As in, not Cowboy Bebop?
This waffle house relationship that [as] has with anime is going down the wrong pipe. I mean, since the switch to the current [as] format, when the subject came up they felt no shame in admitting that it's ratings suicide that they would rather not have to deal with. But sometimes it's different, sometimes Cowboy Bebop is the greatest thing ever. So I'm like, "Fine, whatever, I guess they're one of many who overrate Cowboy Bebop. Not that bad."
But now FLCL is getting the treatment? Is whatever the rerun flavor of the ACTN week happens to be magically the best anime ever made? Papa John's had a word for that, it's called puffery. And I'm like Domino's. I don't have a taste for puffery.

... what the hell are you talking about? Are you referring to some new bump that I'm not yet aware of?
EDIT: Nevermind. I just saw the bump. While I still have no idea where the rest of your post came from, FLCL is Williams Street's favorite anime. They've said so before. There's nothing more to it than that.

You summed up it up in lowercase laters, so I'm done.

Paranoia Agent is the best Anime. Trigun is a close second and then comes Samurai Shamploo.
Thank you and Goodnight. All complaints can be sent to my secretary...which is a giant radioactive shark named Snugglebutt. I love him.

It's by no means a terrible series, visually wonderful, great music, tight storytelling, and certainly superior to the children's dreck that's been polluting the block. But it is extremely overrated and the central narrative is surprisingly shallow. Being a kid **QWOP**, OK.
Greatest of all time? That's utterly laughable. Gunbuster was better, Gurren was way better, EVA was better, hell, while on the same level narrative wise I could even say Panty and Stocking was far more visually inventive. And that's just Gainax.

This is where I realized your opinion means nothing to me. Dear god, every time I see a bit more of that, I'm struck by how bland it is.
