eep!

Here's a few more from that webboard I mentioned earlier.  Anime first,
then one non-anime example...

     GrimGrimoire: "A young girl goes to a school for magicians, where
she attacks teachers, steals rare magical items, and practices deception
on friend and foe alike."  [Morganni]

     Ka****ma****: "An unexpected kiss changes the life of a quiet boy
forever."  [Morganni]

     Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: "A young girl's wisdom helps her make
friends while trying to find valuable antiques."  [gamlain]

     Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's: "Four friends work together to
complete an unfinished book for a girl they like."  [Morganni]

     Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers: "Now a teacher, Nanoha tries
to juggle work, a child and her relation****p, while helping troubled
students in a new city plagued by gangs."  [gamlain]


     Doctor Who: "Young women are lured into small shack by strange man,
not seen again for years (if ever)."  [ECSNorway]
