I was just coming here to ask if there was a good way to identify who has good taste and who doesn't. Is there a certain criteria to follow when judging ones taste and what makes them a scumbag elitist or filthy casual?

If the name is Trazilibo, his taste is good. If not it can be mediocre or shitty.

if they have the following anime in favorite or rated very high, they have good taste:

- Legend of the Galactic Heroes
- Cowboy Bebop
- Texhnolyze
- Neon Genesis Evangelion

they can explain their taste, they are good no matter what taste they have.

Variety in their favorites. Appreciating good anime in more than just one or two forms.
I probably regret this post by now.

There's no good nor bad taste. It's all subjective. If you like what they like, you'll consider it as good taste. If you don't - bad taste.

If someone's literary style pleases you, you'll probably like what they like.

These.

Good taste is no more real than bad taste. In other words, not at all.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Let's face it, everybody that responds to this thread is going to say that their favorite Anime is "Good Taste."

Listen OP, as you watch Anime over the years, you're going to see Anime that someone else loves that you may hate, and the other way around.

Don't let others decide your tastes for you. That's your job. Everybody has different tastes. It's the cycle of life.

Having good taste is being able to thoroughly explain and defend your own opinions. Taste has nothing to do with what shows you like as long as you can do that much.


Having bad taste is:

-Hating NGE because the MC is a "pussy."

-Dropping Shinsekai Yori on episode 8.

-Having LotGH and/or Tex in your faves for being mature, without being able to explain what makes them "mature."

-Hating Aku no Hana or Ping Pong because of its art.

-Immediately calling something pretentious bacause you don't understand it.

-Calling something philosophical and deep when you yourself don't understand it.

-Not using the full rating scale.

-Limiting your taste to one genre.

-Liking/disliking an anime just because others do (aka being a blind sheep).

-Critically judging Kill la Kill and One Punch Man on "literary merits" while completely missing the point.

-Hating a show because of its fanbase.

-Refusing to admit the flaws of a show.

-Hating a show because of its popularity.


So basically, bad taste is liking/disliking a show for shallow reasons, and not being able to fully evaluate your opinions.

A mean score lower than 10 means you've got shit taste.
A true anime fan rates everything a 10.

Good taste in anime definitely exists, it's just that only a few chosen ones are able to achieve this status.

I don't see why I couldn't?
In fact, I took a quick glance at the statistics and I came to the conclusion that 35 wonderful people have already rated this a 10.
These 35 are still in the running.

As I've said before ; only a few people are true anime fans.

I will pretty much anything that's cute. This includes slice of life shounen and seinen, magical girl anime, and some josei. Battle harems like SAO and Date a Live are also usually pretty cute. I haven't seen any battle shounen and all of the romance shoujo I've seen I haven't liked that much. I'm sure a lot of people would consider this type of taste shit, but I don't really care because I enjoy it. An obvious exception to this rule is Glasslip which is cute but extremely boring.

I'm pretty sure the guy is just saying that taste is subjective, being able to explain your opinions gives it more value/meaning, same thing applied to your taste, you'd be surprised at the number of people who are blind to their true tastes. And well I didn't say that quote was the answer to everything, it's a a small idea to think about.

if you try to explain why your taste is supperior, your explanation is fail by default because you fail understand the concept of taste. if i said my taste is supperior because i eat rice, than your taste is fail by it self. but if you said rice is tasteful because it's not too sweet, has better texture, ETC. then your taste is good.

hating someone just because their anime taste is like hating someone just because prefer bread rather than rice. it's look fucking stupid. thou i would admid you has bad taste if use instan noodle as your prime food because it's not healthy.

People talk about having good taste. Taste doesn't matter. I didn't like hunter x hunter or Attack on Titan. I'm not gonna have my taste called shitty because I don't like some of the mainstream anime that people refer to as the best. No such things as good taste and bad taste, just a taste for whats popular. (which doesn't even matter.)

I did. And I watched it too. Our reactions matched quite perfectly.

Being a fan of something doesn't mean you need to like and love everything you see of it blindly. That would be called obsession or stupidity.
