practicality

Seishirou as a Salior Senshi > Sirius in a Skirt. Now that's my kind of math. The U.S., admittedly, is not the best place to harbor secret crushes on anime characters, but we might be runner-up for Fangirl Capital of the World. (Oh, the forms. I forgot that that bit; yes, there's something marvelous about getting to perfect your signature on very official looking pages, rather then a doodle pad.)

And yet, somehow Sephiroth, even with the offensive sleeves and murderous shoulders, still managed to go above and beyond the laws of badass, creating a new level of 'cool' all his own. He is the a la mode of villainy, that others can only aspire to.
