[FLUFF] Anime Asks For a Bailout . . .

. . . I was wondering what anime characters would represent the
industry if things reached such a point; as much sense as it makes for
them to go before the Diet of Japan, with North America being their
next biggest moneymaker, it would also make sense for them to appear
before Congress, at least as much sense as animated characters
testifying before any legislative body would. Anybody got ideas?
Oh, and if anyone is thinking of *that* scene from Mars Attacks . .
. no, just no. Too much of a cop-out, and too many "capable"
characters . . .

If Nabiki Tendou can't get the money, no one can...
Cap.

My first thought would be to send Miyako (Hidamari Sketch). Pondering it,
I realized sending Suzumiya Haruhi would be the surest way of getting what
you wanted - IF you could engage and maintain her interest in doing so....

Yeah, but I would suggest Ukyou to make the case on behalf of the
working stiffs, and Nabiki can take incriminating photos to
"convince" recitent members of the Diet "come around" ^_^.
I would send Ryouga help 'em out, but he'd just get lost...

Nah, Lina's only got about a 65% success rate at getting and keeping the
treasure.
For an unrealted but obvious reason, I wouldn't send Shutaro Mendou to
ask for money, although I might send someone to ask Shutaro Mendou for
money.
As to who I *would* send, Rikushiro Onigawara (from "Mao-chan") is
pretty good at getting funding from the Diet. Just tell him it's to make
darling grand-daughter look good...

Or just send a picture of them with the caption - "Help us keep these two
gainfully employed."

Presuming we are talking about a serious question here...
Characters from:
Dragonball Z
Naruto
Bleach
and maybe a couple others...
(Since you discussed _characters_, Miyazaki, et. al. are kept off the
discussion.)
