And if you're taking about Yoko, I can see where you're getting the Not As Awesome As The Boys thing, because she doesn't pilot a Ganmen, but she has a giant freaking rifle that she's the best with and is awesome in other ways!

Yeah, I know, but I'm just so very, very sick of seeing that 'awesome but different' label slapped on the women in manga. Every single anime and manga I've watching is doing that right now, and it's driving me CRAZY!

It's like, 'why can't a girl pilot a gunman? What is the fracking deal here?'

And please either take that One Of Them Does Nothing But Worry That His Not Good Enough comment about Simon, or watch the rest of the show and then decide.

I'll take that one back, but I have to say, I have a super-low tolerance for the worry about being good enough characters. I do remember you mentioning that he gets over it.

And don't worry about jumping in, I know how it is to have those shows/characters that you're very protective of.
