I really appreciate how OOO also treats desire/greed as not just being an acceptable aspect of human nature, but a necessary one. Yes, you should want things, money and possesions are important for happy living. It's not just "you want something so you're greedy and bad." I think one guy later is, like, addicted to the lottery, and then spends the last of his wife's money on a ticket, only to actually end up winning big, and to no serious detriment like he blows it all in a cliche way or becomes by riches. It's actually quite a mature and interesting situation. But that's also one of the things that kind of what-the-hell's for a second near the end of teh show.

There is nothing wrong with simple but after the borefest that was Kuuga I was gagging for flash and Fourze gives flash in droves. Yeah the pogo stick was an early one and they used it for a great window into Gen as a character, less so as a great weapon...

Yeah, OOO isn't idealist or damning, it has so far found a great middle ground. Which isn't an easy thing given the subject matter.
