Meet Mr. September, from Flame of Recca. His name is Raiha!

You know, for having a pretty low bishonen-ratio, FoR seems to be doing pretty well getting spots in this harem.

Ah, yes, but unfortunately, the names are quickly running out. Unless they get a move-on and animate the next arc of the manga before 2002, they won't be getting anymore spots here after next year.

You mean... they already have spaces reserved for 2001's Bishonen Harem?

We can't tell you that...

Well, as long as you don't drag in Mori Kouran....

EEEEEWWWWWW....

October's honoree is from Weiss Kreuz.

Yes, please meet Aya! He's a florist by day, an assassin by night. To pay off his sister's hospital bills.

It's amazing how attached our anime guys are, to their nei-chans.

I think he should throw roses or something, if he's a florist.

Um, wrong show, Triton-chan....

And for Mr. November, 2000, please meet Doumyouji! He's from Hana Yori Dango, and has been childhood friends with Mr. July for how long?

Since childhood?

Ermmm... anyhow, he is rivaling Mr. July for the love of Tskushi-chan! Although Mr. July doesn't seem to return the girl's feelings, and Doumyouji has interesting ways of showing his feelings...

...To say the least.

While he's not always popular, he's still a worthy addition to our harem. Watch HYD and see why!

And to wrap it all up, for December, we would like to honor Tamahome, from Fushigi Yuugi!

Wow, FY is making a really good showing in this Harem.

Probably because you couldn't swing a cat in FY without hitting a bishie guy....

Not that we're complaining!

Oh, no! BTW, did you notice that he sounds an awful lot like Mikagami? And Zelgardis? Can we say, "Midorikiawa Hikaru"?

There you go, getting all cryptic again!

Nevermind... even though he suffers the indignity of getting brainwashed at least once... I guess it's an anime-guy thing... he's still a good character, although he appears money-grubbing and heartless in the beginning.

But don't mess with Miaka, or he'll teach you a thing or two!

Well! That's it for our 2000 Harem!

Come back to visit us next year! Or even better, between now and then, let us know who you think we should accession next.

Twelve spots are open for twelve available guys!

So it's off to the great Anime Closet to do our research!

WHEEEE! Research is so fun!

Too bad you're not this enthused over your classes... then you wouldn't need a tutor.

And there would go one of my lines! Ja ne, minna!
