I didn't like the most of the "filler" episodes that preceded. Then again, there are very few others who actually enjoyed the show thoroughly. ;_; Haha, I definitely agree with sola and Lamune though. Lamune made it to the list of "most epic fail anime of all time" for me. I can't believe I finished it. ;P I actually found episode 19 and following of Touka Gettan to be the turning point of the series. I didn’t like the most of the “filler” episodes that preceded.

It possibly is pointless to have definitions in general, if they don't fall under widespread agreement. I think working on a side project has made me want to define silly things like <em>left field</em> and how it affects my viewing pleasure. This is in fact totally useless because a personal definition won't translate well to others 90% of the time, but since I'm in this media for the medium to long haul I feel it'd be good to set some definitions, so I may relate back to these definitions in the future. Hopefully I can become more keen on my feelings when sitting down with anime or manga, clean up unnecessary tangents, for I'm much too pliable right now. I liked the LS OP, but it didn't help the show at all, and only made sense in the last episode, it was more like a stunt. Thinking about it, the impact of the dance would have been better if they didn't have that OP and stuck to it near the end of the series (23,24,w/e). Cheers most do not really have definitions to begin with

In the end, of course, everything boils down to taste. I loved Kamina's death in that it led to the world's rebirth (if we are talking about Rahxephon, anyway), because it made the series more affecting, at least to me. There are some surprises (left-fields, from your post, I assume), that frankly just alienate one. I would say that the OP of Lucky Star were among those abhorrent surprises. In the end, the reason why debate is so futile among different fans of different opinions is that ... most do not really have definitions to begin with. :) Surprises are often there for a reason, I would say.
