70 percent of your review was talking about Ecch aspect of an ecchie animei, ofc it's gonna be the majority of my reply on your reciew. It was just some reply because it irritates how your judgement is blinded by the fact you couldn't see past it. Very mininally talks about anything else that's not the other categories. It's painful that you could not see the characters past their body or just lable their character tropes like I've already mentioned. You can look at my review, seeing how more in depth than your surface level review. You went into this anime with a really high expactations due to hearing others rave about it ofc you're going to only glare at the "flaws" of it. If you seriously want me to be realistic and follow your rating system My Dress up Darling as of right now would be 6. I'm sure it pains your soul that people will look at your rating system and say My Dress Up Darling would be an 8. I will commend you that you will at least watch the whole anime before writing up a review compared to those who'll drop an anime then negativitly review it.
You're right, differentiated reviews are usually the minority by now. But I guess most people don't really take reviewing and media analysis that seriously. Plus, they probably only saw a few shows and therefore have no real basis for comparisons. But it can be kind of frustrating for someone who puts a lot of effort into a review and has thought about a piece of media more intensely.
Haha, Keijo sure sounds bizarre. But in a way I think it probably deserves credit for simply doing something else for a change. In a way that sounds cooler than doing the same generic plotlines over and over. That's one of the things I like most about Japanese media...you never really know what weird thing is gonna happen^^'
You're correct, I'm more of an oldschool anime fan (I grew up in the late 90ies). But my list is also not really updated - I've seen far more than I have listed here. The reason is that my Japanese is now good enough to watch shows without subtitles and so I decided to rewatch a lot of things and I use the list to keep track of that. Also, I want to see if I still like certain shows or how my views a changed. It's a nice trip down memory lane. But for others the list must be pretty boring, because I've decided to start with shows that are easier (so also often for kids), since shows for an older audience usually feature a lot of complicated vocabulary. But I still enjoy a lot of the shows, in that regard I somewhat refuse to grow up.
But I also like older anime more in general. I'm not saying modern anime is worse, because there were always good and bad shows, I just like the old style more. I miss the times when it was all still drawn and painted by hand. Plus, I think the topics of the shows are now different and I just really like cyberpunk or mecha shows. Mecha is kind dead right now, aside from Gundam (which I am a huge fan of).
Mir fällt jetzt erst auf, dass du (wie ich) aus Deutschland kommst...wir können uns also auch auf Deutsch unterhalten. Sry, ich hab das irgendwie übersehen...
Ah I see, my rating systems (if you can call it that^^') is kinda similiar. Even if I consider a show one of my favorites, I don't necessarily give it a perfect score, because there are usually aspects that might be flawed. But I don't (or can't?) factor my enjoyment out completly. Plus context, like the time period it as made in, also plays its part I think. But to me it's always cool when someone has a super-thought out scoring system they follow.
Yes, I understand what you mean. I think it's silly to hate on something just because it's popular and then believe you're some kind of genius because of it. And giving everything a perfect score kind of misses the point of a scoring system in itself.
I also don't really understand this immense desire for a consensus when it comes to ratings. How boring would the world be if we all liked the same things. It's much more interesing to see things from anothers point of view.
Hello, just wanted to say that I like your reviews / comments. Even though I don't always agree (which I think is natural) I think your perspective is interesting. Hope you're having a great day / night :)
"I am so glad the author didnt abuse her for fan service." (Your comment on Wendy from Fairy Tail)
Yeah I agree, I can handle fanservice for the young adult characters but the early attempts of fanservice for Wendy were just...no, just no. Good thing (if I remember correctly) later on fanservice for Wendy is cut.
