There's a reason I'm here instead of several other anime forums and it mostly has to do with the community response to the kind of lame thought processing exhibited at that site. Strangely enough, I enjoy most of the shows he likes AND shows from many other genres (just as I'm capable of enjoying music from more than one genre). He appears handicapped in that regard.

Anywho, he thinks that being an anime fan for 10 years makes him an authority on anime. /me laughs hysterically. /me wipes tears from laughter. If Lucky Star's popularity is giving him such a nervous breakdown, then he should quit watching anime. I mean, seriously, it's only entertainment! Sure you can have an intelligent anime series or movie, but at the end of a long stressful day from work and life, I need an anime that'll make me laugh, and a series like Lucky Star is one such anime. Granted, I had the same "passion" as this blogger when Naruto was making its stride. I really hated that series, but at least I slugged through the first 30 episodes of the series (I reviewed it on an Internet radio show), before I knew I really hated it. This guy watched only 7 minutes of Lucky Star and proclaimed it's the "worst anime EVAR." Well whatever, knee-jerk reactions are everywhere on the Intertubes anyway, and it'll never go away. So I say, "meh" to the blogger. Oh man, thanks for the link man! If Lucky Star is oh so wrong in this effed-up world, then I don't want to be right! |

What can I say? Back in the early 1990s, I used to scorn, and I mean it, what the random /a/non would call lolipedomoé shows, I could only enjoy my anime if my episode have its mandatory fights and yells (yes the likes of Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya), later I thought I could put myself above the average anime fan by watching very wordy, vaguely philosophical anime like the Patlabor movies or Serial Experiment Lain (I still love the patlabor movies and Lain tho). Then came the likes of Kanon (2k2), and here I have come to enjoy what I would never thought, the warming feeling of looking at a female character (like Sarah Crewe in this 1980s anime) or down -to-earth relationship like in Orange Road. Someone tried to get me into Naruto, but I just couldn't stand it, it doesn't have the same well crafted fights of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, it doesn't have the same vibes of awesome that Saint Seiya or Yuyu Hakusho had. I have grown up tired of shonen and action anime.
I am pretty sure that if my old self of early 1990s looked at my self of 2007, he'd laugh in disbelief. Maybe it is myself who got tired of the machism or chauvinism of what I used to watch, or maybe I've played too much of MariBato or EFZ. I am sort of glad I've grown as an animefan to what I am now, I don't think I'd enjoy shows like Aria if I had the same tastes as 15+ years ago. And I would have never thought that a cute 9 y/o like Nanoha Takamachi can be badass =D |

It can be as small as anything imaginable though, like Lucky Star seeing a part of myself in the LS characters. I see my Anime/Gaming Fandom in Konata, My Ability To Inflict Self-Injury Through Clumsiness in Miyuki, My Shyness When First Being Introduced To Someone In Tsukasa, and My Preachiness And Constant Commentary in Kagami. By the way, Sheba, your Avatar is really really distracting like DeathKillz's usually are. |

Wow...can't you just feel the love and togetherness in this thread now? This is why I like the AS community. ^_^
I think I've grown somewhat stoic towards fanatical bloggers, because I've seen so many opposing viewpoints to my own that it no longer really phases me; I've come to almost expect it. When your other interests include political and religious discussions, and when you're a conservative student at what's reputed to be the most liberal university in America, silly anime rants and criticisms suddenly seem so trivial. It's a great feeling, to be able to read a vitriolic blog and then derive a good, hearty laugh from it for its ridiculousness. |

personal opinions is the main issue here ~ from what i can see the guy in the blog is just as stubbon when it comes to "hardcore Gar series" as Kaioshin_Sama is to his oldskool mecha (not a stab btw) ~ but at least you of all people are beginning to understand the joys of moe (if done in the right way )

I am a heroic fantasy junkie since I've seen Conan the Barbarian as a toddle, but I am still very picky on what heroic fantasy anime I've seen (so far, Lodoss, Kaze no Tairiku, Scrapped Princess and now Seirei no Moribito. Otherwise, I avoid the cookie-cutter Final Fantasy/Dungeons & Dragons/Lord of the Rings at all cost), hell I am a very picky person on a lot of domain be it literature, movies or food. Even as one who can appreciate moé shows for what they are, I am still discerning enough to avoid things like Crescent Love, Manabi Straight just doesn't appeal to me. Regarding Lucky Star, I can find my trivial knowledge or ENCYCLOPEDIA TIME grooves in Tsukasa or Miyuki, I can get as easily annoyed as Kagami and like a lot of people here, I can recognize myself in Konata and her burning passions in things that are usually not acceptable to 'normal' people. As for the avatar, I picked it for this very reason, it is distracting and I have a fetishist liking for the overknee socks and miniskirt combo. |

yeah.. the love would die really quickly if you tripped into a few certain threads on animesuki that shall rename nameless .... it makes my head hurt just to read the thread titles in them.

It's been sucking for me, since they dropped Shin-chan. But if Adult Swim were to show Lucky Star, that would be pretty cool.
... oh, hey what? ... nevermind eww... their staff writers are annoying enough. I can't imagine the sorts of comments they attract. |

I was going to say "love" was not the right word, but the more I think about it.... Of all the boards I sampled, AS had the best combination of lots of posts, lots of different posters, and good discussion. As far as I know, there's really no alternative.
There are some blogs I go back to, but generally I just use animenano and read posts that sound interesting. And the mods here are great: a light touch, but a certain one. And they certainly made the right choice in giving Lucky Star its own forum: closing in fast on Death Note; only 300 posts behind.
