This series is awesome. .. but I still have to question where you find the jab at aristocracy. .. when I was watching this I thought it had more of a robin-hood feel cross with some philosophical teaching. . .addressing the issue of women. . .for such a sci-fi that uses hi- technology to have manual labor and clothing and stuff kinda got me thinking that the setting was not thoroughly thought out. . .Like how can some guys who are flinged into space die when they were obviously alive yet when the hero/heroine are tied to a rope and flung out into space survive?

But… the Vatican isn’t an aristotic instition. It’s elective. :/ The woman thing sounds more like your usual case of japs not knowing the first bloodly thing about Christianity (not that I hold it against them :D )

And Hellsing… true, they’re a bunch of rabid psychopaths, but for the most part they’re rabidly psychopathic in the defence of the country. Innocents (protestant innocents; from the way ecumencial relationships are portrayed in the seires youd think the thirty years war never ended) are not harmed. The only omnicidal one in the bunch in Alucard.

Samurai Seven I’ll grant you, but Special A? Admittedly they were all rich toffs, but the focus (and the ridiculous setting) was around the tops seven students in the school, making it a meritocracy.

That said, I’m a subject of Her Royal Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, so maybe I’m biased ;)

JK: because in the current vatican, there hardly are any women. At least, if I’m not mistaken about that one. ^^;

“and women have been appointed at high-ranking functions.”

And this is a jab at aristocracy…how?

huh, sounds interesting, as do the other few anime you mentioned.

I might check this out, especially if there’s a decent amount of QUALITY to spot.
