Blog entry The mystery of Parasite Dolls

In an effort to test some of the functionality of the site/forum bridge, I have posted this thread. Take a read of it and let me know what you think.

I’ve been working on a special project recently that reminded me of something very interesting that I had forgotten all about…
This is a subject that I’ve wanted to talk about ever since I was running a little site called “The Bubblegum Crisis Center” back in the early 2000s. The mystery involves the last spin-off of Bubblegum Crisis to be released called Parasite Dolls.
It all starts with the existence of an image I saw back in 2001, when I was looking around the Internet, trying to learn as much as I could about an anime I had started watching on TV called Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040.
