Eureka Seven 22
So Charles and Ray are essentially Holland and Talho except that, while they dress like something out of Sgt. Pepper's, and have absolutely NO interest in not being deaf when they're 80, they seem to be a well adjusted, functional couple. Charles is respectful of but also very open about how attracted he is to Ray, and for her part, Ray is very trusting in but also independent of Charles. Charles also functions as an adult Renton.
Why Renton started dancing to that music when he was broke, homeless and hungry I dunno, but there you have it.
Frankly, much as I've at last begun to like the members of Gekko State, the couple on the Swan is already infinitely easier to like, because they can get through conversations without emotionally damaging someone or physically damaging them.
And of course Charles is in to his wife and not a teenage girl, so that's another bonus in his favor.
Surely my reaction to this couple has offended someone already?
