		<description>You know, I feel that this article could have been a bit shorter, yet still had the main point involved (like the whole School Days bit, and even some of your intro). But that's more of an ironic "neither here nor there" point, and being guilty of that sort of thing myself, I can't really complain about it. :P 

For me, as long as things remain interesting (and that differs from person to person), it doesn't matter how long it can take something to get to the point. For example, I would've loved Death Note more if there wasn't as much convoluted planning involved. Sometime it worked out (JUST AS PLANNED), but most of the time a lot of it just felt unnecessary. 

And I always thought that something "intellectual" made you think, and not in the "what the hell did they just say" sense. Oh god Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. :P</description>

		<description>hoho, ditto @ mellow's comment.

I think how "intellectual" a series is really how serious it takes itself, of course how clever it actually is, is another matter. lol</description>

		<description>I can't say I have a smart or intelligent comment on your post mike. But I really did enjoy your retelling of your experiences with Mr Lawrence.

Oh btw... ERGO PROXY -_- it annoyed the hell out of me. I really liked what I saw of it, but it could have had more boobs and action imo. The most memorable scene I have from that show is when Mr Big Scary dude busts into her bathroom (or bedroom can't remember) and stops like inches from her face. THAT would be a wicked scene done in live action.</description>

		<description>Sorry for the belated replies. I had to still deal with a lot of things. 

@meganeshounen

It wasn't that the drama was exaggerated; I simply believe that the mangaka didn't end it timely. The fact that anime paints another world distances itself, as a medium, from us. I think the words that are read and understood from novels and stories are also the things that bring us closer to them: the fact that we utilize our own imaginations and understanding to paint their imagery takes it closer to ourselves more. 

@Drm

I thought Ergo Proxy was utterly pretentious, too. However, it took me much longer to realize that. As for Death Note, I had fun early on, but then I realized how much protracted it had become. 

I will do, Drm. Thanks for the heads-up.

@Ryan

It was quite a battle, alright. He wasn't interesting for the most part but I vowed to myself that I was going to conquer at least one of his works. Your mileage may vary with regard to his more recognized works, but stay away from The White Peacock. It wasn't a total waste of time, but it was overly descriptive without much character development.

		<description>Wow, it's sound like you vs Lawrence was a battle. I'll probably be staying away from these titles :)

I feel like I've forgotten how to ride a bicycle....</description>

		<description>No megane, in b4 Cowboy Bebop/Haa Roo Hay/true tears.

Personally, I thought Ergo Proxy was overly pretentious. From the first episode. Death Note, on the other hand, I have no coments, save for the memes it spawned.

I did notice the same things you speak of in School Days. It wasn't just the main 3, the rest of the cast were enamored by his promiscuity. 

Seriously, Mike, go read some of the spoilers for Summer Days. Makoto gets his comeuppance. :3</description>

		<description>There are people who have noticed some of the exaggerated actions in Death Note... as if it need more drama that it already had... Ah well.

And really now, anime is a good medium for showing intellectually sound morals and ideas... but it still has its own limits. Even if those limits are about the art style and whatnot. There's still that line that separates real life from still/animated life.

Also, in b4 Ghost in the Shell. :D</description>
