Sorry for the late reply. ^^

I am glad you found my Btoom! review entertaining. So, to answer your comment, yes I have been following the series and so far I can say only one thing: It is crap in my opinion. Thus I found no reason to change my review in any way, shape or form as of yet. Jugding from how many up-skirt scenes there are, the producers are looking to lure in perverts rather than other viewers.

If Btoom! picks up its pace sometime later, I will add something to my review. Until then it will have to remain the same. ^^

Don't get me started on Asuna. From a supposed strong character, she turned into a puddle of water and a dramaqueen fast.

Have a good day. :3

Thank you for the comment on my "BTOOOM!" review.

I am well aware that I tend to rate low. I don't think that people would care to read a review based solely on my enjoyment level of a series, because that can and will differ greatly from everyone else's. However, I feel that rating a series based mostly on the quality of a series can allow the person to make his/her own judgement of a series. Some of the points I make are dumb, but I add them for the purpose of providing a rounded view of an anime or a manga.

However, even though my reviews rely on the overall quality of the show, they also factor in my opinion of the enjoyment level on a show. I probably should note that I have a habit of finding it difficult to enjoy something if it is not a quality work. While "BTOOOM!" has a "guilty-pleasure" feel to it, the lack of believability is difficult to overlook.

I tend to think that if one can explain his view on something, anime or otherwise, the person can make a legitimate review. I don't think that saying, "Oh, I like this show because it's so great" is "explaining." Personally, I'd rather watch a show which has a review similar to the following: "Oh, I like this show because every character makes intelligent decisions, and because the plot is easy to follow without becoming boring or spoon-feeding the audience." The latter allows the reader to understand the reasoning behind the author's view. If you don't care about the character's decisions or the plot, and watch a show only for enjoyment, than the former review would be acceptable for you. That is fine, and watching a show for enjoyment makes sense and is an excellent reason to watch a show. However, the second review allows for a broader audience to decide on whether or not to watch.

A review along the lines of "I like it because I like it" is just redundant and obvious. Stating reasons creates a more believable and creditable review.
