However, who is the girl that appears at 43 seconds, it's really bugging me as I feel i should know her. It's been buggin for days, as I'm sure that I know her, but i just can't place her.
Look at the source list. Chances are she's from one of these anime:
* Child's Toy (Kodomo no Omocha / Kodocha)
* Devil Hunter Yohko
* Dominion Tank Police
* Final Fantasy 8 (VIII)
* Lupin III: Die Nostradamus
* Ranma 1/2
* Tenchi Universe (TV)
* Urusei Yatsura
Man i just can't see it, she really looks different.
The girl with the rose? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Sakura. The character is a little off-model, but the animation is typical of the series considering when it was produced.
