Here's a character I'd like to see evaluated by the list, at least
as far as talent goes: Chirico Cuvie from VOTOMS. Seems like
VOTOMS sticks very closely to real-world talent levels (or at
least as close as you get in anime), and even at the end of the
series with Chirico at the height of his Perfect Soldier talent,
plenty of Chirico's foes manage to score hits on him. Same goes
for shows like Gasaraki and Blue Gender.
Haven't seen VOTOMS, but I thought Blue Gender handled this pretty
well. Same with Macross, like I said; even Max wasn't superhuman by
any stretch of the imagination.
Ah VOTOMS...It's not made that clear in the anime but there is one
super big spoiler that changes your view of Chirico. Takahashi seems
to be fond of these last minute revelations as he did the same thing
in Gasaraki. And ruined both series in my opinion.

Anyway, ready for the supreme Votoms spoiler?

grrr...it cut off my spoiler. I guess I gave it too much space. Here
it is again.
Chirico is an Overman, the only one of his kind and a being far
beyond a mere perfect soldier, far beyond a newtype, coordinator or
whatever those W gundam pretty boys were. You see, millions of years
ago a super computer called Wiseman was made. Over time it became so
powerful that it could manipulate the universe itself. Chirico is its
sole heir. Wiseman watches over Chirico and will not let him die. Oh
it'll let him be severely injured, but never die. Wiseman will change
reality to protect Chirico. If you put a gun to Chirico's temple and
pulled the trigger, it would jam, or some other incredibly rare event
would happen that would let Chirico live. He can not die. Of course
finding out about this at the end kind of kills the realistic mecha
show you had been watching previously. At least it did for me.
