I made a review about this series quite a while ago:

At that point the series was far from being well known, but it increased rapidly in popularity and in the end the art is the type of thing that our you love it or you hate it. To me it had always a certain attraction because it's some kind of grotesque-like variation of the very traditional depiction of the Middle Ages.
And you do not seem to bother either to actually view this from the point of view of a OP fan. You are not much different from the OP fans you describe. You have just been using a thread about another series to fuel this entire meaningless discussion about OP. You stuck all the OP fans into one group and then talk about the 'typical OP fan response'. You have no idea what their viewpoint is and you just blame them for everything, even the hate that some people have for OP. If you would bother to view this from a OP fan point of view, did it ever occur to you that they might be like that because there are people who bash it for not reason? No, you automatically blame the OP fans for that and then they have to change their point of view, but not you? If you would follow your own advice, you wouldn't be talking about a 'typical OP fan response'.
Every series has got its own annoying fans and what the best series is, is a subjective opinion. But the way you are acting is as much annoying as these mindless fanbases every series has and the two are actually not that different. You are as much wrong as these senseless OP fans who lost all sense of criticism and realism. So stop this senseless argument and stay on topic.
