However, Lain as The World is pretty much the first anime/tarot atribution that came to me, and quite a nice fit. Yea, I'd say Aura would almost certainly be my second choice as The World. Her and Lain do have some things in common anyway I've only seen a couple episodes of Roots so far, unfortunately. My initial thought had been Tsukasa as the Hermit, then I realized he has only a few similarities...and then I realized Bear matches at least two of the Hermit's associated concepts. A great many of the male protaganists in anime could be used to represent The Fool. Gene Starwind, Tenchi, Shinji Ikari, Ayato Kamina etc..I've only seen a few Naruto episodes, but that does sound like a good fit as well. As I was thinking ove FLCL characters, Ta-Kun just sprung out at me. I thought it was a good fit. Maromi could really play the role as well, and really Maromi would be my first choice as The Moon, but I didnt want three from one series. I thought about Melfina, but she just doesnt seem to have quite the maturity...many of the secrets she knows, she doesnt really know...she is a vessel of things she doesnt even understand.   I've not seen Escaflowne. This one is definitely a toughy. Motherly, yes. I dont think beautiful really matters...thats one of the reasons I choose Ubaba. She is a mother....and the Empress is also about gestation, shaping and giving birth in general...and she helps Chihiro to basically "grow up". It works even better if you see her and Zaniba as two halves of the same person. Thats another one I'm not familiar with. I'm not familiar with any of those...I choose Kambei because he is a mature male leader and strategist. Another that would occur to me would be Gendo Ikari. The Washi (AKA, the Haibane-Renmei Communicator) is pretty much a direct analogue for the Heirophant...however I had considered going ironic and casting Genjo Sanzo from Saiyuki. The Lovers isnt always actually about Lovers...its strongly associated with choices, options etc as well. Also, in some earlier versions it depicted a man choosing between 2 women. My Anime-ization is based more on that version. I think I have Fushigi Yugi on my netflix, havent seen it yet though. I havent seen Gundam at all. Your right of course that a mecha is an obvious choice..Evangelion Unit 01 or the RahXephon would fit well also, from that perspective. However, in terms of the meaning of the Chariot card, something just told me to use Ban...his personality fits very well. It'd probably be pretty easy to do a Get Backers only Tarot.</blockquote>
