Please... no...

I take comfort in the words of the AS mods that they won't allow these sorts of fanboy wars on new shows.

There is no excuse for not walking into this show knowing what to expect, at least in part. It's a remake, not an alternate telling. For rational, reasoned discussion of the anime to be met with blind, irrational fanboy vitriol (as we saw on a certain other recent show) does a huge disservice to the depth of the characters and to the plot. Everyone has favourite characters, of course, but Kanon is about so much more than "seeing your favourite girl win". Could we please stay focused on rational discussion and criticism, rather than blind defensive plays? That way, I think everyone's opinions will be taken more seriously.

I realize that most of the lurkers I speak to will probably laugh at this and say this is a stupid thing to expect from AnimeSuki Forums of all places... but there you have it, anyway.
