*HUGS TIGHT*

They can hit Hell Kaiser Ryou over the head and take him with them! And Misawa, though he won't need to be subdued. Is that... *checks* Yes, those are all the characters who deserve to escape this series.

Asuka definitely deserves a harem. Or just a crowd of screaming fangirls ;P "Asuka-sama!"

I think there should be scans up on AnimeA or someplace similar still, but if you can't find any, I'd be happy to send you the files! I really wasn't able to get into the anime, but I've enjoyed reading the manga quite a bit. Plus, Takeuchi-sensei is a very good artist! You'll want to check out the scanned artbooks, too. Also, there's yuri! ;P

*hugs Fubuki again!*

And with that idiotic idol they've got, Shou and Kenzan have even LESS right to be calling Fubuki embarrassing. There was that episode where Shou was upset over Fubuki being equated to Kaiser Ryou...damn it, I hated that moment. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, TEHRE'S A REASON YOUR OLDER BROTHER IS FRIENDS WITH HIM AND COUNTS HIM AS AN EQUAL, SHOU. DID YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT? Be polite to your older brother's friends! *coughfosterfamilycough*

Really, I just... I'm still amazed that a series with a cast of such rude 'heroes' was ever made in Japan. Then again, even the Sailor Moon anime back in the 90s thought it was just fine for Mamoru and Chibiusa to be dismissive of Usagi (I'm very annoyed about that- both on principle, and because it's so different to the actually caring relationship they had in the manga. It's why I gave up on the anime version so quickly).

I think GX does have a mood: tasteless and bad. Damn it, this is defnitely one of those times when I wish that the manga had come first, and the anime had been adapted from it.

I'll look forward to it, then! That's definitely an essay I'd like to read!

Hermaphrodite...I'm going to guess that they bungle it horribly?

Yes, it indicated that they're both potentially useful and a notable threat if they remain free! This is one of those cases where it's very notable that the author has said so little about it, from what I know, at least. I can't imagine that Takahashi-sensei is happy with the GX anime. At all.

Ooh, link me if you do it? I'd suggest pointing out the whole 'only two female characters are prominent in this series' fiasco, too. When you look at it that way, it really highlights the sexism. There's just no excuse for such slanted casting. I know that one might not necessarily be using a checklist when developing the cast, but this goes far beyond that into intentionally using as few female characters as possible.

I just don't understand how people can somehow turn off their brains enough to ENJOY this.
