So they boarded a starship and went from world to world. Wherever they stopped, he was always Shinji Ikari, itinerant speaker for the dead, and she was always Asuka, historian errant, writing down the stories of the living while Shinji spoke the stories of the dead…

I've been reading a lot of fate/stay night crossovers and one just occurred to me that I haven't seen, but seems like it should be: Utena.
You have an ongoing elimination tournament involving materialized swords with an end prize that is implied to be the power to change the world revolving around two characters who seem to be primordial archetypes for a multitude of humanity's myths.
Why hasn't this been written yet?
Edit: And a main character driven by the goal of being the noble prince who saves people.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.

It's Japanese with English subs, but then it's also in 720p HD: [[sorry, link removed due to caution -- Bob]
Sign-up not required, but reccomended for this BT Tracker. Trust me, these guys are among the best.
Also available from the same tracker, The Adolescence of Utena [[likewise]
Edit: Despite my personal feelings on the matter, I'm erring on the side of caution here and removing the BT links. -- Bob
Blackaeronaut, are these links legal?

Good question. Theoretically links to information about downloads and torrents aren't supposed to be illegal, but that hasn't mattered terribly much to the copyright stormtroopers in the past couple years. Technically, Utena is still licensed in North America IIRC, so these are pirate copies; I'm afraid I'm going to have to remove the links just to be safe. Sorry, BA.

I looked it up, and Rightstuf does have the license for Utena now,and they are planning on releasing dvds with the remastered video in the US sometime this year. Here's the press release.

You could send him a PM on FF.net, I suppose.

Here's one for you...
Mizuno Amy is a Healer-in-training in the Water Tribe.
Hino Rei is an up-and-coming Firebending prodigy.
Kino Makoto is a champion in the Earth Rumble.
Aino Minako is an Airbender that does not want to become a nun.

Or "First", maybe?
(Also, minor peeve: "Ami" and "Amy" are not remotely the same thing.)

Getting out-processed right now and I've been trying to make arrangements to get set up in my Aunt Amy's spare room in San Antonio. You try writing 'Amy' down about fifty times over a week and see if it doesn't stick.

Eh, not a problem. It only really bothers me when people don't seem to know (or know, but don't care about) the difference; a simple typing mistake or mental filing error is quite another matter.
