I'm still in shock to find the last four episodes of Brother Dear Brother (Oniisama e) up on Animesuki. I had given up all hope of TechnoGirls finishing it or ever finding copies of them online! Thank you Instrumentality and AnimeSuki! This series is a real gem that unfortunately has about zero licensing potential due to its age (aired in 1991).

Its too bad the first 35 episodes aren't up in digital format as well, more people would check this classic out. I'd be happy to supply them because I do have those episodes in realmedia and low-quality .avi format, but they are rips of the TechnoGirls VHS fansubs (back before divx and digisubbing). They're VERY low-quality and require permission from the fansubbers I assume...Maybe someone could host them if we work it out?

The many fans of Maria-sama ga Miteru should really watch Oniisama e (Brother Dear Brother) since Marimite is heavily influenced by Oniisama e (all-girls' school, sorority woes, bullying, complex relationships, yuri). Brother Dear Brother is directed by Osamu Dezaki (Aim for the Ace!) and based on the manga by Ryoko Ikeda (Rose of Versailles).

Also, if any of you have been watching M.O.E.'s Smash Hit!, when the producer starts the episodes saying in voice-over "Dear Brother..." that is a reference to Oniisama e.

Anyone else as elated as I am?

EDIT- Actually it looks like TechnoGirls are not dead and updated just last month that they are working on the last episodes of BDB. Also, they're putting them on DVD (first 2 fansub volumes out) so my copies are probably negligible.
