It was legit, I covered the story, art, character, sound, enjoyment, avoided spoilers or references to other anime and reviews or people but just because it expressed a bad opinion some bias piece of shit goes out of their way to delete it. I want an apology right now >:( and my review to be restored, of course.

Lucky Star I gave it a 1. That must have not sat well with Kineta so she proceeded to delete it.

I admit I used colorful language, but I used it in moderation to express my strong feelings.

good idea SY
I'm just guessing it was kineta since she's a database mod which I imagine is in control of this kind of stuff.

I see. LS fans must have flamed or complained. The language isn't what they care about.

It was the one you gave.

Post your review here so we can judge it and perhaps relate to your outrage.

Good idea, but it's deleted. And I did not save it. It's gone without a trace, not even so much as a reason for deletion.

Are you sure it was deleted? Maybe it was a bug. This is MAL after all.

its weird that it got removed. as long as you werent really using profane language or insulting other people then there shouldnt have been a problem.

but it would be nice if you could at least give us a snipit of at least what your review was like, because its hard to judge form just your word alone. for all we know, you could be lying and actually ripped into ls with profane language and now you are just bitching because it got removed. im not saying your a liar or what your saying isnt true, but it is plausible.

oh and honestly, dont be a little kid about this. threatening to go and get all the reviews that gave ls a 10 is just stamping your feet and whining. suck it up and lets find a solution.

Woah chill man, a nun didn't write this review. I did use some profanities and obscene references (cloaking them as metaphors of course). But this site is pg 13 and everything I said complied with that, I used the profanities to show how strongly I felt on the subject. And from what I hear this isn't the first of reviews that gave ls a one suddenly disappearing.

Shame. I'd like to read what you wrote about (un)Lucky Star since I did give it a high score and I find it entertaining to read people's detailed contrary opinion. It gives a new perspective on a show for me.

Anyway, do another. I'm curious now.

I think I dropped the F bomb in one or two of my reviews and they weren't deleted, so I doubt profanities are the case. (I won't say which reviews, because if that's what they're deleting stuff for, I'll be amused to know that someone has to read through 200+ reviews to find it.)

I wonder why thinking about these kinds of things seem to give me amusement...

Write another? For what purpose?! So that Kineta can delete it again?

Anyway I explained a couple things about the series in my review such as;
why konata is a mary sue as well as why she was an "impossible character"
the two parts to a joke and then compared it to a failed example of humor from lucky star
I talked about the cliche archetypes.
What I thought about the "soundtrack"
Repressed memories and lucky star
analogue to fools gold and lucky star
lack of story (I said the story was an enactment of a plot to make me kill myself, and then wrote the actually story or lack there of)
I criticized the art and character design as well as the choice of 'actors'
I spoke how 'untappable' everyone in the series was. And how Konata had to be one of the most vile unaesthetically pleasing character in the entirety of anime.
then I ended with how lucky star was permeating through every facet of the animu industry and how it is a 'boner killer'.
and then I loaded it up with profanity, I think I dropped the f bomb three times. Which if it really bothered someone, they could have pmed me to change it to another word like fudge or some other childish crap like that.

I only remember the first paragraph which is as follows:
Japan has made several treacherous things in the past (Superman 64, Panty vending machines, subway rape) but when it comes to the worst thing ever to be spewed out of the asshole of Japan, Lucky Star takes the cake, and then talks about how to eat it for an entire episode.

Since you compared Lucky Star to subway rape, I can see why your review was deleted (if that was indeed the case). If you can't express your opinions without comparing stuff to rape, you shouldn't be writing reviews.

I also noticed you accused the creator of Ookami Kakushi of possibly being into "furry sex"?, which would be another example of not so swell review behavior.

And no, using fuck in a review or anywhere else on the site is not prohibited. Insults and personal attacks on the other hand...

P.S. Superman 64 is French, not Japanese.

Oh so the factual error that S 64 came from France and not Japan was grounds for deletion, makes sense.

All I did was throw some flavor and personal writing spices into my review soup. Even without those the review would have still been legit, albeit boring and having nothing to distinguish it from the 80 other reviews on the same anime.

And I wouldn't go so far as to call it a troll review. I did address some points, and I did not insult the fans.

"Flavour and personal writing spices" led to an extremely tasteless, troll-like review, of which I believe you are quite aware. Sure, there was a small bit of review material amid all the other nonsense and I could have edited it to trim it down to just the review parts, but quite frankly I figured you wrote it for shits and giggles and opted to remove it.

For future reference, "reviews" of that nature are more suitable as a blog entry.

PS. I don't care whether you gave Lucky Star a 1 or a 10 or a 5. If you'll note, I've never seen the series myself so it's hard to be a "biased piece of shit".

I don't see anything wrong with calling the series anal train rape or whatever he called it. At least it's a lot more creative than "this series is good because it is nice because it is good" I see flying about. The fact that it is a metaphor makes his writing at least 3% better than most of the reviews that I see passing through here.

Oh well.

Thanks for the support ^^

Anyway is it possible that you can send me my discarded review to put it up on my blog or something? Or is that asking too much?

I'm sorry, but once it's deleted, it's deleted. I don't save every review that I remove. Theoretically, you should be sent your review along with the reason why it was removed at the time of removal... however, those messages are not currently working :(

Things do happen. If you want to always have a copy of something you put on the internet, you should keep a copy of it on your computer, too.

This I have to agree with. Kineta's been kind to send me copies of my reviews that were deleted, but I always save them myself just in case when a few of the pages for reviews I wrote were missing.

Next time, just save what you wrote in Notepad if so much. It doesn't take long, and it's always nice to have a backup of it.

Damn, now I'll write an even better and more imaginative one

Edit:

Don't worry about it.

Someone liked the review so much they saved, it and posted it on my profile.
All is good.

OH YEAH
