[Locke]

I already ate my words by episode 8 what a great episode!

Miu has been kinda...there up until now but the fact that she jumped in the Power Dizer and saved Gen in it increased my respect for her tenfold. Same with Shun, although I don't agree with his reactions, I can perfectly relate to his problems.

In many senses, I think that may be why I still love high school settings so much, I may be an adult but I haven't started a career yet, I don't have kids and I'm not married so I can relate to the lives and problems of characters in high school settings better than I can others.

And yes things like trying to get out of your Dad's shadow and living up to their expectations may feel like a first world problem and something not worth building a character around but to me that character feels more tangible to me then when I'm trying to bond with a character who say...has come back from the war and is dealing with survivors guilt. Sure that makes for a better story but how many of us can really truly understand what they are going through?
