With enough flash applied liberally all over the screen, it's easy to distract from things like unique character design. Or story. Like gaming. Do something enough times, people will grow used to it, and love it. Trying something new or unique is risky when the familiar gains so many brownie points for thinking inside the box. I hear coworkers talking about the new issue of Naruto every week and I wonder if they realize each and every discussion between them begins and ends with "X has gotten stronger", or "X really got DESTROYED THIS WEEK SON!!!!11!!!1" We already know what template that show is feeding off of. So we get force-fed the next stale anime-flavor of the week featuring poorly animated flash creation #38854 with an obnoxious buxom love interest by his side, starting his monologue about his difficult life is and the state of the world that we know is all filler for the next fight scene. Admittedly where 95% of the budget has gone. It's a shame that great works are becoming the exception in our respective mediums and not the rule. Kinda shows where things are headed, eh?
