I always wondered how a show was created and i'm finding out lately everything i thought was just made (and not just anime) has some hidden meaning behind it, and i'm glad i found the same to be true for anime (to an extent of more towards history even though there is meaning also but that goes from episode to episode).
But now that i know that there is history behind the shows... What about the different shows themselves? Thanks to you guys i know how close Ruroni Kenshin is, but what about other anime? Steel Angel Kurumi for example, i doubt there were people from the future who went back to that time to give people super tough fighting robots to save the world in the future, but what about the omnyo way? How true has that been played as? And was there truely a belief of Mystics being able to use spiritual powers for prayer and defence? (as well as restraint against evil spirits, ect.)
