I was looking at the birthdays Rob just added, and saw that Layla Hamilton is age 17, and I'm thinking... really? Her arc makes more sense if she's 21-23. I never got the impression she was an underage girl. I mean, I guess it's possible. Back when I was not-dating[1] a gymnast, she said one usually got about ten good years of doing gym before one's body broke down too much. So... plausible, but weird.
Which led me to two resources:
* A good general one for everyone, Charatan, a place to look up the birthdays and blood types and such of all your favorite animu. Convenient search by first kana in the title or first name. Tanabata is the most popular birthdate, btw.
* A very specific one, California Child Labor Law pamphlet, or maybe light novel at that size, which explain the myriad conditions on child actors and performers.
[1]: "Do you want to come over to my place?"
Girl, like ten years older than me: "Do you have any candy?"[2]
[2]: If you think that makes my life sound like an anime, a couple of years later I was in a love triangle at Psi Phi house with a girl named Chibi.
