Yes, but there's only my own name on it. Seriously, would you agree that your conclusion is a bit polemically exaggerated?

And hyping it after it starts airing?

It's called advertisement and PR and I think we've all learned to handle it. If not, you're in greater trouble than missing out on an anime you might have liked.

Besides, Irenicus merely stated reasons why he didn't watch it. Exactly how much am I supposed to censor my thoughts because somebody might draw whatever conclusions from it?
