Forgot to link the the closing song of the last podcast. Gin Neko by Tsukiko Amano. Gomen.
Anyway, I don’t usually read Newtype magazine. It does this mock manga right-to-left page setup, despite being an American magazine. Doing this is not authentic! Right-to-left makes sense with localized manga, doing it with domestic periodical print just makes it annoying and hard to read.
Some friends told me I was in the February 2007 issue. Sure enough on page 94 (which was a pain in the ass to find) was an Anime USA round up and there I am in all my Amy glory. To the left of me is Lycoris as Tails. She is the wonderful craftswoman who made Amy for me. Click for full image

Who knows where I may pop up next!
