| HY I found MAL as a website where I can see other peoples opinions on animes through reviews.. But the problem is that the majority of people write the reviews on the shows they have dropped just to hate on the show.. I found a review on FMAB by a person who dropped it on 2 episode stating that it is the most generic a show can get.. I didn't watch it because I didn't wanted to waste my time (64 episodes) But after a month or so I watched and found it amazing.. Why to write a review to just hate if you dropped it.. Some people make a separate acct. just hate on a show (ditf).. These are just my thoughts Am I correct ?? |
| It's very simple, don't decide to watch a show simply based on its reviews. If the premise of a series piques your interest, that's all that really matters. Everybody has differing opinions, only way to find out if you like something or not is if you try it out for yourself. |

| Hating a show is also an opinion but in that specific case most likely not a very sound one. I feel you want to base your decision whether or not to watch a show on people's reviews you need to evaluate if the person who wrote the review has actual examples and stuff like that for its arguments. |

Thats why I relay on reviews.. Well reviews are unreliable, I never look at them. I read the description of an anime and decide to watch it if it sounds interesting. The reason being is that since reviews are opinions, you could watch an anime and love it while the reviews hate it. You will miss out on a lot of good stuff in life if you just listen to other people. |

| Honestly why don't you watch the first 3 episodes or so, see if you like it, and continue/drop it depending on how you feel about it. You don't have to read a single review. There are others out there as well. |

I mean the reviews are there to show what the community thinks about the anime and help people decide whether or not to pick up a show. And if a show was bad enough that you decided to stop it don't you think it would be helpful to tell others why it was so bad so they don't waste their time with the show ? But I am only talking about negative reviews and not a page filled with insults and attacks on the fans of the show because I don't consider those to be actual reviews. Also you can't knew if the people wrote the reviews just to hate or if they had the intentions I described above. I think it's a little presumptuous of you to pretend that you knew the motives of the people who wrote these reviews. |

Reading reviews to help aid your decision is fine and all, but at the end of the day it's YOU who is watching the anime and you are an individual person who has the capacity to form different perspectives from other people. |

| lol I don't look to any user's reviews, you can just find anime that picks your interest without being swayed to people's shitty reviews, I wonder how someone can be so critic even though they don't know how hard and tedious it is to produce anime, just to entertain these so called "otakus." Otaku are the ones who should appreciate anime right??? |

| #1 anime on the webiste, top review rated a 10 with nearly 3000 people finding it helpful. and you went with the 2/10 review? |
Hell_Slayer said: There is nothing wrong with writing a review for a show that you hate or for a show that you didn't complete. Reviews are made by people for their views on the show. If they feel that it was bad then have the right to write a review which is focused on showing how bad the show is. You should not decide the quality of a show by reading someone elses review. As a lot of people have already said, watch it and then decide for yourself Some people make separate acct. just to do that !! I think it's really bad// |

| See the latest review now.. Exactly what I was talking about.. |
| I don't think the majority of reviews are written by people who've dropped the show. There's plenty of positive reviews for each show lol |

If you like, when you click on the reviews page for any anime on this site, there's a button you can unclick called preliminary Unclick it and it'll hide any reviews by people who haven't finished that show. Although, I looked through the first two pages of reviews and only one of them was unfinished (probably the same guy you saw), so you really had to go looking for the what you're talking about. Personally, I don't have any problem with pre-lim reviews, since I tend not to read reviews anyway. Even then, a review is just that: a review. They can be good or bad and it doesn't matter whether or not you've finished it, in my opinion. I've dropped plenty of shows in my time, just because I don't want to have to wait for it to get good. Still, hope I was able to help with the pre-lim button |

| It doesn't matter if you like the anime that they dislike. Everyone have their own opinion. |
| Skim the reviews and find ones that are actually well written. I’m guessing whoever wrote that 2/10 review didn’t actually explain why the show was boring. Most reviews aren’t great, but usually some of the top reviews are decent, and can give you an idea of what the show is like. |
| It doesn't matter where you really are, it's just weebs being weebs, moreover internet |
| Instead of reading reviews, you have to find friends/persons with similar taste and ask them to share their feelings about a show... It's definitely better |
| People are free to say whatever they think about a certain anime. Either they complete it or not doesn't matter. I find those who insult reviewer or tell those reviewer do delete their review on the reviewer page more of a problem. But sure, people are free to say whatever they want about the review made by the reviewer. In the end, it's the reader who decides to believe in the review or not. I personally don't care that much about such a thing. Just write this to kill time. |

People on here always make a big deal out of completely nothing. They constantly complain about the ratings, fans, reviews and whatnot. The problem is that people are not familiar with subjectivity. Accept the fact that everyone has their own opinion and tastes and you'll be fine. |

| People actually read reviews here? Kek. I just look at the cover and read a few synopsis lines to choose what I want to watch. |
 |
| There's no problem with that. The person only wanted to give out his opinions about an anime. Everyone has a different taste. |
 |
| Basically everyone has already said this by now, but you cant base your opinions on what others say. There will always be lovers and haters of every series. No single show will appeal to absolutely everyone, its just not possible. People are allowed to dislike something if they dislike it (shocking I know), and if they thought it was so bad that they couldn't even finish it, then wanting to tell people that isnt such a bad thing. People will have different opinions. My advice to you is to form your own ones. Only you should know if an anime interests you from the description. Sure not every anime is going to live up to your expectations, but you know what, thats ok too. Not every anime you watch is going to be a masterpiece, but among all the ones you didn't like, you'll find those few that are truly special to you. Don't go by someone elses opinions, find shows that you want to watch because you want to watch them. |
| You shouldn't decide to watch a show based on reviews, because most of them are just haters to try to get attention. How can people rate an anime if it is good or not with only 2 episodes. Is just too dumb. |
 |
| why would you ever read a review other than first 4 xd |
 |
| So what was the problem again ? I don't get it. |

| No , you're not , you're not using MAL as you should. Yes , MAL can be useful but you shouldn't rely so much on others' opinions , it's OK to read a review but sadly most of the time , you'll find people giving a show a 6 or a 7 just because "production is not as good as it should be" or some bullshit like that , I mean , wtf does that even mean? , people often forget to enjoy , they watch to judge , you shouldn't watch anime to write a review on a website unless you get paid... But , I mean , they can write whatever they want to , they're free to do it , it was your fault to believe in their words , not theirs and MAL even shows how many people have found a review helpful... Anyway , read reviews if you like , but take them with a pinch of salt , don't blindly believe in them , use them to give yourself an idea of what the show is like . Personally I think it's a waste of time , I just look at other people's list or check MAL's top and when I find something interesting (its plot , its promotional poster , its character design , etc) I watch the first two episodes , If I don't like it , I drop it . |
| You should ignore reviews, it's a waste of time. I've never read any review in my entire life and I got no problem finding good anime to watch, just check the genres and you will find what you're looking for. You gotta know that your opinion is the most important one, others can say whatever they want. |

It's content of the review you should pay attention to. A review can be helpful even tho it's full of hate for the show. It all boils down to the fact that you've read a shitty review and I'm honestly amazed that you gave it more credibility than all the other factors,including top reviews. Don't make other people responsible for your illogical decision. Sry if I sound a bit too harsh. |
