Hmm, very interesting, ur comments on Lelouch have also hit me very much. I also admire that guy, as a matter of fact he is undoubtly one of my 3 most favourite characters of all time. His spirit and enthusiasm, and his power r totally awesome and uncomparable. Especially his speech in second episode of second season "O people of Japan! I've returned. Hear me Britannia, all those who have power, heed my words carefully, i'm burdened by sorrow, war and discrimination ... " man, i've literally crammed it. lol.
I might give Gundam Seed a chance since u've mentioned it, and i do like emotionality. But i never enjoyed Monster mainly bcz i hate the fact that almost every or every other character in it is like a torture loving person, and i hate such unrealistic environments.
