I don't kill

This is my baby. First time I read about it, it was... 2000, I think? 2001? I thought it looked awesome. It finally hit TV in 2006, after ten years of development hell.

You know that one fandom, when you're inarculate and bouncing up and down when it does something just right, and all you can say to sum it up is type "MY SHOW" in all caps? This is that for me.

Trigger warning for the show and what's under the cut for parental neglect, sexism, and imperialism.
