I'll take the messed-up!Lulu over GaryStu!Lulu any day. Part of the reason this show sucked me in so much was the fact that none of the characters are really 'perfect' and that makes them so much easier to sympathize with. Granted, the Dammit Shirley, put the gun down! moments and No, Lulu, do not storm the Geass order when you're so clearly unstable moments may have been frustrating for the narrative, what with all the avoidable crap storms they led to, but I can't imagine the story being as engaging otherwise. Flawless characters who always get their way aren't fun to watch.
