proof of intelligence in anime fandom?

I never thought I'd see the day, but Animefringe has published an incisive, intelligent essay examining a central theme (political intrigue) in Gasaraki.

Every time I mention how good Gasaraki is, I'm immediately drowned out by others complaining about how boring they found it. So I'm glad to see someone else appreciate it for what it is (an intelligent, plot-driven political thriller with elements of Shinto mysticism) rather than what it isn't (stereotypical "only this hormone- and angst-driven teenage pilot of a giant robot can save the world" show).
