I guess maybe it's more of a "potentially divisive opinion"?

While Ryuki has a lot of big fans (me included) I often see a weird ammount of hate thrown at it. Maybe this is just in the circles I run in. I often see it sort of presented as a show "with good ideas, but bad execution", which doesn't make much sense to me. Without giving too specific spoilers I also know a lot of people who hate the ending of the show. Personally i think the ending is very poignant, and creates a situation where the audience is able to feel the same sense of loss that certain characters in the show are experiencing themselves

I've also come across the opinion that "Gaim is just better Ryuki" a number of times, which personally I'd disagree with, also at a very base level Gaim and Ryuki have very different intents with their messages so I don't think Gaim serves as a replacement to Ryuki in really any significant way despite their similar premise
