On a side-note which doesn't really fit into the review, I found the names quite odd because there's no consistency. In Wolf's Rain everyone was named after parts of the wolf's body, e.g. Kiba = fang, Tsume = claw, Hige = whiskers, Toboe = howling. In Farthing Wood, they were named after their species. But in LAPIN, the naming is all over the place. The main characters are Captain (A military rank), Liebe (German for love), Bianca (an Italian name), Montblanc (French for white mountain) and José (a Spanish or Portugese name). Other named characters are Iffa, Jorge, Talki, Woody and Maha. These are all living in a city in South Korea! It's not really a big deal, I just find it odd.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
