Sad to see both authors are dead. It must have been a quite disturbing year. bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
R.I.P. to the both of them. I was a fan of Kaoru. =\ |
It's really a shame that the these two works that won awards can't be continued. Congrats none the less. |
