In April, 2002 having fun and learning in the process is a hallmark of TSF teams, especially D'Anime. The stunning graphics, expertly rendered events and the opportunity to learn more about Anime and Japan are anticipated each month. Now see you fair in answering the questions which D'Anime had for their Springtime Trivia contest. The answers are in bold print.
1.With the beginning of spring comes the beginning of concert season. We had a scheduled 'N Sync concert but their manager called us up and told us "Bye, Bye, Bye" as a way of canceling their
show. (Tearin' up our agreement.) We must have spent a little more time on this one and drove ourselves crazy trying to come up with a replacement group. Which of the following would be a perfect
substitute for the pop five...It's Gotta Be:
The Fushigi Yuugi clan
The Weiss Kreuz boys
The Gundam Wing pilots
Team Rocket

task?

April,
2002 arrived, and all of DAnime Isle have been looking forward to playing in the rain all winter! They got out our umbrellas, and raincoats, and rubber boots too, eager to make loud splashes in
the puddles, dance in the rain, and welcome the April showers.
So The Faerie Keeper looked around for the different parts of the storm. There was some falling rain, some lost thunder, a misplaced bolt of lightning, a missing rain cloud, a misguided rainbow, and some wandering fog. We put the storm back together, and were thanked with a little award for our web page!
