>>279604179 (OP)I liked it before /a/ was even created. It is the only anime I would put in my top 5 series ever made (right after The Wire at #1 and Twin Peaks at #2, ahead of Sopranos).
You need to be an *NT* type/be born with a soul/have an inner voice to understand the appeal of LotGH. But it is true that the only reason it's so high on your "rating websites" and whatnot is because the soulless drones are afraid of going against something they don't understand, and what they would call "Nazi chud propaganda" gets drowned out in their mind by "they're heckin gay so it's okay".
I rewatched it about 3 times, and two of the rewatches were just because I looked at the first few episodes again for no reason and couldn't stop. Only TW and TP do that for me.
