I agree that Nabiki would make a great Nanami, but Ifruita as Kasumi?
Shampoo as Miz? I think you've got these two backwards... switch it around
so that Shampoo is Ifruita (their personalities match PERFECTLY, IMHO.)
and Miz is suppose to be older, so Kasumi would be the perfect fit for her
character as well!
Which Ifurita are you talking about? I can see Shampoo as Miz (With the
agressive singleminded pursuit of Fujisawa) a lot better than as Ifurita
(unshakable, always calm, all the shows of affection small and subtle)
I'm talking about the OAV Ifruita (though I suppose TV works too) and
while you are right about those characteristics, you forgot a bunch of
others. Ifruita is also violent, destructive, and always ready for a
fight, while Miz tends to be less violent, only fighting when all other
options have been tried, and even then she holds off to the end (a very
kasumi like trait.) and Ifruita's showing of affection isn't at all small
or subtle, she just doesn't get a chance to show them until the very end.
She does *have* affection until the very end, so she neer gets a chance to
show it... and besides, Kasumi would never work as Ifruita for just that
reason: throughout most of the OAVs, Ifruita is rather cold, and aloft,
totally unlike Kasumi.
