    >I havn't seen Kon yet. is it weird that I hear more people talk about lucky star than I do Kon??

    Lucky Star's been cancelled for a few years while K-On is still going on, so maybe.

    >well, I guess they are mostly compaints about how its so popular and doesn't deserve it, but it keeps the buzz alive doesn't it?

    Every time somebody makes this bullshit argument, a poor orphan boy somewhere suddenly dies the day before his birthday is set to happen. I hope you're happy.

    (Serious answer: I'd like to think the show being on and taking up timeslots and having advertisements and music singles on the radio and doujins made of it at Comiket does more for its buzz than some people complaining about it.)

    Well, maybe it's just my skewed perception after all.


    but then again, we're talking about it right now, aren't we?

    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    ^^^I heard about it due to people bitching and decided to check out the manga because of it. Then watched the anime and fell in love with both.


    Also, Juan! Welcome brother, we have been expecting you. =P

    Lucky Star's pandering felt a lot more mercenary than K-on's. With K-on, there was some pretty obvious author appeal. With Lucky Star it felt like they were going through a checklist of otakuness.

    It's just an episode and it'll be some time until I sit down and watch it properly. I have tons of stuff I'd prefer to watch and read and play. 

    Such as rewatching Evangelion. :p

    ^^ A bit spiteful, no?

    No, I just wanted to see what the fuss was about. I was expecting Clannad and came out with something much more enjoyable. I probably wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't on display at Borders in the new comics section.

    Is it wrong that all these trait are sounding mildly annoying?
  • CrimsonCrimson

    ^Nope. The more traits GMH adds. The more I want to torch the result.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Eh, I tuned out the moment he said "Animesque"

    Besides, almost none of these describe Veronica Mars, therefore, GMH's argument's invalid.

    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Should I add angel wings, bat wings, or fairy wings?

    ^ FYI these aren't traits designed to appeal to me.  They're designed to appeal to the stereotypical geek.
