1. Just went through an article about Black Cat. I might watch it when possible. Maybe there is life to anime after Inuyasha. Eve reminds me a little of River Tam in "Serenity". Rinslet resembles Ada Wong :-). Do you have a favorite character in that anime?

2. I like the premise of "The Punisher". Castle sound like a merge of Batman (cop out of uniforms), Motherface (good old fashioned revenge) and a canceled anti-hero i had (loyal to his family and soldiers with some "pet the dog" moments, but see the question whether shooting someone in the head as "is it smart" rather than "is it right"). As far as anti-heroes goes, i have another series to my watching list.

3. The "Gale's novel" theory make much more sense than the series. For Gale it will probably happen only in fanfics, but maybe you have an idea to a story within a story. After "Dark Seraph" of course.

4. As a guy who put the plot above all, in which gender aint an issue and everyone are judged by actions only, i hear you clearly. No idea why too less women in media are like this, but i have some theories:

A. Many people think someone can be smart or strong, not thinking of the option for both. Since women are (many times, but not always) smarter, some writers portray them as the voice in the computer/the silent backbones of the hero/any other fragile brain type. In the other case of one-sided portrayal, when a woman is portrayed as the brawn for a male brain, she will be played as impulsive or out of touch with her womanhood. I do my best to avoid one-sided types. Jurassic Park and Scream franchises were unique in doing multi-sided female characters.

B. Know the madonna-Whore complex? Some men judge women only as either mothers or love interest. In short, these people think women cant be villains (not motherly) or heroes (the active kind. The MWC people think heroines are "too manly", which means they dismiss them for not being attractive in their opinion). The long version is in wikipedia:

C. Remember the trolls in youtube that believe Derek and Trevor make better killers than Mrs Loomis and Jill without any specific reason? So there are too many of those. And the trolls are the mild kind. Most women haters goes far beyond that. A prime example, which there are people are like him in real life, would be Judge Frollo.
