I think that the thing is. after a while... you watch all these terribly
intense on the edge type things and after a period of that, either you
look at things like FY with simple plot with scorn, or you see it as a sor
tof relief... sorta like giving your overtaxed brain a break :b

On the contrairy. I've gotten many... MANY men hooked onto LoGH..
actually... mroe men than women. i don't know how this comes about. At
first i thought that more women would like it, as well, because of
character developement and those intimate relatons between comrades and
such. Bu then.. they turn on me.. and ask me why I'm showing them a
"neo-nazi" anime? And I really wonder where tehy got _that_ from?!?!?!?!

Nah. I think both sexes like those wish fulfilling things. Especially
things like Marmalade Boy, a sort of teen soap opera, animated! o_O but
romantic and wistful.

*pat* Pat* Its all right. The thing is forcing ppl to start watching it.
after an eps, event he msot hearty complainers I bump into sometimes get
terribly addicted and find the novels and everything else they can get
their hands on ;b

Well... I personally thought that LoGH was simply beautiful, and although
it didn't have all sorts of special effects, I still think that there's
soemthing about classical animation cel styles that shouldn't be forgotten
in the craze for computer aniamtion.

O_O so bold..... But then my sister commented on ppl's desires to see
yang in the shower.... which in reality might be a very messy sight...
seeing how he brushes his teeth int he morning.... O_O;;
