Never saw him talking about it Lover, no doubt about that. I actually bought the Kizumonogatari novel, which explained A LOT about the style of the show. Miragee has Bakemonogatari rated at 5/10 for some reason, whereas I have rated it 9/10. As I said, it's one of the rare cases where our ratings differ significantly. | ||

I don't care about fangirls gushing on how amazing something is and seeing incredible things where none exist. Negative reviews, however, usually point out the flaws in the show - and every show has flaws. Looking at those is a much better indicator of whether the show is watchable or not. The 3/10 review for New Game! on MAL is way more useful, for example. It clearly establishes that the show is "cute girls doing cute things" and some light comedy without an overarching story that has any merit. While the review is too negative overall, it helps to spot the faults in the show and tells me what kind of mindset I need to have in order to find enjoyment in it. Whether or not a show is watchable is largely influenced by how much I can tolerate the flaws. That's how I go about it as well. I usually read a review with a high ranking and one with a low ranking. It noticed that negative reviews tend to fail on shows that don't feature a "right in your face" kind of storyline because often people who write those reviews didn't fully grasp what was going on and thus didn't enjoy it. But yeah, negative reviews are really helpful, not just for shows but also for buying gear etc. On September 08 2016 21:51 Toadesstern wrote: also, there are trolls on everywhere on the web.

I don't even know if Miragee ever watched that. Never saw him talking about it Nezgar likes it, I don't. I watched Bakemonogatari and thought about everything that didn't feature Crab was incredibly boring because it was all casual, sub-intelligent dialouge about stuff I didn't care about. In the case of Crab, there was actually some witty dialouge which was well written. I think I was also annoyed at times when they kept repeating certain phrases that I thought were silly in the first place. Whelp, I can't remember it too clearly, I only know that I decided to not touch another Monogatari in the near future. Bear in mind that I probably didn't grasp a lot of the references or play on words so that might have decreased my enjoyment. Although even when I got them I didn't think they were funny, either. | ||

The admins have gotten better at catching troll recommendations. As for ANN Reviews, this is my favorite one: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mazinger-z/sub.dvd-tv-series-vol-1/.76178 Not every day you have a reviewer say something like "Don't be fooled if you start enjoying it, this is an entertainment version of Stockholm Syndrome". | ||

If you look at most of reviews before 2008, you'd go "Yup, that make sense". After 2008: "Yup, that's why you shouldn't do drugs." | ||

I paused it straight after that scene finished and gushed at neo for like 20 minutes I think. May just sustain me until the end of the year. The thing with Senjou is that the moments we see her later are basically what I want out of romance in anime. Dammit she's just so honest with herself. Wish I could be that honest with myself. | ||

How did Funimation think this was a good idea? Good. I hated the Funimation site anyways, more subs on CR the better. | ||
