And being honest on my part, I was talking largely from my point of view, as I didn't think I'd been unpleasant at all, but perhaps I had also just read your initial posts the wrong way and you weren't trying to be unpleasant either. The point about the length of your post was more observational than opinionated - it was to illustate that I wasn't sure why you made such a blustery "can't be bothered to spend the energy" statement to begin with. I definitely wasn't saying it should have been a longer post, apologies if that was the impression given.The only thing that took away from the discussion was that you made it seem like you weren't actually interested in having one. As for the assertions that you eventually made, I don't really disagree strongly enough to expand on my initial post (for example, you're weren't massively impressed by the direction in 00 - I already cited some of the scenes I think were handled a lot better than I expected, so I'd just be repeating myself. As far as Gurren Lagann is concerned, "of course" it's a 10/10 show). Let's go back to the controversial subject of "the score" in an attempt to explain - you would give the series 7.5/10 (I could be slightly wrong there)? Right, well I don't give "half point" scores when I do bother with a rating out of 10, because that's turned it into a rating out of 19, and you're moving into increasingly murky waters. So let's assume I round half marks "up" in general. 9/10 for this series could be effectively 8.5/10, and then we're arguing about a series that we have a one "point" difference on (although, as mentioned before, I think our scales are probably pretty different, so whether it's really a smaller or larger difference is unclear).If you would really like something to disagree on and to feel intellectually insulted about, I could review K-ON!.
