So I went in hoping for just some fun and I got it in spades :) I won't be seeing <i>Bleach</i> for sure (...dub...). <i>Death Note</i> is a possibility since it's screening during the brief interim between my Acen and Fanime/Akon trips, but we'll see if I have any sanity left for it ;) @LB: I dunno, I managed to pretty well avoid getting any expectations based on what I heard– and I avoided reading the reviews when they started coming out as well.

With all the press and publicity for the film though, it was impossible to walk in without some kind of initial opinion of what I had seen thus far. I did give it a chance though. Btw, will you be attending the Death Note or Bleach screenings in Portland? ^_^ I was just using generous as a default adjective of praise.

I wasn't generous at all; I was completely honest. :) And you noted in your review that you expected a train wreck. Expectations are probably 90% of what one's movie expectations consist of. @_@; @L.B.
