IMO, it's not stealing as much as a karmic tie. A while back Gryphon mentioned that Amelia Wil Tesla Sailoon (however you want to spell her last name) may be worked into the story at a later date. (Amelia's from the anime series The Slayers.) I was wondering if Lina Inverse would arrive as well. Well, Aya seems to be UF's version of Lina, altered to fit a "space opera" setting.

When I read this descrioption, I had a HUGE grin, as The Slayers is one of my favorite anime series.
