That aside, I imagine the pace is what some people find annoying. It's a somewhat old anime, and video has changed over the years (yes, even two decades is a lot by video standards). Sailor Moon has the old "monster of the week for half a dozen episodes before something vaguely related to the plot happens" approach to storytelling. Which is snail pace plot development by todays standards. |

I thought every fan was supposed to like Sailor Moon? I've never seen all of SM, though I've seen certan episodes. I don't hate it, but I find SM to be awfully campy more than anything. Quote:

Said fans, having gotten into anime with the recent seasons, go into Sailor Moon with high expectations. Letdowns are expected. |

I liked Saint Seiya more.
Or if you meant Mahou Shoujo, I liked Magical Emi even more. Quote:
But no, I apparently cannot call myself a TRUE ANIME VETERAN because I don't like some of the classics. |

No matter whether anime or ANY OTHER entertainment medium -- the older stuff often has to be appreciated academically. A movie film from the 1930s might be brilliant -- but the pacing and editing is likely to drive an unprepared modern viewer absolutely nuts.
For that matter sometimes a film I thought rocked in the 70s or 80s I can barely watch now just because the pacing is glacial compared with modern film, the special effects didn't hold up, or the most lethal: the social mores of the time are nearly intolerable now. The same goes for anime.

From what I see, the reason why people hate on Arcana Famiglia is probably due to expectation issues : they are heavily alienated by the plot summary that the show will probably focuses on a bunch of mafiosas fighting crimes and such (I only watched the first episode though). Instead what they got is a romantic comedy with mafia's theme and focus on the unlikeable main characters, which probably why they see it as the worst show of the year.
