Alright, here's what I believe.
I think that Deadman Wonderland is one of the best shounen anime from the last few months, both for breadth and inventiveness. However, it has a number of shortcomings which many DW fans refuse to see. My largest complain with the DW fanbase is the tendency to mask everything with Kazuma's obvious creative flair.
Someone criticizes the artwork? DW fan posts a double spread that looks to have been drawn while Kazuma was completely high.
Someone criticizes the characters? Full page spread of characters crying. Ganta has 3 emotions - fear, sadness, and PANTS PISSING.
Someone criticizes the plot? Chekov, Chekov's guns everywhere. Doesn't matter that the complaints are usually about the stupidity of the plot, not how long it was planned.
Liking DW is just fine. Just as liking Naruto, Nichijou, Toriko, or Elfen Lied is fine. But fan's circlejerking over the whole board? That ain't cool.
