[QUOTE="horacethegrey, post: 6778851, member: 40123"] I dislike this so much. What they think will encourage you to seek out said series will only serve to drive me away. It's actually what made me avoid all the hoopla surrounding [I]Firefly[/I]. Now let me reiterate, I don't think it's a bad series, but I really don't get all the hype around it. I haven't actually watched any anime in years because of this. A lot of these hyped up series that otaku praised to high heavens weren't really all that great IMO. [I]Attack on Titan[/I] being the biggest example for me. Back on topic though, I've thought of a new example, JJ Abrams. Now this is particularly telling for me because the new[I] Star Wars[/I] is just around the corner and to say it's been hyped is like asking "are you even alive?" :p Yet despite the acclaim of his numerous TV series ([I]Alias[/I], [I]LOST[/I], [I]Fringe[/I]) I could never get into them. I don't even think the movies he's directed are any hot stuff. Disliked [I]Mission Impossible 3[/I], and never watched [I]Super8[/I]. I will say though I enjoyed his [I]Star Trek[/I] reboot, but [I]Into Darkness[/I] left a bad taste in my mouth. I sincerely hope[I] The Force Awakens[/I] delivers, but Abrams doesn't really inspire much confidence in me. The only consolation I can feel is that at least he's not George Lucas. [/QUOTE]
