So I decided to review ToraDora...

It was actually pretty fun rewatching it.

What do you guys think? And what do you guys think I should review next?

 

Okay, it's a bit rambly so I'd stick closer to a script or something. A huge amount of legit content and a pretty good analysis for just something you put together in your room. Delete the X/X format, it's silly.

You shouldn't shy away from spoilers and details unless you're trying to make it more of a should I watch primer. If that is the case, the analysis should be a more streamlined. The graphical aids are good, but could be more refined.

It's less gimmicky than a lot of these reviews and I agree with a lot of your points or at least understand them, so you're on a good track for me and probably no one else. Also, do some genre research for your analysis, you might be surprised by certain things you find in other dramas.

Anyhow, review Golden Time next.

 

Yeah, looking back on it, there is a lot of stuttering and verbal ticks, too. I'll try to cut it back on that.

I'm new to Sony Vegas, so I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Anywho, thanks a bunch on the feedback.

You want me to review Watamote? Well, I mean jeez, since you want me to so badly...

Spoiler

I'll put Golden Time on my list. ;v

 

X/X means like the 8/10 thing. I think for a review like this a scale isn't as apt as a prediction of the audience you think would like it/be up to watching this genre at all and how it rates on a tier list of must watch to shouldn't watch. Just numbers have a very fluid meaning because not everyone uses the whole scale and they only convey how much you liked it at the end of the day.

Like I said though, I like that it wasn't gimmicky and trying to be funny. So whatever you end up doing just put the same amount of thought and effort in and you should be fine.

 

I understand where you're coming from, but personally, I think people enjoy ratings. I go to certain review sites just for the ratings on certain movies, albums, games, etc., that I like. My ratings reflect how much I enjoy the anime, not how much the person watching the review will enjoy the anime, or even the quality of the anime.

And again, thanks for the feedback.

 

No problem. I just have a lot of experience with having to hold back on my own opinions to give people accurate recommendations. Like Nichijou for example. My favorite show of 2011. Over Madoka. Over Steins;Gate. I think it's a sublime comedy with the right mix of stupidity and intelligence to create and elegant blend of humor that really just gets me every time. My old friend says the characters are too flat and the jokes are too long. He really likes Azumanga Daioh's humor and says it's on a whole other level.

That kind of thing is pure opinion and no rating can reflect that and that's why I'm in favor of a more targeted view. Which isn't to say I don't understand the allure and appeal of the quick and dirty universality that is afforded by a rating on a number scale, I just feel like it's less useful in the grander scheme of things.

 

Ah, yes. 2011. What a great year for anime haha. And I agree! Nichijou was really great.

Also, I think in general, there's no such thing as a completely objective review in the first place. If I were to try to be completely objective through my review, I'd just be recapping the plot, and would give no real opinion on the show, which defeats the purpose of a review. So, I personally think to hell with objectivity and just give my pure, honest opinion of the anime, rating and all.

 

Makes sense.
