Like I said, I don’t plan on rewatching the anime any time soon (and I don’t know how the anime differs from the manga). That said, if you’re serious about it, send me a private message and I’ll send you my MSN account so that you can nag me on there so I don’t forget to respond to this. =)
As far as I know, there is no private-message function built in to lesswrong. I prefer to maintain some level of anonymity anyway, and it would hardly be worth creating an account specifically for this purpose. I don’t care that much, though a general idea of which character does it or when would be appreciated.
All that aside, reading it made the whole thing move a lot faster, which probably contributed to the enjoyment, but I otherwise I think they are fairly similar.
Also, if you click on someone else’s name, that is, so you can see a different person’s profile, then there will be a direct link available to message them. But, again, unless they’re actively checking, I don’t think they’ll have any obvious way to know that a message was sent to them.
EDIT: when I said there’s no direct link, I meant “there’s no obvious simple path from just clicking stuff on the front page of LW to get to your inbox”

There actually is a private messaging thing built into LW, but it’s not obvious, and there’s no direct link to see incoming messages.
go to http://lesswrong.com/message/inbox to see your inbox (which includes replies to your comments).
