Keeping them in spoilers is probably easier for mobile users.

Sola's English voice actress actually collaborated with Iced Blade (the band that did the opening themes for Mask of Arcadius and Liberation Day) to create a Sola theme. No clue what the lyrics are actually saying, but it sounds nice.
Meanwhile, Claude, of course, has Monkeys Spinning Monkeys. She's the only character with an actual in-game theme, one that's featured in both main series games at that.

Sola presumably has more experience serving as a leader in combat situations than any of the other pilots, at least at the start of the series (Asaga may have overtaken her by the end of Liberation Day, but it's hard to say whether the Sunrider saw more engagements than Sola would have as Sharr). It's just something she's likely very uncomfortable with, due to both her personality and the traumatizing nature of her experiences as Sharr. Still, if push came to shove, I think she'd do a better job of assuming squadron command than Icari, who doesn't have a military background and generally worked alone prior to joining the Sunrider crew.
In terms of leadership potential, I'd rank them:
Asaga >= Sola > Kryska > Icari > Chigara > Claude
In terms of personal inclination to lead, I'd rank them:
Asaga > Kryska > Icari > Claude > Chigara > Sola
Ava: 1086 Asaga: 1362 Chigara: Eliminated Cossete: Eliminated Icari: 1390 (-5) Claude: Eliminated Kriska: 1057 Sola: 1343 (+3)

I actually typed that nickname in before seeing what the new total was. It was just an amazing coincidence.

The differences between the Ryuvian and Tsun Empires shall only be resolved through starship-grade kinetic weaponry (ours) and total annihilation (theirs).

I finished Girls und Panzer the other day and am currently slowly going through Bleach with a friend who wanted me to try it.
As for my favorite anime series, I'm not sure. Anime in general is something I only started getting into a couple of years ago, so I've likely seen fewer shows than most of the community here. Of what I've seen, my favorites tend to have at least one major issue. Gundam Unicorn would likely take the honor, but I thought it dropped the ball pretty badly with the last episode. When it's in top form, Full Metal Panic is far and away the funniest anime I've seen, but it definitely struggles more on the serious side of things. Mother's Rosario from Sword Art Online is probably my single favorite arc, but the rest of the show sadly lives up to its infamous reputation more often than not. Then there's Blood+, which is easily the least flawed out of the series I've seen, but didn't quite excel enough in any one regard to truly resonate with me.
When it comes to films, it's a tie between Kiki's Delivery Service and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

Mask of Arcadius still has the shower scene (or at least a truncated version of it; I've only played the censored versions), but that's it. There's no sexual content in the game outside of Claude's dialogue and the OP. I wasn't even aware that Ava and Shields had gone beyond kissing when they were in school together until I saw mention of it in forum discussions.
Liberation Day has the shower scene and a mostly obscured depiction of the Shields/Chigara scene from the point of view of Asaga.
Frankly, I'd prefer it if even shower scenes and the like had a censor option, though preferably one that still includes the narration and dialogue, even if they're set to just a black screen. It'd be very easy to implement and would be a nice alternative for those of us who just want a space opera with a bit of clean romance. And Claude.
I'm fine with things like the mindstream scene, mind you, especially since that manner of depicting one's mind is such a staple of the mecha genre that Sunrider is largely based on.

Please be advised that any declaration of war against Her Majesty Queen Asaga will be officially viewed as an attack against the entirety of the Ryuvian Empire, including the territories under the sovereign rule of Sharr Sola. Further aggression will be met with military reprisal by Solan forces. Cease hostilities or face the consequences.

Just think of all the paperwork the Conglomerate has to fill out now! Yes, they're all very excited about it. Also, Cosette should be at 215 right now, not 220. Rich didn't take those five off the total in his last post.
