hehe, I was just talking to Lee about this the other day. My club (WSU Anime 
Club) hates LoGH. Insisting that there is no plot and it is a "dumb" show 
while at the same time praising CCS and LaLa as wonderful and great.
Although I want to argue for anime, Lee brought up a good point. It seems 
that the anime these days are being "americanized" or dumbed down. Lot of 
"T&A and gore" as Lee put it. I started thinking about it, and it really is 
true.
It's pretty disconcerning, nothing really great has come out for a few years 
now. There are some good shows (Outlaw Star, Lain, Spriggan, etc.) but 
nothing to marval at. Well, Memories was outstanding, but series wise there 
is just a good amount of fluff.
I'm not a defeatist though, and I still have faith in anime, because I'm 
sure if you dig far enough into any hole you will find your gem.
