I don't know why, but I guess I'm never satisfied because all of my reviews on MAL have been rewritten at least once over; other times I'd be reviewing an anime and not post it because I'll think of something to add, then it ruins the flow a bit and I have to re-write.

Am I the only one that feels like they have to re-write their reviews? Because I do it... a lot.

Maybe I'm just trying too hard.

I definitely know where you're coming from. The more I like what I'm reviewing, the harder it is! When I really like something, I want to balance my excitement, and not spoil small things here and there that were enjoyable to discover. At the same time, a favorable review that doesn't spoil a little bit is not enjoyable to read, or comes across as over hyped.

I do this a lot also, mostly because my grammar and syntax is so moronic and incomprehensible the first few times.

Isn't it easier to just wait until you think the review is perfect?
Please kill yourself if you like Umineko in any way, shape or form!


Here is the script to the american live action remake of Death note. Read it and weep.

I think that's why I've written so few reviews so far ;)
