We are way off topic now... (oh well, at least I'm getting comments. I'm not sure I'd bother with this whole thing if I wasn't).

But uh, I dunno what I would give Haruhi, maybe a 7, it could possibly scrape an 8. I dunno; I thought it was overrated in my opinion. but then again I thought similarly of FLCL (more drastically so, I would've given it a 4), which everyone seems to adore. It might just be me...

You mustn't think highly of Haruhi then... Wait, you liked Air better than Haruhi, but you only gave Air an “Average” in your review. You mustn’t think highly of Haruhi then…

Yeah, I wouldn't say I fell into the "hate it" category; in fact, I loved the Air movie (despite it being from a different animation company, the artwork is only slightly modified). I got frustrated with it, but I wouldn't call it a bad anime so to speak. However, there is no denying that the animation in Air is fantastic; in fact, I do really enjoy a good visual experience, and believe that it entails a good deal of the viewing experience. When judging an anime, aesthetic value amounts to little insofar as weighting goes. However, there's no doubt that affects the degree to which I find watching the anime as a pleasurable experience. I know production values fluctuate severely between anime, however I have to say that the general trend of animation is increasing dramatically. Watching Ghost Hunt really made me appreciate this - the camera shots and pans were above anything I've seen before (and that makes no sense unless you see it in person probably). I actually thought Haruhi wasn't that great in terms of animation for awhile, esp. when compared to Air. Then I saw it in HD (which is great and becoming a much larger fansub standard). Now I'm having trouble deciding which one is better. I do like Air better as an anime though. Sorry to hijack your thread :o Wow, I’m so totally late on this one.
