Okay, so I am bored waiting for the final episode to reach the US.
Found a post with a link to Mayumi actress Ekia (Oda)'s website,
http://translate.google.com/translate?u=ht...n&hl=en&ie=UTF8it lists an "AMERICAN MOVIE" that she is working on, here is a link to the IMDB page, looks like she is the title character!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0859641/Filmed in Japan and the US.... so maybe she didn't come to the US after all...
