THIS MAY JUST BE BECAUSE I'VE POSTED TWICE IN TWO DAYS but I can't figure out when you're talking about the manga and when you're talking about the anime here! So I don't know how much I agree with you. XD;
I mostly meant plot contrivance in the way of - in order to get the anime into the shape they wanted, ie CIEL GETS ALOIS'D etc, the characters had to act in ways they wouldn't - Sebastian making a deal with Claude, for example. That kind of contrivance is way less acceptable to me than OH ROCKS FALL THE CHARACTERS REACT IN AN IC WAY. And sure, I'd love to discuss the anime with you! Your opinions on it definitely have merit!
What honestly upsets me, though, is that you didn't go "hey gaiz I honestly liked some of this" and talk to us about it! You also didn't bother to ask us if apping Kuro II would step on any toes or not! You assumed we were hating on the series in all its elements and then later went "oh, well, I'm sure glad I didn't app if that's how you guys are going to be ^^" in a separate journal entry, POST APP NIGHT. I'd be lying if I didn't say I had feelings about that.
