Obviously you couldn't get my point after I spelled it all out.

My officemate would disagree on your opinion with Transformers, considering his reaction to Transformers: Robots in Disguise when I lent him my copy (he liked Optimus Prime's "Battle Mode" and the Gundam-like appearance of all the robots themselves).

I see a bit of contradiction there. From what you point out based on the merchandice, the Cartoon Industry is aimed at kids (eg below 12), whereas the Anime Industry targets a much wider age group (or are you forgetting what Hentai is for?). This attitude is eerily like those stupid politicians lobbying against M and AO rated videogames like Grand Theft Auto because they still believe video games are for kids only.

That's not the first time I got that remark. My cousin questions the taste of anyone above the age of 15 who watches anime other than Hentai or those without fanservice/ecchi content (though she considers anything with fanservice/ecchi content as Hentai as well).

I didn't say that. I was referring to this:

It's perfectly sane to assume that a 2nd season of a horrid anime is going to be more of the same garbage.

From my interpretation, that statement meant any next season/sequel/product follow of any series should contain the exact same content, design, and quality as the the former. But clearly, TH2 is not exactly the same as the first TH or TH:RMM with regards to content/storyline/etc (eg TH2 is not a continuation of TH like TH:RMM is). Now, whether TH2 is better or worse than TH is up to the viewer's opinion. My opinion? I like TH2 best, followed by TH:RMM, then the first TM. Others' opinions will vary of course.
