Choosing An Anime Reviewer For You

By Marissa Velazquez


Anime is more than a genre. It covers everything from collecting card crazes to dystopian visions of the future. Therefore it can be hard to narrow down all the different titles and whether or not something is appropriate for you or someone else you are choosing a title for. One way of doing this is by choosing an anime reviewer.

Before you look for reviews consider the kind of stories you like. For example the dystopian vision of the future and violence of the classic futuristic drama Akira is considerably different from the more Disney like Hayao Miyasaki. What you choose depends on what you like or in the case of finding something else for them what they like.

For example a lot of people associate it with slow motion and repeated frames. It tends to suggest fluid movement and not necessarily that much detail. However this is not necessarily the case. Hayao Miyasaki is a notable exception. As a director he painstakingly drew frames by hand, providing rich colour and detail.

Some people will use rating systems. This may involve stars or amounts out of ten. This is best if you are in a hurry and want to see what someone thinks at a glance. If it is three out of five or five out of ten then you may wish to see why they think that in order to gauge whether or not the title you are looking for will appeal to you. Often the three out of five ones tend to be in the middle, with some people enjoying them and others less so.

It is important to emphasise that in Japan it is accepted that animation is a visual artform. There is not the same idea in the Western world that it is mainly intended for children. This is why if you go to the anime section of a video store then you are likely to see a wide array of titles.

Some reviewers will use rating systems while others may simply write the review without stars or numbers. Broadly speaking the system of reviewing tends to be either a star rating out of five or assessing out of ten. With these systems lower numbers indicate a low opinion while higher numbers suggest something is brilliant and well worth your attention. While a one star or five star review is clear pay attention to any three star reviews. Think whether or not the reviewer has a personal bias and try to read between the lines!

The simple fact is that it is impossible to watch every television series or film ever made. Furthermore everything you watch tends to involve an investment of time and money. This is why it helps to read reviews or watch review shows as this will give you a better chance of finding something you want to see. There is no guarantee that you will always agree with a reviewer but you can usually find at least one who will be reasonably in sync with your personal preferences.

This is why it helps to look for more than one anime reviewer. Some people will do podcasts while others may present it in text form. Checking various sources will allow you to get a broad range of opinions and make it easier to find a broad consensus of opinion. Look online and you will be able to find a number of different review sites to help you explore the wide array of options available to you.
