Wow, thanks for all of the intelligent replies. Maybe I should make threads more often, as there are some really interesting posts here. I can't possibly comment on everything, but I would like to discuss one recurring topic - the concept that a review should use objective facts to support its opinion.

I don't buy this idea. The mere act of presenting facts to support your opinion is in itself subjective.

Consider the following two sentences:

Sentence 1:
Evangelion is one of the most loved series in the history of anime.

Sentence 2:
Evangelion is one of the most hated series in the history of anime.

Both of these sentences are true facts, but if I were to include just 1 in my review I would not be being objective - far from it, actually. The only way to be truly objective would be to include facts that supported every possible viewpoint, which is impossible as there are as many viewpoints on Earth as there are people. It would also result in a long, wordy, and very unconvincing work.

This is not to mention that, as Tetra has pointed out, truth is usually subjective anyway.

I have to go for now, but I'll try to write some more before I go to bed tonight.
