Sorry for bringing this up with such a rant... but I never imagined fans in camps narrowed by tropes flaming each other. My criticism for Noitamina-fandom is similar when it comes to ecchi-freaks, shounen-
plot-loving-fanboys, jousei-jaded-OLs, etc, etc.
My point was that Noitamina-pursuits on a high viewership zone (all things considered) is limiting itself, and could do much better if it did not strive to popularize its artistic pursuits, but enrich them saved of the limitations that mass-consumption enforces, as other creators did/do/will when they find an appropriate vehicle to do so, and IMHO Tokyo's prime time air-waves aren't one
If anything, I lament the lost opportunities of some shows that were struggled artistically by the zone in order to gain mainstream appeal.
