Excerpting the piece would not give it justice. What I really should be do is to save it, in case he has to hop domains again.

My own analysis was rather pedestrian; I observed that pieces Scott liked are almost exact inversion of pieces I liked, and since my pieces are in the majority, I liked the whole thing more. Nobody is at fault, and we move on. Owen goes much further and digs much deeper.

Aside from Lucky Star, I have to say that the color bar was rather simplistic, if not outright deceiptive. Azumanga Daioh is known for its non-comedic value, as well as comedic; this is why it's a beloved classic. Owen never acknowledges it, because it would distract from his main argument.

Once set on this path, he proceeds to spin things his way, which ultimately detracts. For example, Azumanga's cast is not "large": Sakaki and Chiyo, Tomo and Yomi, Osaka and Kagura, Chihiro and Kaorin, Nyamo and Yukari, Mr. and Mrs. Kimura: 10 people all told. Lucky Star opens with a smaller cast, but then snowballs into what we see in the OP, plus adults. He didn't need to open these small gaps in the story about "Diehard Haruhi Fan Fails To Get The Same From Lucky Star, Writes Scornful Post About His Experience."

There's going to be a continuation. Quick, what blogger liked Hidamari but not Lucky Star? Same question about Sketchbook.
