I'm deep into Nadia now, episode 20. The villanous Neo-Atlanteans have set another cunning trap for the Nautilus. On one hand these guys all wear sinister masks, wear black Ku Klux Klan robes, and give their fearless leader Hitlerian salutes seriously, how many WE ARE EVIL markers do these guys require? Their behavior alone is plenty! But I've gotta give them credit. In addition to doomsday weapons, they've cornered the wool trade, and control 2 or 3 percent of the world's currency. If you're serious about conquering the world, economic warfare helps.
And we've got a boy who wants to grow up fast to impress the girl who calls him a child, but wait a minute, she doesn't want to grow up at all herself. Kind of like the Aang/Katara sitch in reverse.
The amount of death shown is slowly ratcheting up we're out of the Disney range now, though the story still feels Disney-esque. Well, except for the part where Electra, Nadia, and little Marie all take a bath together. Yeah, okay, it's an anime after all. Nadia, hate to tell you, but if you don't want to grow up, it's too late. Really, really too late.

Kim: [after listening to Drakken's speech on her weakness of being a teen] You're right, Drakken. Boys, dating, oh, it's hard. But this is easy.
[punches Drakken in the face]
Kim Possible, the REAL Disney princess!
