Indeed, a very good show.Amazing series. Thoroughly recommend it.
Another interessting Anime/Manga I would recommend, that goes in a similar direction is "Toward the Terra". Not sure if you know this one Razor One.
In that story, telepathic people (called "Mu") are seen as a serious threat to an anti-utopian human society. Among other things, every human on the edge of adulthood has to undergo a series of tests (in other words torture), to find out if his or her emotions trigger a telepathic respons and "awakens" as a "Mu". If that person is a telepath, he or she will be killed at once, all others get their memories deleted and are brainwashed, so that they (among other things) can not develope those abilities later on.
However, those powers don't come without a price: someone who has strong telekinetic powers is usually physically very weak, someone who has the ability to "telesend" his thoughs to others is mute, someone with a very limited clairvoyance ability is blind, etc...
So one could wonder: why the big deal? Well, at one point in the story one of the "Mu" has an emotional breakdown, as she thinks, that her son has been killed. Even as she was not a powerfull "Mu", she would have been able to destroy the huge starship, they travelled on, on her own, if she hadn't been stopped in time. Those "Mu" need to learn to control their powers and keep their emotions in check, if not, things can get very ugly.
I am not 100% sure, but I guess Loroi (especially unsheathed ones like Fireblade) are similar in that regard and I assume emotional unstable ones are taken care of quickly.
