OK, not to get on a soap box and stroke the egos of the choir of what has become one of my churches (well, that may be a bit strong), but just a quick thanks to this website for guiding new comers like myself through what could have been a huge failure.
It would be interesting to know how many others are out there who are like me.
I watched the "standards" back in high school and college (Akira, etc.) and I liked them, but back in those days, there were no series on TV (not like today anyway).
So here I am, noticing all this anime on TV, not knowing what to think of it and I find this site.
As you know, the first few series you watch can determine your opinion forever. It wouldn't take many poor shows for me to watch before I thought that anime was a waste of my time.
Thanks to this site, with graphs, episode guides, reviews, polls, etc. I was able to weed out those I thought would not be for me. So I watched Gunslinger Girl, Samurai Champloo, GITS, FMA (this is a perfect example of one I wouldn't have given 5 min to if I just flipped to it), Death Note, etc. Well, now I am hooked. Keep up the good work! I don't know how much of this is a real team effort as opposed to multiple individual efforts, but it is working nonetheless.
By the way, what happened to the Click? I don't see it's link anymore.
