Wow Kamal....I am impressed. I thought you were going to name some terrible anime like Toradora, Gurran Lagann, Melancholy of Haruhi, etc. Okay, if you haven't noticed, I hate anime. I want to like it, but I find a lot of them awful. Monster is one of the few I enjoyed. I also enjoyed Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note.

I can't quite place this. You list all very popular shows with very high 'critic reviews' but I find hate for the ones you like much more common (speaking of FMA and Death Note). Interesting.

I think you find the hate for the ones I like more common because they're mainstream. Both of those got aired on Adult Swim, and you can find some of their products in Hot Topic, etc. I don't remember seeing any merchandise from the ones I don't like in the mall. Same goes for a TV airing. I had to watch those online. I stopped watching Gurran Lagann after ep. 3.

Part of it is the newness of the other shows. Toradora got licensed earlier this year and is very much a 'critical success' more than a commerical success in the States.

Although, quitting Gurren Lagaan at episode 3. Kinda humorous to hate a show after seeing so little. Certainly not enough to claim that it's completely terrible. (at least imo)
