Decided I wanted to last minute some of my favorite 80s manga/anime as really aggressive stickers. They all happened to end up being Masamune Shirow, whoops. I have very specific memories of renting all these on VHS from a video store if that dates me at all.

I fixed my image of the Leo Triplet. No longer monochrome and no more screen-door effect.

It is the largest galaxy in a group called the Leo Triplet. -TEL http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap100413.html Image credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble Heritage, S. Van Dyk (JPL/IPAC), R. Chandar (U. Toledo), D.
