All Gods Are Bastards, all gods are cops, all Kings are imitations of gods. You can't fight against the real, mortal authorities if you're incapable of fighting the immaterial, immortal ones.

"Human nature (tm) is this thing I imagined from reading absolutely nothing about various cultures, or even the past history of my own"

It never fails.

For the anime adaption of "There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless...", they've been giving 4 episodes per book. But the problem is if the anime is 12ish episodes, that won't be enough to adapt the first four books. Ending things on a cliffhanging would be really tough.
