can you describe on why it should be rated not higher than 4? I personally give it a 5 and this is my explanation to it http://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=215587

I rated it a 1, and the best thing about the show is that the animation is above average, sometimes.

well as long as you can elaborate on why it deserves a 1 with some valid explanations then your anime taste is fine.

Completely unbelievable child intelligence = -2
Pitifully obvious culprit = -2
The sheer disappointment when literally everybody guessed correctly about the culprit = -7
Displaying outside of everyone's favorite 16:9 aspect ratio = -1
Above decent OP = +2
Portions where he's an adult are kinda good = +5
Pedophilia = -10
No real threat in entire story as time travel conveniently saves the day every time = -5

Add it all up and ignore the numbers and it becomes clear it deserves no higher than 4.

Pitifully obvious culprit and you guess it right, is there any difference of it? They're literally the same and is why I was instantly know that this show failed as a mystery since episode 4-5. Why do you separate it into different parts? Lol

And why there's so much minuses on pedophilia? It's not like the cadt are extremely pedophile at all, also this traits does exist on some deranged peeps irl, nothing wrong with that to give such a big minus to this show. Aspect ratio is never been a problem for me. And as for the music, I like the ED more, I'm more into that kind of music.

I hate it when someone says "You liked/disliked ___________, you must have good/shit taste." What someone likes, someone else doesn't. Simple as that. But some people insist that their taste is better. I guess it's some kind of a need to feel superior to random people on the Internet.

Well I don't even laugh at watching Big Order (I'm more of laughing when writing my 10 rating review on it), while on Mayoiga I indeed had some laugh but there's some scene that should've been a serious scene but showed it in a ridiculuous manner like Lovepon wet transparent shit when she was going to attack Mistumune.

As for ERASED, I think that Kayo is actually the best character, some people nay say she was bland but for me, she's more of a terrified and a bit cynical child from the cause of bullying. Her mother is good too. Satoru and his classmate that bully Kayo is the worst character IMO, and Gaku is somewhat average/Below average for me. And yep Yuki Kajiura=instant plus for me, I liked all of her stuff tho.
As for the ending, people often complaint about the timeskip but not for me, I'm perfectly fine with it, I was more bothered with why didn't Satoru just slipped below the seatbelt and escaped from the window instead of trying hard to unlock the seatbelt, he is child with adult mind afterall. And I always cant say no to not enjoying a scenery like this one


But okay, you have elaborated it so that's fine.

This isn't really about good or shit taste but there are definitely things that lower my opinion of someone. I'm not a fan of people who hand out 1-3 scores for every show they can't get along with. Basically people who quickly jump to hatred when they can't love an anime. This thread is full of them too.

I'll rarely judge someone for giving a show a high rating even when I disagree as long as they aren't assholes about it. But it does trigger me to regularly see people bash and hate shows out of nowhere that I found to be at least decent or even great when I pretty much agree with the assessment of some of their flaws but just don't see it making the show a 1 or 2 or even close to it. So many people seem to be outright happy when they find a show they don't like that they can bash and rate 1/10, they lose all sight of the things a show manages to do right and focus solely on the bad things to create a very one-sided opinion that is tailored to have the most negative opinion on the show possible, making it kinda useless imo. So I can't take them very seriously usually. I'll pay more attention to what someone who gives a decent or great show a 4 or 5 has to say about it than someone who gives it a 1 or 2 when it comes to figuring out the actual.

I also can't stand it when people think listing what they perceive as flaws is all that matters when elaborating on an anime and its score. I could list a million flaws for every show if I really put my mind to it, but why? I love the shows I love so much not because it's impossible to construct flaws when analyzing them with that single goal in mind. No show is immune to that. I love them so much because the vast majority of 'flaws' don't matter to me in the context of that show. They are either unimportant to the main goal of the scene or episode, a general matter of perspective, a necessary evil or just not relevant enough to overshadow all the great stuff in that show. So when someone tries to convince me my rating of the show should be lower it does literally nothing to me when they just list a bunch of flaws without explaining why they think I should care about them more than about the greatness of that show.

To sum it up, instead of caring about good or bad taste I care more about having a good or a bad understanding of the concept of taste and how it works to discuss yours with others. Sadly most people have rather misguided takes on how to define, defend and criticize taste so it's an uphill battle.

Your content is always great, clearly your post count is full of useful posts to read, however for the sake of the kids and close minded members of MAL i suggest that you summarize it in a lesser text, Thanks for your post and I fully agree with you.

On Topic:
Taste is subjective, everyone defines it however they want, I recommend that you leave this circle of close minded people that its called "Good or Bad taste" its like black and white judgement its really stupid.

I would like to say that I acknowledge that there are shows made better than other shows, but liking a better show doesn't necessarily mean you have good taste and vice versa.

If someone gave Fairy Tail or another anime that I consider complete trash more than 6, their taste is shit.

However, someone giving low score to one of my favorites is okay, it's just different preferences (or they're idiots).

If they have Inferno Coppu or Boku no Pico, I know their taste is amazing. If they have overrated trash like Gintama or LoGH in their favs, they got some awful taste.

On a more serious note, people who have great taste are those who can properly explain why they like something. I don't expect some kind of 3 page essay on why X anime is their favorite, but I do expect something more than "I just like it", because that sounds like a lazy answer and as if you have no clue what it is that makes you like X anime over Y anime.

Unfortunately there is no one person who has god-like taste to compare people to so I just go through their list and see if they've ratings are something I can possibly agree with or not. If someone gives Non Non Biyori a 2 and Lucky Star a 9 then they obviously don't know what good anime is. If someone gave TTGL a 10 and Yama no Susume 2 a 6 then they obviously just have different taste than me, which isn't exactly a bad thing (can't really give or receive recommendations, though).

Shit taste for me is just 'a different taste' than mine that has been taken into the furthest deteriorated length of defenition by people. Everybody can like whatever anime they want no matter how small and trivial the reason is for them to do that, as long as they know and aware of it.

Although, saying 'it is good' would not sufficient or satisfying enough to justify that for some people, but I don't think that having a passage of elaborated, verbose explanation of philosopical, psychological social impact and whatnot is a must here and surely we cannot just say they do not legitimately like one show; demote them to having a shit taste solely because of that.

Some people simply just cannot easily formulate that/those reason(s) into elaborated words, for perhaps they just do not have enough experience in that or not having enough thought exercise to do in-depth analyzing.

Shit taste is predictable, narrow-minded, and complains about other peoples' favorite anime, good taste likes everything in general but comes with standards as to what stands out and what falls short, and respects peoples' favorite anime.

I don't know, I wouldn't really consider anyone to have bad taste as long as they can explain why they like whatever taste they have with valid points. Like for example, if someone has a taste that I don't like, and they can poorly explain the reason why they have that taste, then I guess I'll consider them having bad taste.

What anime they drop, what they hype, what are their highest and lowest scores, and how they rate their anime. Everyone has difference preferences or watches anime solely for entertainment, but when someone only watches mainstream like Naruto, but won't watch an anime like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Hunter x Hunter (2011) etc. in the same Genre, it makes you wonder.

And everyone is going to be subjective about it anyway, so "taste" is a bad concept. Even well known Movie/Food critics have been known to be wrong/biased and sometimes can't be subjective. The only true way to gauge bad taste from good taste is for people who have a fetish for liking bad anime, like those who watch B-movies any chance they can. Or to be on the same page and deviate from there.

That's because those people doesn't know how to make a criteria.


So should we go by "Whoever doesn't have consistent criteria" has no right to judge anyone else's taste. Which would mean that a lot of reviewers/critics are thereby void until they can get themselves composed and be professional about it.

At the end of the day, we all have shit tastes because we aren't making our own anime or improving past work. So pretty even ground.

No. Reviewers/critics have their own criteria on judging even it's different to each other. I'm talking about people who just judge something without a clear criteria.

You mean you can't criticize something just because you didn't make it? I'm sorry but that's wrong.



Yes and No. It depends on the type/intent of the critic. Some people actually criticize things and proven excellent examples of how said art could have been better. Others will de-constructed the show solely to point out its faults for their own agenda. Otherwise, you have a bunch of random people thinking they know better criticizing art solely because they can and have nothing better to do, compared to constructive criticism, which points out the faults, compares it to an art that did it right/did it better, and helps an audience gain good "taste". There are just not enough people from the above that are respectable enough to take seriously or into consideration, regardless of the art form. Simply put, if you do not have the insight/expertise to de-construct an anime, fill in the missing elements, and properly convey each of your points, you are nothing more than an outspoken fan digging a little deeper than the average fan and have no business trying to do criticism for the masses.

Same for me, Just add me to the No-Fucks-Given-About-Taste Club.

PS: Wait. I forgot to say that I can't tolerate anyone who gives a high ratings to the shows I dislike. I tortured myself to watch them and even after trying so hard, I was unable to find anything. I couldn't care about their likes, since everyone has different tastes. Especially SAO. A 6 is the max you could give it. If you give it a 8, there's something wrong with your head.

For example, if all the release anime next season will be just hentai and nothing else, you just ignore it even you are an anime fan too? If you are like that then, you don't care for the medium, and what's happening to it, in the first place which means you aren't a fan at all.


That would be when an intelligent fan or critic picks the best/worst hentai series from the season and criticizes it properly so we don't get anime done the same way. A lot of what you end up seeing, however, is a lot of nitpicking, unexplained acceptance, and apparent denial regarding anime criticism. I don't know if it's the Vocal Minority drowning out those who know what they are talking about or there is a justification to use owns own experiences to criticize. Which ever it is, we need more objective [even if biased] critics for anime who have a broad understanding of Japanese Culture and the mechanics of what is needed for a anime to be successful or work.

Shit taste is people who can't back up their opinions, can't explain why they like things.
