No, Tsob, I really really liked reading that analysis, it definitely helped put my own thoughts into order about Dianna. Thanks a lot!! I've only watched Turn-A once, and that post is inspiring me to watch it again to pick up the various nuances. I think the first time around, I didn't really think too hard about the characters because I was more interested in understanding what was going on and what the main plot threads were -- it was my very first Tomino show after all -- but the second time around, I'll pay more attention to Dianna and her evolution.

Thanks for reminding me about Lily Borjano, too. It struck me as amusing that she just sort of tagged along as they went into space and did all this awesome war stuff, she seemed to just be hanging with them because she was honestly enjoying it for the sheer thrill. I can respect that! Also there was this hilarious scene where she was just drinking hot cocoa and laughing because she enjoyed it, and that was great!
