But I am not one of the Munto naysayers: I think Munto2 is quite good.
I thought Lucky Star was okay, but that Kannagi was far far better, so I also feel that Yamamoto's exit is KyoAni's lose. As for Munto... I'll have to see. I remember what I saw of the OVAs seeming horribly cliched.

Yeah, I think this one is overhyped too - but I think the fact I realize that will allow me to go in with reasonable expectations.
