Dear Nisrd:

So sorry to have not written sooner. Mid-term grades and projects took me off line for a long while.

I also had a hard time getting my browser to load the editing elements allowing me to post a responce to you.

Your point, meanwhile, that Anime is almost typlified by romantic relationships with one of the individual having super-powered is very interesting. Looking at the vast amount of material out there, I am profoundly aware that I am just a newbie, so I do not know what is general or not.

I just finished the old anime "Irresponsible Captain Taylor" which seems to be an exception to your claim and note that there is no supernatural female or male in that (unless Capt. Taylor's insane luck counts)

It is true that the one woman who finds him adorable, Azalyn, is an Empress of Holy Raalgon Empire (think of a more innocent version of the Martian Empress from Duck Dodgers :) ) And another Nurse  Harumi  is actually an android but neither uses their unique qualities and in fact the audience can easily forget that But the women and men are only special because they are space warriors.  I am going to think about this more.  I just finished Deadman Wonderland which supports your idea and I now watching Soul Eater but in that everyone has extrodinary powers--except various victims.

About the forums, it is possible that I placed them in the wrong place or misunderstood how forums work. You can find my two posts under the "Questions and Answers board." Under there I have noted the following:

1. Is the Marriage of Mark and Adele Cole a happy one?  and

2. Literary Echoes? 

Thanks again.

Yours ProfGandalf
