Let's just take three examples shall we:

Utena: All she went through at Ohtori Academy AND she finds herself in
another deimension. Brother, I would have cracked midway through the
Black Rose Saga (The point where the series stopped makeing the
slightest bit of sense to me.)

Noriko: Lets See. A woman with the mind of a thriteen year old girl
suddenly starts having six hundred years of memories and life
experince she never even knew she had (and any who did know thought were
lost forever, the notable exception of Edison Bell.)come back to her over
the course of a few weeks. Much of which were varying levels of hell and, to
top it all off discovering that she was once in love with the man she
considered to be HER FATHER. However, when this all passes she feels perfectly
up to assuming command of one of the most powerful space navies in the galaxy.
(I would at least have her see a shrink every once and a while)

Megazone: Do I really need to explain myself.

Hey, I lost all interest when I first saw the shadow-play, much less any duelling. Symphony is the only way thus far I've found Utena & Co. palatable, although I might have liked it if the series' director hadn't decided that mindfuck = art.

And when you see things every day that look like LSD hallucinations, you're -entitled- to go mad.

I wonder how much of that was, 'I -really- need some distance to sort this out. Like a few dozen parsecs.'

Yes; what makes you think he -hasn't- snapped? };-{D
