| Exactly as the title suggests. Do you go by the number of shows someone completes? How long they have been watching anime? Their taste? |
  |
| I think it depends on the individual. Like if the individual themself is respectful then I’ll respect the opinion of that individual. But if the individual is a dick about their opinions I’m much less likely to respect it. |
| You can have seen one anime in your life and still have a respectable opinion about it. Just as long as their points aren’t random nonsensical ideas their opinion can be respectable. |
 |
| as long as you aren’t a dick I think anyone can have a respectable opinion, but if a person is just toxic as shit it’s hard for me to take what they are saying seriously |
 |
| when it comes to opinions it's all about how you word it mon |
 |
| I guess if someone acted on their opinion and I could respect them for it then I'd consider it a respectable opinion., can't say I've given much thought though |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Like others said how you say things matters most of the time. But I can't help but look at the profiles and take everything into account when I see something dubious. I can't recall how many times what the person said didn't check out at all with what was on their lists and favorites. lol |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| I once visited the profile of some clown and their profile said something along the lines of "My taste is trash, so is yours." That is like the most cringe statement anyone could say on this website. Anyone being so obsessed with taste in general is just a dork really and doesn't have an opinion worth sharing. |

| taste depends on the individual and what they perceive as taste. |
| Having a respectable opinion has nothing to do about how much and what you've watched but instead how well you can construct your opinion and what your opinion is based on. edit: Plus how they act on their opinion or about other people's opinions |
 |
| Step 1: Know the difference between actual criticism and just shitting on something Step 2: Step 3: Profit |
| Only people who agree with my taste have a respectable taste, everyone else is a stinky poopy head >:( |
 |
| The more anime you've watched and the broader is the range of genres of those anime, the better you understand your own taste (and thus the more I'll trust your opinion, even if our taste are extremely different). |
| I never judge an opinion based on the number of shows they complete. I respect all kinds of opinions, except if 1) They start to judge other's opinions by the number of shows 2) They start to go off topic trash talking someone's favorite which is completely unrelated to the original argument. I only respect those opinions if they also respect mine.

 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| People with anime profile pictures don't have respectable opinions. |
| By MAL standards? Making sense and not sounding like a drunken baboon trying to sound funny is enough for me. The situations seems to have improved but a while ago there were way too many polific reviewers more interested in appearing to be funny or witty than providing us interesting takes about the show. |

| "It doesn't matter how trash the opinion is, if people agree with it, it is respectable." ~ Eren Yeager, maybe Honestly, I'd respect someones opinion (who has seen a good amount of anime) if they put good points behind it. (preferably as objective as possible) Even if it's about hating on Attack on Titan, if they can back up their claims with solid, factual arguments, I would respect their opinion (then again, I haven't met a single person who's been able to do that. All of them are just haters and idiots. They just hate on it because they dislike it, which isn't a respectable opinion) EDIT: this is why I respect the boys from Trash Taste, they all have different opinions and some of the most wildest takes, but they actually explain why it is with actual arguments, which is why it's respectable.  |

| knowledge and wording. and I don't mean manners. shows completed and time plays a role imo but it doesn't equal with knowing your stuff. I accept anyone's taste, even if I question it. bonus points if you've tried anime outside your comfort zone. things I will never accept however: not caring about visuals in visual media. why watch it at all? go read a book instead, I guarantee you that you'll have a better time. saying anime is trash as a whole. esp if you spent a lot of time watching. it's just projecting your insecurity . |

This I agree with. Which is why I say to most, "If you haven't seen more than 100 different anime series (not individual seasons) your opinion is invalid to me." Yes, it seems like I'm saying "I'm too good for you, PEASANT!" and it does seem harsh, but it is true. It's like a President taking advice from a child that read a children's book about Abraham Lincoln in 2nd grade on how to run a country. Would he respect the child's opinions? No. He wouldn't even consider them. Because the kid lacks experience and knowledge on what really happens in the world. Which is exactly like that on MAL. It's just the harsh truth. |

| If the person presents valid sensible arguments in their opinion without being an asshole about it then its respectable for me. |
 |
| A well-substantiated argument, plenty of knowledge on the subject, cultural awareness etc. |
| You have to be acknowledged by me. As an example, you can watch 1000 animes but if you still have Shingeki no Kyojin or any of my 1 score anime highly regarded then your opinion is probably invalid because you are unable to reflect upon the content presented and biased towards edgy intellectual dishonest messagery |
| I try to take everyone's opinion seriously and respectfully, unless they start writing something very different from a general perception just to sound cool and not giving any valid justifications of why they think so. |

Dragevard said: Exactly as the title suggests. Do you go by the number of shows someone completes? No. Dragevard said: How long they have been watching anime? No. Dragevard said: Their taste? No. You see, someone’s opinion generally speaking, would be taken into consideration whether the opinion makes sense or not. The respect matter isn’t important. For example: One can make the argument that Yosuga no Sora is a compelling anime. Or Ghost Buster (2016) is a good movie. Or Trump is the best President America ever had. It’s just who has the words, the critical terms to convince you that something is something, and of course he/she has to know better than any other in such realm. |

| Well yeah but the number of shows they watched come 2nd imo. It's all about how respectful they expressed them. That's the most important.

| I saw guy on this site who write at the bottom of his posts and threads "I'm a person of GREAT TASTE. If your pick isn't on here then it just means it's trash." From that moment I didn't respect his opinion. |

| You need to agree with my opinion to have a respectable opinion. |

Dragevard said: None of those, actually.ForumWhat does it take to have "respectable opinion"? Exactly as the title suggests. Do you go by the number of shows someone completes? How long they have been watching anime? Their taste? It's usually something like the following: 1. Does the person state their opinion in a level-headed, amiable way? Or are they gratuitously judgemental, insulting, etc.? 2. Is their opinion based on facts, is it limited in scope to their personal judgement and/or the bases upon which their argument lies, and do their conclusions logically follow from their bases? On the other hand, do they misrepresent anything, draw conclusions too sweeping, etc.? |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Broad knowledge on similar subjects is the #1 factor, I couldn't care less if they come across as aggressive in their opinion, imagine crying or getting offended over something like that. |
| Just watch u anime. Basic communication skills that doesnt sound like mocking. But I highly doubt this is a good place for respectable opinion. Taking with ur friends irl people usually have have a much more respectable tone than on internet. Also people expecting for valid explanation for others opinion are naive. There is cannot be a validation of a explanation which contradict ur opinion. It all about having a mindset to agree to disagree rather than expecting validity which will satisfy u. Thats what being respectable means |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| the only respectable opinion is mine. the rest of you are all plebs who are not fit to lick my shoe |
| To have an opinion that isn't disrespectful for other people's opinion...because then it will be an opinion worthy of respect, especially if it's backed up by one or more arguments... |
 |
| It takes a gentlemen's talk to be respectable, but it's much easier to agree with the disagreement. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| whether i respect them or not isnt rlly based on their anime taste, but I would prolly be less enthusiastic talking to them if they like shit like SAO and Mirai Nikki and Akame Ga kill and redo of healer, cuz that's just the opposite of my taste :I |

| The more shows one watches, the better. But just don't be a condescending prick and I'll respect you no matter what you watched. I could talk a lot with folks who just watched AoT or something as long as they're cool |
 |
| Your opinion is respectable when you can respect others opinions. What anime you enjoy or define as masterpieces doesn't matter in my eyes if you can justify why they're up there. |
| yo |
| I feel like having a popular opinion would make it hated by many, So I guess bringing up fair points and saying "you're not wrong to like this series" is a way to make your opinion respectable at least. Just try to picture yourself in the person who has the opposite opinion's shoes |
| theres not such thing as a respectable opinion, just people you share a high affinity percentage. |
| :v |
| 1.They must not be a dick 2. If they say overrated or underrated they should not simply leave it at that and explain why. 3. If they shit on a long anime but have only seen one or three episodes, respect - 1000 |
