bANNed!

There are websites where anime fans come together to follow current trends in anime. And then there's Anime News Network. ANN's writers are recognized across the web for their ability to talk down to their readers and ruthlessly skewer segments of the fandom for perceived character flaws therein. Indeed, they are not anime fans but <em>film students</em> and <em>animation</em> fans, with trained eyes and sharpened intellect capable of detecting subtle nuances that pedestrian anime fans could never hope to appreciate. ANN's excellence in the field of anime reviews is so unmatched that it has earned the site the esteemed title of <u>Internet's Most Trusted Anime Drama Llamas</u>. Been banned from the ANN forums? Called names by the writing staff for disagreeing with a review? Post your butthurt fanboy rage here!
