And that concludes the list for 2002. I wonder what's for 2003, 2004, and maybe this year...

Points to note:
1. I try to correct the name spellings where I can, but for the others which I have not watched or heard before I have no idea what their exact names are, so please advise!
2. The Surname is usually put in front of the given name for Japanese names, but in here most of them are arranged in name-surname form.
3. The names in bold are those that I know of, AND have seen either on TV, newspapers, the Net, or some research that I may have come across.

EDIT @ 16/5/2005, 2222: Wishlist: SEED DESTINY girls, Evangelion girls, Tsubasa Chronicle, perhaps? And many others. :)
