@Janken:
So you're judging a series without ever watching it and so by seeing it "plastered all over the god damn internet", you can tell that it's no better than FLCL or Haruhi? It seems you'd rather continue bitching about it without ever knowing if you'd like it or not.
I already know I wouldn't like it. That's why I don't watch it. I have no desire to watch some sketch comedy anime about schoolgirls and their OMG WACKY ESCAPADES!!!!!!!!! Same reason why I don't watch Sailor Moon, Best Student Council, Peach Girl, etc.; you don't need to actually see something to know it sucks ass.
Sorry, but I have no intention to watch your little schoolgirl show.
On the topic of overrated characters, I got one; Sesshoumaru, from Inuyasha. Yes, he was mentioned by someone else, but he deserves a second mention. Here's a guy that's just a walking, talking, "bishounen" stereotype. White hair? Check. Looks like a woman? Check. Put on a pedestal as an undeserving uber character? Check. Has his once cold heart warmed, and shows his soft side? Big check. Sesshoumaru could've been half-decent; his acid claws are a decent power, and that whip he uses was cool to watch, and he was alot more tolerable when he was just a straight evil mother fucker. When Rin came along, he became a sappy waste of comic, and TV, space, and seeing him get his ass beat by Naraku, Mouryomaru, and this new guy is a treat and a half. And what makes it worse is that he's so beloved by fans of that series, and he has no real right to be. I mean, are fangirls really this mindless?! All you have to do is slap a shitload of archetypes on a character, and the mindless masses go ga-ga for them?!
Good God…
