Oh God, this makes even MORE sense.

The pieces fall together. I've seen this a dozen times in Transformers, when newer fans (regrdless of age) come into Transformers with no or minimal exposure to the brand, see G1 and assume it's some timeless classic.

It happens everywhere, and this just makes all the more sense, because unlike G1, Agito has that false sense of maturity to it I mentioned. ESPECIALLY the bit about Faiz. Faiz, and I can't say I've seen it myself, has always been the show I hear LEAST about, except maybe next to Blade. What I do hear is not always positive, so if that was all people had and then they went BACK to Agito, they would've been even MORE suseptable to it's superficial qualities. Combined with only ACCOUNTS on it's story, I cna easily see some people forming some sort of quasi-mythical status to it. Imagining it to be much better than it really was. Still without a yard stick to compare, the masses accepted it as the false icon it had been built up to be, because it's foriegn and different and if you don't like it you just don't GET it because it's from Japan.

Oh, oh this all makes so much sense.
