FYI: Half the people who hate Twilight, do so with valid reason. Not just because its trendy. The last Twilight thread I recall someone posted a blog where the author dissected the series, its movie counter-parts, and its fans that don't seem to register the abusive relationship red-flags throughout the stories

Not that I really care one way or the other anymore, because most fans I've known have woken up on their own. But you seem like you feel that Twilight hate is just trolling or something. Its not really

This makes me curious though, about how well Twilight was received in Japan and what kind of response they may have given to this. Probably nothing, but I'm slightly reminded of the American response to Lance Bass voice acting in Kingdom Hearts. But that's probably due to my own loathing. Knowing Japan they were either enamored, or didn't care one way or the other
