In this one, for instance, you can just feel the 
tragedy... *whimper*

Eagle, knowing full well that he's going to die, 
tells the crew of his battleship that they're now 
under Geo's command... then launches his mech back 
into battle before Geo can stop him.

Why, WHY couldn't they have stuck to the manga 
plot for the second season of Rayearth?  *cries*
