  Madoka doesn't boss around Kyosuke in general.  It's just that Kyosuke
is so wishy-washy, but through the series it's obvious that he prefers
Madoka over Hikaru.  Episodes 47 & 48 (the last in the series), establishes
a relationship between Madoka and Kyosuke--and its Kyosuke, not Madoka,
that made the move.  The reason why the relationship didn't develop sooner
was because Madoka and Hikaru are childhood friends, and Madoka, being
thoughtful, didn't want to stop Hikaru from pursuing Kyosuke (there are
some episodes where Madoka specifically tries to remove herself from the
triangle).  btw, for all this talk of her being a slut, episode 7 in the
series specifically points out that she isn't a slut.
  The movie was specifically made to end the triangle problem which was
unresolved in the series.  If anything, Hikaru is the bossy one in the
movie, as she tries to pry Kyosuke away from Madoka, but Kyosuke has
already made up his mind.

  Also, a few thoughts about multiple spec eyes.  Anime is aimed for
the Japanese audience.  Japanese people in general have dark brown eyes.
I can't compare with other eye colors, but dark brown eyes cause the
reflections to be more contrasting in the eyes.  Just loooking in the
mirror, I can easily see reflections of not just light sources, but of
other things which I assume can't be as easily seen in, say, light blue
eyes, hence, Western animation would be less likely to put multi-specs in
their eyes.  Well, just a thought.

  One last note, your "reviews" follow a definite pattern.  Anything with
multi-spec eyes is bad; anything with one-spec eyes is good.  I wonder
what your reaction to Ranma 1/2 would be--I just re-watched eps. 1-5
and all characters have one-spec eyes.  Geez, and I really wonder what your
reaction to Sazan (3x3) Eyes would be.  One of the lead characters has upside-
down U's for eyes.  Don't judge anime purely on the eyes.  I didn't even
notice differences in spec count in eyes until this thread.

Somehow this seems like it should have been on rec.arts.anime instead.
