Anime Trivia [Please read 1st post before posting questions]

Okay, it's not twenty-four hours yet, but I prefer early than late, so here comes a second question. An answer to either one will do.

Q1:

Okay, this one is from Shoujo Kakumei Utena. In fact, it's from REALLY EARLY in the series (just started watching this again).

The day following the "love letter" incident (and AFTER Utena gets "engaged" to Anthy -- YOU know how!), Utena goes to class to see how Wakaba's doing. She sees Wakaba with her nose in a book.

The question: What is the title of the book?

Q2:
This question comes from the original animation music video for Chage and Aska's song On Your Mark. That's right, the music video done by Miyazaki Hayao.

In an opening scene, you see a group of police assault vehicles flying (yes, FLYING) through a tunnel. As they emerge from the tunnel, you see their main target: a skyscraper housing what is apparently a religious cult. There is a HUGE message, in the form of a neon sign, wrapped around the building, that can be read as the police are approaching.

The question: What is the message?

Third question coming up!

Q3:
This question doesn't come from any specific anime (well, actually it DOES, just indirectly); rather, it's a seiyuu question.

Voice performers in Japan are hired for MORE than just anime. Some have singing careers, some can be found dubbing voices for import TV programs. Some can EVEN be found doing voices for . . . video games.

Question: Name the three women who provide the voices for the following characters from these fighting games:

I-No, from Guilty Gear XX (aka Guilty Gear X2)
Lei-Fang, from the Dead or Alive series
Xianghua, from the Soul Calibur series

HINT: Each person is an accomplished seiyuu in their own right; however, this PARTICULAR trio is famous for ONE anime title (SEE? It DOES indirectly involve anime!).

the message: "GOD IS WATCHING YOU".

Someone FINALLY answered!

[CliffD]

the message: "GOD IS WATCHING YOU".

YES!! That's the answer to the On Your Mark Question!!

As for the other two:

Utena: The book that Wakaba is reading is titled "Magnolia Waltz."

Seiyuu: The voices are: Kikuko Inoue (I-No), Touma Yumi (Lei-Fang), and Hisakawa Aya (Xianghua).
All three seiyuu have been highly successful by themselves; they have also worked with each other on a number of occasions. The combination of all three is arguably most famous as the voices of Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld in Oh My Goddess!

Your move, Kai!!

A question regarding the recent Patlabor movie, WXIII:

This film, despite its title, does not center around the usual Patlabor cast. Instead, two detectives are the main characters. What are the names of these two men? (last names only will be ok).

This is a deliberately easy question, designed to increase thread participation, so feel free to barge on ahead and post something new if you know you're right; I most likely won't be online again till ~12:00 server time 1/13.

Are the names Takeshi Kusumi and Shinichiro Hata?
