I was reluctant, at first, to have this kind of theme for an archive page. One detail I pride myself on, is that the Albatross anime archives have NO hentai ! ! ! (NO adult images)
I am not a prude, nor am I religious.

However, I like women.
< < echoing sound of Tim Allen grunts can now be heard in the distance . . . > >

What convinced me to "go forth" with this? It was during a get-together with Ed P. and Ted B. To make an already long explanation shorter, many "Doh's!" were exclaimed by me that night, as I surveyed nearly a dozen books that they brought over.

I struggled to compile images that focus on the beauty of anime women, NOT to expose or exploit them! There is already plenty of that in other archives. Many of the image sources are not from my own library. "Thanks" are given in reference to each series / book, when applicable.

Most importantly, I hope that no one (especially the female fans) takes offense to this page.

COMMENTARY CONTINUED...

               You will not believe, even with the numerous amount of sources I've ran across recently, how nearly IMPOSSIBLE it is to come up with even a couple of pics. that haven't already been plastered all over the web, or are just not "proper" to be on the Albatross Anime Image Archive. Even the "hentai" based art books are considered. There are those rare, tasteful, and even beautiful images, amongst the HORRIFYING sights of females, regardless of age, being chained, roped, and raped, occasionally with 24" male organs somehow managing to embed themselves in an orifice that would make child birth seem as comfortable as passing gas. Sorry... Rightfully tasteless imagery for tasteless images.

               It's this kind of imagery that gives the thoughtful anime fan (like me) a bad name. Most often, we are viewed as "dirty minded," with no respect for women, let alone their bodies. Could explain why there are more guys than ladies at anime conventions. We should edify the respectful anime titles like "Tenchi Muyo," "Macross Plus," "Ah! My Goddess," and "Ranma 1/2." These are the anime epics that bring forth a good story, memborable characters, laughs, as well as tears, action, as well as drama.

               But then there's the glimmer of hope. An incredible image that cries out beauty and, in most cases, innocence. It's a shame, really, that these artists show a grand potential to present visions of females with such harmony and grace, to only have it accompany other pictures that would very well be the foundation of every girl's or women's worse nightmares.
