You never watched that series, did you? The main theme was forgiveness. Even of the worst villains. There is some heavy, heavy syncretized Shinto/Christian symbolism like the sword, mirror, and jewel combining into the literal Holy Grail and two separate characters being referred to as "Messiah." Pretty heavy stuff for something aimed at young teenagers in Japan (ignore the dub, I'm told it is an utter abomination).
It's also the single gayest thing I have ever seen outside of a Pride Parade. My first girlfriend directly credits it with forcing her to admit her own bisexuality to herself. There are maybe two exclusively straight women in the entire main cast and the title character is not one of them (if you're curious, I'm thinking Venus and Pluto, and even then...).
So...what does any of this have to do with the discussion here? I would rather have you sane and mentally healthy than dead, but I'm less forgiving than Queen Dumpling Head--it comes with actually having graduated high school--and I recognize that some people are beyond saving. Are you one of them? Maybe. And that's sad.
