Hello I always read a couple of reviews before watching a series because it saves me a lot of time, because in some cases you have to watch a few episodes until the series take shape. But lately I have seen two series that I totally disliked and were completely the opposite as the reviews and have decent scores (7.8 approx): Amagi brilliant park and Mahouka Reitusei.
To prevent this from happening to other people the reviews should be more objective and that can be achieved by having a team of people who review the series and put a objective score. And to keep fans happy there could be a fanscore
Also it would be nice that reviewers where adult people with some knowledge of anime and manga

Anyone should be allowed to review, because we all have different opinions, and different opinions is what makes reviewing and discussing something fun.

Reading Reviews = Major Spoiler Alert!
That's why some people rate it low because of that terrible writing.

Aren't reviews based on the person's opinion & how they felt about what they watched? Just because someone feels a certain way about something; whether it be good or bad, doesn't mean you will. Also you don't have to be "adult people with some knowledge of anime and manga" to express your views.

@megamachine You know objectively that two anime are good.
Amagi Brilliant Park is good without question, if you don't like this genree why you watch it?
Mahouka Kouko no Rettousei is good too, but you need a kind of taste to like it, many people like it because of the MC.

It's obvious, he/she don't want to take the responsibility for his/her actions. But still he/she made a suggestion and I don't think anyone would give half-assed answer just because of that.

So just because YOU disliked them and the reviewers like them, makes the reviews unfair?

Why is it, when someone gets called out on something, they want to bring up the 'English is not my first language' excuse like it's relevant? Your post was pretty straight forward. You read reviews before you watched a series. Reviews that are people's opinions, not facts. these reviews praised the show in question. So you decided to give the show a shot, based on someone's opinion. You didn't like the show and now want to say the review was unfair just because you didn't like the show?

The most asinine thing I've ever heard.


The problem you have is you judge a series based soley on people's OPINIONS, then have your hopes up expecting a great show then are sorely disappointed. This is exactly why I don't read reviews before watching a show.

Anikore has more or less the same system as Rotten Tomatoes with two separate ratings on site; one for critic reviews and one for user scores. So yeah it's definitely doable, but probably something which should be implemented into an anime site from the very beginning rather than this late in the game

Thank, yours was the first sensible reply.
Not professional critics, but they can have someone that reads the reviews before they are posted in the page for avoiding super fan critics (or super hate). The problem is that some characters or settings may be liked by teenagers but hated by adults, so it would be nice to post the age of the reviewer also

Maturity isn't necessarily correlated with age

Also this is an anonymous internet forum. Demanding people to publically state their age is probably not a good thing (and you could just say whatever anyway, not like there's anyway for anyone else to confirm it)

It's the same as with Boku no Piko - everyone who makes positive reviews for it is basically just trolling - we all understand that they can't be serious. Same story here, so they must be reported and removed

Maturity comes with experience. Age does play a role but not as much.

Find a reviewer who has a similar taste to you but in the end, you'll always come across shows others liked but you probably won't. There's no such thing as an objective opinion.

That maturity commentary was that if they put their ages in the reviews i would read those of the people around my age, cause probably would dislike the same things
