OK I watched LWA Jintor.
It was solid for what it was. A simple anime short with a simple tale. Now I wouldn't say it was amazing, or "best anime of 2013" like some others have been saying but it was pretty well animated and even though it had an all-female cast I still liked the characters (though they're a bit archetypal), and there was no pandering.
Which is kind of a weird perspective, and I know you explained your reasons, but that must discount a whole heap of media for you.
I shall.
As I said. Defected!
Any-who, whatever it took to get you to lay down your Steve Jobs!
