Normally, when someone says "It's interesting how similar A is to B", they're talking about significant similarities between the two. After all, it's hardly "interesting" to find insignificant associations between things.

In my dictionary, SEED is pretty much half a clone.

It's not
my definition that's really in question. It's how
you justify saying "A is similar to B". If you're not even trying to claim that there's any significant (read meaningful) similarities between them, then does it not render your entire argument moot?

Your interpretation is incorrect. Seele in Eva was trying to eliminate individuality, while the real leaders of Zanscare were just in it to gain power and to stifle dissent.
My point is that there
aren't any real similarities between Sailor Moon and Victory. I'm sure that if I tried hard enough, I could find some convoluted argument to show some, but that's called desperation.

Is just better to point it out in action |
Actually, this is a tactic normally just used by people who don't have any real arguments themselves.
