Thanks for the pointers.
One more thing: Ougi, as the antagonist for the first act or so, is pretty much a textbook case of Love Makes You Crazy in my mind. After Lum saved his life, he was never quite the same. Basically, the Church of Lum, and the worship of her by the population of Phentax Two, is nothing more than a gesture to win Lum's unconditional love. Hence the observers, the Book of the Holy Apostles, the dubbing of Ataru as the Church's Great Evil, and so on. Lum (both Lums) find him extraordinarily creepy of course, but Ougi wouldn't care. He wants Lum, body and soul, all to himself.
And when he finds out that what he thought was Lum for the longest time is actually an Avalonian clone grown for her protection, and the real one has been hiding all along, well... There goes the neighbourhood.
