he knows what he is talking about most of the time and as far as analist of anime goes he is the best on youtube


nah he makes sweeping generalizations and there are a lot of flaws in his arguments. also, his reviews are terrible, unreadable, and full of unnecessary info.

of course he makes generalizations and puts unnencessary information like bashing the series in his reviews that is basically what his snob persona is all about
and it is not like there is a lots of flaws in his arguments it is just that in most of the times he does not explain what are the reasons for his arguments

Probably the most accurate answers would be something like Attack on Titan, Code Geass, Death Note, FMA:B, Steins;Gate, and HxH (2011). The ones with high ratings and a ton of viewers.

Of course, MAL forum snobs will pretend to hate the first 2 even though they really loved them, giving them the illusion of being hated.

People hate ThatAnimeSnob for being offensive and bashful, but if he was like everyone else and sugarcoated all of his words and never said anything in a condescending way he'd probably be a lot more respected in the community. 'tis a shame people won't listen.

If he was more fair with rating his anime and not just simply "it's shit because I hate it", he would be respected more as a critic.

Not sure about the best he did got destroyed by Digibro on one of his pod cast. Actually funny to this day he is still quite salty about it and reminds everyone how Digibro likes K On. but I say he is one of the entertaining ones if you keep in mind he is acting on his Snob persona. Most of the time he has good points despite sounding ignorant. I guess he is one of the few people that trash some of my favourite franchises (like the Fate series and Gintama) but still Im fine with it and laugh.

I haven't watched most of his reviews but I've seen those episodes where he quickly reviews shows from each season.

he sure was but it dos not change that digibro is a awful critical that likes to overthink small details for the series he likes like making a hour video on a show like k on and in every review he spends half of the time talking about visual presentation and not about the actual content of the show

Forget about his videos, they're often not adequate so you don't get the full picture.

Disregard sports anime then, although I'm sure he has reviewed a lot of them too since he has over 800 reviews. It's fine if you don't think he's credible because of that but I personally don't care that much since it's just a bias of his. I still think his reviews on anidb are worth reading before you think he's full of shit when he says "x sucks because y" since that's just the basics, not the only thing that makes him not like it, if that makes any sense.

Sugarcoated or not, there's still bad reasoning at the core of Snob's being. I heard him say about 10 easily deconstructed bullshit points in the one review of his that I bothered listening to. The dude clearly suffers from brain damage, probably sniffs glue every day, and definitely should not be listened to.

"So why is this show so famous anyway?
- It was directed by Shinbou, the guy who practically “is” SHAFT and whose earlier Bakemonogatary anime was a great success for fan catering the watchers from tip to toes. It was also written by Uroboshi, a guy famous for his really bloody endings.
- These two prepared the field for tens of thousands to love the show even before it airs and thus an easy way to drag along ten times more newbies to the hype machine. It doesn’t take much to be fooled into loving something just because many love it as well. If it’s popular, you want a piece of the action by being part of the hype. Ain’t popularity something?
- It also helped how most watchers have no idea of what good series are out there as they refuse to watch anything older than 5 years and thus are blind to the retro goodies. They will just say “It is better than Pokemon” because that is what most casual fans consider to be an average anime. For the same reason, people who grew up with anive OVAs from the 80’s or good cartoon series from the 90’s will simply look at this show and scratch their heads wondering where the hell are all those awesome stuff they say about it.
- With no prior knowledge of how the same formula was used before, the newbs were easily made to think it is an original and perfectly excecuted show. For example, most will start by saying that mahou shojo are boring and thus Madoka is great for deconstructing the genre in a way that makes it interesting. Well, guess what, it is not the first show that did that. But being blind to the older titles has that effect to the masses. "

Yes he likes to rant about "tasteless casuals with shit taste" that might not be fitting in a review, but it's his style and because everyone gets so ridiculously butthurt over this they refuse to overlook his "toxic" persona and realize that he isn't wrong all the time.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.
