I&#8217;m not sure if I was just imagining it because it was Gainax or what.  But I&#8217;ve never noticed similarity when watching other Gainax anime (ex: Ebichu)<br \/>* As has been noticed elsewhere, the plot was really seriously unevenly paced.  I think this was a problem also with Saint Tail, in that there were quite a lot of episodes that didn&#8217;t seem to have any real direction, yet weren&#8217;t standalone enough to be called filler. <br \/>* Nadia is really annoying.  She<br \/>[Comment: AUGH. I had written a lot after this and then somehow it got highlighted and erased.  I hate this stupid touchpad.]<br \/>&#8230; So &#8230;<br \/>She has a lot of traits which I dislike.  But I also thought it was interesting the way she had opinions that she held very closely, even without having any real evidence or argument to back it up.  Even to the point where she was looking ridiculous to hold them.   I felt a lot of sympathy for Jean and Marie when Nadia was refusing to eat meat on the island, even though they obviously didn&#8217;t have enough vegetables for all of them.   She slowly became more accepting over time, though not unrealistically so.   The plot wasn&#8217;t exactly of the sort that would have caused her to look very hard at all of her opinions and make her change them.<br \/>* Jean is a nice change from beat-everyone-up hero, but otherwise he was kind of a non-entity.  He didn&#8217;t seem to change much at all over the course of the series &#8212; the least out of anyone, except for the supporting characters. <br \/>* I think I&#8217;d said something else, but now I forget what it was.  Overall, I liked the show.  The plot was interesting, if poorly paced, and there was a resolution that actually made sense.   So sue me, I like epilogues and happy endings.<\/p>\n<p>After that, I&#8217;ve started watching Trigun again.  After watching the first two volumes multiple times, I&#8217;m finally further into the series. Far enough for Wolfwood to show up finally.   I&#8217;m glad.  The series didn&#8217;t have enough main characters, and while I like Vash, Milly and Meryl okay, they were starting to wear thin.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has to continue until my Yami no Matsuei box arrives.
