Am I the only one a little bugged by the leaps of logic in this show? Why would you, of your own accord, give your cloths to a nude man accosting you with a gun? Why would you then travel alone with him willingly all over town before deciding you've fallen in love? What kind of police officer in their right mind would accept someones dick as proper identification? (and not assume they're drunk for trying to do so.) Why would some random person on the street give you their pants? (Though that's so odd it may be explained later)

The whole series of events that sets up the premise doesn't make any sense.

I heard in that fansub forum that's a sly political stab against the Republicans most notably this.

Why would you need logic and reasons when you're watching a _fictional anime_? :)
I dare you challenge me.

Funny, I thought the exact same thing when I saw it , but I ended up dismissing it since I couldn't believe that some Japanese animation studio would pay or care enough about a minor american political event that they would bother to put a reference in their show. (And it's so subtle that It would fail as a reference, I'd wager most of the american audience wouldn't get it, let alone the japanese audience.)

That argument is a cop out, and so painfully flawed I shouldn't even have to explain why.

Besides, they've gone to great pains to show this is a realistic world (read; our world,) this isn't a studio 4C art film after all.

No need to thank me, just remember to use it.

On another note, I find it highly amusing that people have only now begun to appreciate Oasis's music merely because it was used for the OP. Funny how once something gets an association with anime it suddenly makes it so much more appealing.
