Wow, I guess your mileage really does vary. At my university's anime club,
(Cal-Animage Alpha, 1994-1995) when they showed LoGH, the reaction was so
positive that the club added a special LoGH-only showing to the schedule.
So there was a saturday afternoon where they showed like 8 episodes
back-to-back (episodes 5-12, I think). And it was well-attended too.
Don't know what year you were president at your uni's anime club, but I
guess the intelligence level of anime fandom has gone down a lot in the
past year or two...
