I didn't post here at all yesterday. Sorry guys. And Sephy. 
More artistic than an Alfa Romeo.
Yeah, well what happened was, this ghost just passed over this thread and before we knew it we were all Premium. I was actually Premium before anything happened, and I knew who gave it to me before...so yeah.

My Question -> Why the Shonen hate? Does not compute...

Shounen is like easy listening, great to relax to. Seinen is serious stuff, challenging, like the literature they make you read in college, gets you thinking. Each has its place, and like I said about Gintama, some even combine the two, can be fun if you just want to relax your brain, or can be stimulating if you make the effort to read into the innuendos.
But yeah, nobody should be hatin' on shounen for being shounen. If it's not your gig, just pass it by and let others enjoy without criticism.

Jeff -> On my personal preference, as long it catches my eye (slice-of-life slapstick/ecchi). I can relate on both genres (even Shoujo, after reading Hot Gimmick & X-Men Misfits), what I don't get is the hateness atmosphere on shounen/shonen on TGAT...

Well, I don't think TGAT hates shounen... although there are certain trademarks of shounen anime/manga that some of us don't particularly care for.
So it's like somebody who doesn't have a problem with horror films per se, but can't stand ones that are riddled with all the usual horror cliches imaginable. There's some shounen we love (like FMA:B), but then there are the cliche-riddled crapfests like DBZ and Bleach.
On a side note, shows with hundreds of episodes, like Bleach and One Piece do, tells me that they're either making the crap up as they go along one arc at a time, or it's based on a lengthy manga that was made up as it went along one arc at a time.
For something that's just silly and fun like One Piece, that's fine in the same way that I don't expect writers to plan out an entire sitcom from beginning to end... they make it up as they go along on a per-season level. But for a show acting like it's trying to tell a serious story, I can't buy into it if I feel like they're just making crap up as they go along.

^ I for one tries to retrain on watching many, many mainstream animes. Although I'm still quite guilty over the past few years. Watching Bleach & Inu Yasha among the titles. 
-> But different tastes are different, I'm not quite into loli-types (as what most people here in TGAT), but I'm in borderline of Moe-ness (as I see these series as 'stress-relievers').

Okay SuperShouden, got me watching Rideback. CG mesh is rather weak, but story so far is good. And that Romanoff MF is clearly Takumi Fujiwara, which is funny, since the animation style already reminded me of ID, and the main character Rin of Takumi specifically.

I'd hate to imagine what would happen if he did a robot anime.
"Probably rip off a load of ideas."
Then what the hell are you doing using my avatar?! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!

Oh shut up, Sephy
I'm kind of enjoying Katawa Shoujo right now. Anyone interested in VN's should try it out and it's free! But I can't link it here because it's 18+ :3

Just watched the first three episodes of Burst Angel. It's pretty awesome. Lots of action.
Also up to episode four of the second season of Gunslinger Girl. It's actually starting off pretty good but season one also started off good and then it fell flat on its face so here's hoping season two keeps going the way it is.
Off to class now!
However only three episodes in and Meg has been kidnapped twice. What the hell lol.
