I't looks like you don't use MAL a lot anymore but I just have to your review of Loveless was great! I know it was written a while ago but that series is the worst piece of crap I have ever laid my eyes on O__O And that's saying something... And I'm glad someone also thought that way... I couldn't watch past a few minutes either -.- I hardly ever comment on things like this but I just needed to say WELL DONE lol XD
I'm glad to see someone else who truly despises that worthless, overrated garbage called Dragon Ball. Nice review. Feel free to join my Anti Toriyama club if you like.
always great to meet a fellow Ranma fan .. and more power to you for speaking your mind, but you might want to get a few more series under your belt (and at least see the majority of their episodes) before passing yourself off as an authority on the subject. just a little friendly advise, and welcome to MAL :-)
In regards to your Dragonball review "I also am aware many people grew up with it, and that is one reason why so many like it." you pretty much hit the nail right on the head.
I love DBz for that reason alone, and I think it holds up as simple and stupid entertainment and nothing more, it's kinda like potato chips, a stale bag though.
As a big fan of DBZ, even I know that, objectively, the story doesn't even compare to other shonens of today, even to Naruto.
So props to you for at least trying DBZ a chance.
The completed number of episodes can be changed at the very top of your review submission. Unless altered, I believe they always revert to 'all episodes completed'. Hope that helps for future reviews!
While I understand a need to voice an opinion on something you've viewed, your lack of almost any background with the series shows up as ignorance in your review. Instead of covering relevant content from the show itself and exploring your dislike for the material, you've sold yourself short by simply surmising your abhorrence for paedophilia. Which, while completely understandable, has little to do with the show's content. You seem quite capable of making nuanced assessments of the shows you've watched. I'm sure that if you work with what you've seen specifically, you'll create even stronger content. As you said, it's good to be critical. :)
I'm afraid your review of Loveless has me slightly confused. You list that you've seen twelve episodes, yet refer to only watching five minutes of episode one before concluding your viewing. Which is your prerogative, just a tad on the baffling side - why not list one episode seen instead? Similarly your references to paedophilia seemed rather out of place when, if indeed you were to read an erotic subtext between the lead characters, the correct term would be paederasty (given that Ritsuka is an adolescent).
In addition, I'm afraid you might also have confused the meaning of the word "plot". Soubi "making moves on" Ritsuka hardly constitutes the plot of the series. Which isn't to say the actual plot of the series is great by any stretch of the imagination, but your degree of exaggeration in this regard is rather absurd and lends little to your argument.
I don't mean to be too harsh on you with your first review, but when you demand others "Get (their) facts straight" I'd venture it wouldn't hurt you to do the same.
