@Psgels: Well, the thing is that we often get disillusioned at one point of time about the anime that we enjoy. Call it drained out, annoyance or over-exposure to the artwork, we tend to lose objectivity. I am not saying we are journalists or critics, since we are merely amateurs enjoying this. However, we have to take note that one man’s poison is another man’s food. Even if I hate sketchbook, i never said that it suck because it is a pretty cute series. I just don’t like Sora.

@ChaosTangent: However, many of us fall into that fallacy. i cannot deny that it might be possible that covering the good anime would create a “yes men” situation, but what I guess is more accurate is that even on the bad anime, there is a need for objective behavior to present rather than telling someone how you hate it, and how the frame at 10.56 sucks. I do not really understand your last comment, but I guess on a personal basis, I like to promote things i watch which I believe should be watched on certain premises.

@Owen S: LIES, YOU HATE everything! I do agree honestly that you are generally not hypocritic.

@Rdrake: HAHAHA! That’s true.

@DKellis: The line is about misgivings and slamming. When you slam a certain series, you give no redeeming facts about why you hate something, and simply hate it to deter others from watching it. that, in other words, is trolling. I am also similar in which I cannot blog something i do not enjoy. I will stop when required.

@Washi: Well, the purpose as said is my own view, but I really try to keep objectivity in check, since I have been studying communication for a while. I am still struggling on the issue, but ya. Some series generally do not have a very strongfirst episode strangely, but ends off really good. I guess i will be saying that a good show might not have a overly spectacular premier, but must be reasonable.

@Griever: HAHAHA, THAT’S TRUE! I think that some people just seems to attack quite a bit when they watch something that is against what they expect it to be. That is usually when all the trolling begins. On that, Crusader’s gundam entries are a different lot where he is way sarcastic to the effect that you will laugh along rather than hate gundam 00.

@TheBigN: I still hate Sora. She’s the person that deterred me to watch, but I believe that Sketchbook has a lot of merit. Sigh, I cannot stand her though, but these words will never be in my posts.

@Totali: hahahaha, fun fun fun~ Well, it’s fun but I guess i always try to do something extra in order to bring people to series that they will not normally watch.

@Tj: ya, so true.

@Super rats: Hahaha! Well, the purpose of anime blogging is up to each person to decide. That is my view of things since I tend to take my hobby a little more serious than most normal people would do.

@Kiseki gurl: Hhahaha, I think that it is fine but I guess i disagree on the point in which you do not bring the other side of the coin into the review. Sometimes, we often write our impressions happily but we forget that there are some who use our opinions to choose series. When that happens, you might have deterred some that might love the show to hate it. That is perhaps my only concern when people slam it.

@Hinano: Well, I actually enjoy the fall shows quite a bit. There are quite a few good series, but I guess it might be the fact that you watch probably 3-4 times the amount of series i watch. Ya, I think in a way, I sometimes wonder why you are openly annoyed at some episodes that I felt was ok. Not great, but ok viewing. The disclaimer definitely needs to be bigger ^_^

@Bamboowitch: Spamming for the win! Well, fake spamming at least. I personally do not like shounen series, which is why i generally do not blog anything about it, since i know it will be hard for me to be objective toward it. Nevertheless, i did have good words for kenichi (darn funny), night wizard (generic but ok stuff) and Kaze no Stigma (not something i truly like, but ok).

The thing about Naruto is that it fits a very important hollywood feature in which the hero often suffers a lot of things before triumphaing. It also has magic and ninjutsu, things that kids and young teenagers enjoy. Hence, the mainstream appeal allows many to like it.

Oh, btw, do not watch Shigurui if you hate gore and the likes…It might be a bit too much even though it gives a very realistic portrayal of samurai stuff (supposedly).

@Linya: Hahaha, Ya, i generally do not force myself to blog something I dislike. It has to be something good. I do not believe that I have extremely high qualifications or standards, but I do watch something with decent animation, quality, plot and nice characters. I am glad you enjoy the reviews here ^^

@Brikhaus: arrr. I am very into the brother and sister and everyone has already blogged about them, but trying to find those that are less blogged due to little love. Ya, that is a good way to do it, even though I must admit that i drop series by the first episode sometimes due to my dislike of it. Yet, you will never see it.

@Rollchan: agreed. Crusader is evil.

@Dkellis: You hit the nail. I cannot say more than that. You hit it where it hurts.
