(This is Sarah, aka Tetsuro aka Kodai cosplayer from AWA) Haha, you won't believe this, but I was just thinking of posting a little thing about this episode on my LJ. I'm really glad you mentioned this episode, I got a kick out of it. <BR/><BR/>And yes, I think Tochiro was cute as Santa too ^_^! <BR/><BR/>Hope to see you again in the Con circuit!
