    But it also has very few fans - unlike Gasaraki or EVA, which has some
diehard fans. I don't remember hearing or seeing any BP fan, except you,
maybe ^_^

    But when I watch Turn A (at least in the beginning), Soshie don't
believe like Hime did throughout BP - she sound too much like a whiny kid
sometimes. Of course, I kinda feel sorry for Soshie since she lost the
"hero" to her "sister"...

    That's putting it mildly...

    Can you honestly tell me that other than a few characters, you actually
like or want to know about the rest of the characters?

    I don't mind stories like that, but I just don't think BP does it that
well...
