You are entitled to your opinion, Anon, just as much as I am.

My personal opinion, having watched the raw and being familiar with the source material, was that it was pretty disappointing. I felt that it focused a bit too much on long scenes of Tsukiyama being creepy/pervy/shouting food-gasms, while leaving out pieces from the story I had wanted to see such as the Chase Scene from the beginning.

Your sarcasm is duly noted, Anon. But please dial it down just a notch, it isn't necessary.

Since you asked so kindly (and I extend the same question to you -- do YOU legally pay for any of your TG-related material?), I will answer you. No, I didn't watch Pinto through a legal option because there currently isn't one available to me. I do, however, have a Funimation Paid Subscription so I watch the anime legally and I have purchase all the volumes available in English for my Kindle. So, being one of those mythical Adults with a Salary, I do actually get my anime/manga legally whenever possible. Pray tell, do you, since that seems to be such an issue?

That said, I think we as fans are perfectly within our rights to criticize Studio Pierrot's decisions concerning the handling of the material. The character designs greatly differ from Ishida's work, and a lot of people aren't fond of the extreme Yaoi Chins that were added to many characters. I felt in this particular outing, it was especially strange to have such an exaggerated and pointy chin when he's supposed to be 16 years old.

I am aware that Morita didn't direct Pinto himself. It's simply a confirmation of the attitudes behind the scenes, concerning the staff handling the anime. A lot of people haven't liked how Studio Pierrot handled things, and Tsukiyama is one of the characters that really got handled badly by them. People are, shockingly enough, allowed to be unhappy if something they care about and enjoy is handled in a subpar fashion.

Studio Pierrot actually has a poor reputation, compared to several other Studios working in the industry.
