Guest post by "ericthetolle" Here's a couple more series you might be interested in, if you like strong female protagonists:
Cyber-6: A short yet beautiful French series with a plot remniscent of Cyborg 009, and artwork influenced by Aeon Flux. Our superheroine is the last of an army of cyborgs created by a mad scientist. In order to survive, she has to fight his minions, while at the same time, getting involved with a local teacher. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3TWKNurt1M&feature=related
WITCH: At times silly, it still has well developed and strong characters, and one of the smartest villains around- the kids don't simply win because he's stupid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIBq-z7vdMo&tracker=False&NR=1
Serei no Morbito: Basara the spearwoman, in order to atone for the deaths of eight people has vowed to save eight people; but can she really save a prince without killing anyone? This series breaks a huge number of fantasy anime tropes, and not just by having an older woman as a protagonist. As the series progresses, you realize nobody really operates on "anime logic". One of the best anime series I've seen in the last few years. http://www.anime-sub.com/watch/moribito-guardian-of-the-spirit.html
Anyway, I've been enjoying the comic, and I'm glad that you seem to be in it for the long haul. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes up next.
