SI-Wannabe: Aw man!  I screwed up AGAIN!

A-kun: How so?

SI-Wannabe: Well, I wanted to get to the Urusei Yatsura Universe and I wound 
up in Ranma 1/2!

A-kun: [turning to the camera] Has this happened to you?  Tired of 
unreliable self-insertions where you find yourself in a world you don't 
know, with people you've never seen, doing things no one should ever have to 
do?

Skyler:  Darn straight!

  Worried that your next planned SI is going to be to the wrong universe? 

Skyler:  Just wait'll you see the side stories....

  Well, take Anime Express.  We'll get you where you wanna go.  So, no more 
unreliable and dangerous self-insertions.

SI-Wannabe: Thanks to Anime Express, I got to the Urusei Yatsura Universe 
without any hassles.   Now, I'm engaged to Lum, the Lum Storm-Troopers and 
Benten want my head, Mendou wants me to be his idol and Ataru keeps trying 
to beat the crap out of me.  Thanks Anime Express! [smiles showing that he's 
now missing ten teeth.]

Skyler:  On the other hand, Revolutionary Girl Utena does have its charms.

A-kun: So why do it the hard way?  Take Anime Express. [A-kun gets on a 
black train that's EXTREMELY familiar.]

Tetsuo: Move over.

A-kun: Sorry.

Tetsuo: Look, it's Captain Harlock!

        [A-kun looks.]

Darn.
