Seriously. Nothing makes me shake my head more than "too edgy" being thrown as a criticism just because a show gets a little too gritty than what may align with the viewer's pillow soft sensibilities.

I can accept criticism because everybody has different opinion. I even agree that some Slice of Life anime would be better with more story progression, for example Ayano and Kyoko becoming a real couple in Yuru Yuri.

When they start comparing old anime with the new anime in question, whcih is only made to shit on the newer anime.

See Darling in the Franxx with Evangelion and Gurren Lagann. I haven't seen comparisons of Comic Girls with Sore ga Seiyuu, or Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san with Gabriel Dropout. Hypocrisy at its very best.

"Cute girls doing cute things with yuri bait"

What do you expect from an almost all-female cast? Maybe it's the influence of Yuru Yuri in modern CGDCT, but it's tiring to see most of the reviews of these animes always criticizing for having yuri bait.

Slice of life does better with progression.
Having 1 to zero story in slice of life basically depending too much on the settings and perhaps comedy therefore it may stale after a while.

Like my friend critiques towards me
"Why do you want progress in a slice of life".
Well, if story gets too uninteresting it stalled out.

Put Nisekoi for example, it was a slice of life romcom but the formulas get so repetitive despite itself having a story and proceed using those formula for shitload of fillers that add very low value to the point it became too much of a nuisance for a slice of life due being stale i mentioned.

Yeah that is the one I'll never be able to get or respect. Or in general, anything that calls anime that look different from the standard 'ugly', basically hating any kind of variety in styles when that's one of the biggest appeals of animation - that everything doesn't have to look the same and there's a whole range of styles. But it's the worst when they combine it with the age 'argument' by implying that art is something that improves over time and can become 'outdated' so new = always better. It just shows such a complete lack of understanding of the timeless nature of art, it's baffling.
I probably regret this post by now.

The double standard that is believing that anime doesn't care about the Western fandom/culture, while at the same time trying to reaffirm your views of Western fandom/culture through anime and assuming that it caters to your own Western political spectrum, is one of the nicest samples of intellectual dishonesty out there.

I find this stuff at almost every anime: damn, the pacing is too fast, why didn't they make a 24 episode? And: the pacing is so slow, it would be better if this were only 12 episodes.
Wtf? There's nothing wrong with the pacing, they cut off your favorite useless scene and you lose your mind?

I'd probably want to spit in the face of people who try to impose some bastardized sense of morality onto a type of entertainment and use that to try to paint the people who consume it as dangerous individuals. It's a basic-ass fearmongering tactic and I have absolutely no respect for that.

Outside of that, I tend to dislike criticisms that are aimed specifically at asserting a show is bad because of what it is and little else. "This is an LN adaptation, this is an ecchi, this is old," et cetera. They tend to be dull and unproductive, not leaving much to discuss while asserting it as an objective fact that it's bad based on the parameters. It's always totally cool to dislike certain elements that define a type of series and then reaching the conclusion that you don't like a type of series based on those mechanisms, but it isn't really much of a criticism in my book, at least not in of itself, which is usually exactly what it is. Basically, saying that an ecchi series is bad or lazily/poorly done because it focuses and prioritizes sexual fanservice is fucking dumb and if you do that then you are fucking dumb.

Criticisms focusing too much on lambasting the series and the types of mechanisms it has for a perceived target audience. "Dis is Otaku-bait" type stuff, basically. "This is just there to take advantage of a drooling, idiotic audience and make as much money as possible," blah blah blah. It often comes off as incredibly condescending, on top of just not really fucking adding anything of value to a discussion or even as much as giving an actual interpretation of the quality of the show itself, just you perceive it as aiming towards a specific demographic and that's supposed to somehow be an issue in of itself. Totally worthless. I see Otaku-bait most regularly in reviews and such so I used it as my example here, but I tend to apply a negative response to any demographic-based criticism based on the same principle.

For a more specific one, I immensely dislike stuff like "-dere types are all the same and have no personality," because it usually comes off as them seeing a character who can fall into this brand of archetype and then reducing literally everything about the character down to the -dere type themselves and then blaming the show for it.

About criticism, the most annoying are:

*"BAD ANIMATION = BAD SHOW"
*"GOOD ANIMATION = GOOD SHOW"
*"I am deeply offended by this, so the show is bad".

"It didn't end the way I wanted it to end so therefore it's bad."

I think there's a difference between the ending of an anime just being plain bad and someone throwing a fit because it didn't end or go the way they wanted it to. I can get if a show just has a bad ending, but if someone suddenly starts raving it was bad because it didn't go the way they wanted it to then I think that's just dumb.

The old stuff argument is probably because it's not currently running and not on trend or at the "today", trend is cool. The dark stuff argument is probably because the general mass stereotype idea of dark being cool, so automatic response. Slice of life stuff is probably the people looking for plots hence the sentence. The Youtuber stuff is reliance logic. I think I remember someone said mecha's bad for how the logic of moving robots works. Friendship, harem and intellectual arguments are just rejection. Related stuff argument is someone asking for help? Normally just rejection.

That's what I'm assuming.

EDIT: How about I said an anime being fresh? Is that no good?

When people apply a same fixed way of rating things to everything, because in their twisted mind that's equivalent to being "fair". Like, rating a single 15 min OVA with 2/10 because there was not much depth and character development. Duh.
Or rating a comedy bad because it has no main plot. Guess what, not every show needs a storyline to follow to be good, especially comedies.

So, basically, people who don't get that different shows have different focuses and rating everything by the same schema doesn't make sense at all. If a show gives me exactly what I expected from it, why should I rate it bad.

"NGE is pretentious." I think most of this is attributed to the heavy use of symbolism in the final two episodes which was mostly due to an unexpected budget cut for the studio at the very last minute.

"DBZ is nothing but mindless fights." Sure, that describes a good deal of the series (much more so with Super) but it's still selling DBZ short imo. There's a bit of character development with some characters, especially for Vegeta. I don't think a basic story necessarily means a bad story either. Better than trying to tackle more complicated themes and failing to handle them right. I find it funny how I often see this kind of criticism coming from OP, HxH, Naruto or Bleach fans as if they're somehow a superior breed of shonentards.

It's a common belief that when a show shows cleavage, it's a bad show.

"The OP contained a lot of boobs so I know exactly what the whole show is going to be," paraphrasing of course but the whole "this show is predictable" is usually said by people who just make assumptions... I guess it's the type of person I don't understand. There are lots of clichés and patterns but you're "predicting" it's going to show a lot of cleavage because that's what the OP promises? Really? You must be a fucking oracle.

I rated this season's terribly animated incest show 7 because that was my level of enjoyment, but a lot of people couldn't get past how it looked. A lot of people also used how it looked to whip up momentum to call it garbage on all fronts, which I don't understand.

"If all the characters in an anime are not 100% developed, the anime sucks"

Why? A character being developed doesn't make them iconic, or even ejoyable. Subaru from Re: Zero is developed: I don't give a shit about him. Shouldn't an anime be judged by what is it focusing on?

For example, people hated Chaos; Child because the characters weren't developed, but the main selling point of that anime was the story, which was great.
