Hehe... that's no big deal. I didn't think you were belittling me, I just wanted a chance to explain why I didn't like it. :) Just so I don't seem like an airhead. (though I may be a little too late, hmm? ^^)

Shinji and Asuka reminded me of too many relationships I've seen in real life. That's probably my problem. I don't like *real* stuff. I know a lot of people who do, I just... don't. :)

On the plus side, I really like both characters. ^^ Plus, the animation in there was great, and I loved the action. I just didn't like the ending.

I understand about defending your favorite movie. I'd feel the same way if someone I knew said they didn't like 'Princess Mononoke'. :)
