Comments:

Let's make up a person XYZ. XYZ spends quite a bit of money on R2 anime DVDs -- say $500+ per month. XYZ buys things like "Love Hina" without any issue. XYZ also buys R.O.D. XYZ buys couple of "Figure 17" and says it's too expensive ($50 for one 45-minute episode each disc) and so XYZ doesn't continue with the series. I have absolutely no reason to listen to XYZ because XYZ's reason for "loving" anime has nothing to do with the art of anime. If XYZ said, "The story is not my type. I like more of an action type things like R.O.D," I would at least not ignore XYZ. Then again, why is XYZ spending so much money on R2 DVDs anyway, then? The same thing goes for "To Heart." If you claim you appreciate the art of anime and not see the unbelievable animation of "To Heart" and think that "Gatekeepers" is animated well, I have nothing but reasons to ignore everything you say about anime.

If you feel that I'm wrong, do point it out to me; however, do not do so if you don't know the differences between its/it's, there/their, your/you're, 've/of. And that's just the minimum requirement. Typographical errors don't bother me much, though.

At the end of this episode, I literally yelled out something I really can't put on my web page. As the comicbook guy in the Simpsons said once, "There's no emoticon for what I'm feeling right now." In this case, it's not due to the intensity of the emotion but rather due to the complexity of it.
