Well, this is more a general SF lesson, but...

Never attempt to dominate the universe with a starship shaped like a planet.
Saving the universe with one is OK, though...

Sometimes you find True Love, and sometimes it seeks you out. But no matter the circumstances, you'll never see it coming. (I dare anybody to find an Eyrie series that doesn't have that as an underlying theme.)

   All from NXE...

Listen to your computer. It's probably smarter than you think.

You can't possibly know how good you are with a gun until the situation arises.

Don't ignore legends.

Never point a gun at someone you're not willing to shoot.

Do things because they're what you want to do, not because someone else doesn't want you to do them.

The driving age in England is not discretionary. ;>

Accept the fact that Angels usually don't try the same trick twice.

Know who's the point and who's the mark, and don't get it mixed up.

Bring the right equipment for the situation.

If it looks like a sensor eye, assume it is a sensor eye.

People with numbers for names cannot be trusted. ;>

Pay attention in a fight.

Things that sound like Really Bad Ideas when somebody else says them usually are.

And perhaps most importantly: Do not, under any circumstances, engage EVA-01 in combat.

-> A full auto reflex cannon is a beautiful thing

-> Never spend a Sith's life savings on a derelict spaceship

-> Beware redheads, they are almost always trouble <I dare someone to find a redhead in UF who ISN'T>

-> reincarnation can be a bitch

-> Satan isn't so bad;)

She's nice and happy, but she's a Magic Knight - so she's not herself trouble, but she sure brings it with her. :)

And she has a brain the size of my fingernail, and no readily differentiated personality from the other Magic Knights. At least, not in the anime.

And in the second season of the anime, she and everyone in Cephiro is anorexic, at least if you take a hard look at the side profiles. (I mean, Lantis looks like a scarecrow from the side, for crissake.)

If that's the case, exactly how much attention would I have to be paying?

"Who's the leader?"
"Hikaru. She's got to be. She's wearing red."

"The hell did THAT line come from?"
"Well, Umi hadn't said anything in a while."

"I dunno... Ferio and Fuu?"
"Sure, why not? It's not like their personalities clash."
"Ferio -has- a personality."
"And Fuu doesn't! Opposites attract, you know."

"Ah, character development."
"And it only took them twelve episodes."

Still, it's better than Fushigi Yuugi.
