Oh, the emergency-room spin-doctoring we *real* fans had to do after
"Paprika"...It was like "Metropolis", all over again. :/

anime 'cuz it's SERIOUS!" fans...At ALL.)

Pipe down, hater :-)
I have read several exit polls from Joe Average GotF viewer over the
years, and you're STILL the only one who hates it. After a while, it
seems less like Ebert pressuring audiences to sit through it and more
like curious moviewatchers being genuinely moved by it.
This isn't Haggis' Crash or anything, where the howls of discontent
from average filmgoers at least made for a vocal minority.

At least we're lucky that "Death Note" is the first newbie-recommendable
series to air on CN since Bebop...And that was what, seven years ago?
