I don't understand all the hate toward Glyph. I think he's a cool character, he's so simple and "regular" that you can associate with him easier than any other char.
Did you ever see BubbleGum Crisis? (Either the old OVAs or the TV series?)
My favorite char there was Lynna, but the majority of the fans hated that character, for the very reason that she was "boring", because she was the only "normal, regular girl" in the team.
Celia was mysterious, rich, intelligent, was involved with the boomer stuff etc...
Priss was your Bernadette, really, same traits.
Nene was the nerdy chick stereotype with super strong unmatchable computer skills
and Linna? In the OVAs she was just a gym teacher with no particular skills, worrying more about the income to pay the bills and not caring about Nene's romantic dreams. In the series she was the less strong of the team, getting involved as the last one and she was working for Genom as a lower employer.
Sorry for the big OT, yeah, I totally loved BGC. And I love Flipside. And Glyph rocks! (Altough I hope nothing happened in that house and that he's still him and no tin man or tin man minion)
