Probably that third review for run with the wind saying it had homo undertones and was just fujobait/manservice😭😭😭 also said Haikyuu, kurokos basket, wind up, was that too. I don’t understand when everyone started thinking sports anime were just gay. He obviously didn’t watch the show.

when that infamous review of Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu. Yeah this is just well politcal bias instead of objective review instead.

on this site, it would be a review of Perfect Blue and they gave it a 2/10 because it had bad directing. they were most likely trolling but it has stuck with me

Even if I disagree, if it's well written and they do a good job getting their opinions across, I don't mind it at all.
The reviews where it makes you question whether or not we've actually watched the same show are a completely different story though.

Reviews are based upon personal taste and opinions and we might disagree with those, but some of the reviews on Attack on Titan Final Season are laughable. "3/10 because it's dialogue heavy and boring.", "1/10 not a masterpiece anymore because the animation is atrocious."WiT good, MAPPA bad, 1/10".

Maybe I'm biased, but the 1/10 review on Beastars is full of very questionable nitpicks, especially the one where they say that the herbivores should just use guns to protect themselves from the carnivores.

Like, yeah, that's how we solve the problems with society! GUNS!

When the review is clearly very bias only pointing out the good things (or bad) and basically summarizing the whole show instead of spending the energy to explain why it's good.

'Can't remember if it was a review or a forum post but someone said FMA B was bad because the brothers central motivation of "getting the little brother his body back" was not believable because having a metal armour for a body is cool and practical.

I get that some people on here are quite young but if you can't even understand or relate to someone wanting to be themselves again and wanting to be able to feel, smell, taste or even eat and drink (you know, pretty common pleasures in life) then you're either full of shit or just have no emotional capacity. And I'm leaning towards the former.

I've seen some praise a show for being generic.

Isn't 5 or 6 the perfect place for those shows? The show isn't offensively bad in any way and it was a generally okay experience but it just isn't a show you'll ever consider rewatching or recommending to anyone. Fun and enjoyable is like the weakest praise you can give, it's what you say when you can't think of anything particularly praise worthy.
Why they review it is another question though.

That one stood out to me too. The fans of that show were just grasping for anything they could praise as artistic merit and coming to crazy incompatible conclusions about it.

Now that I look back on it, there's isn't much to talk about since it's already pretty short.

But the part that stood out of me as "wrong" was when they referred to Part 4 as "filler made for the money" which is just untrue, it is a main story arc just like any of the other parts, and it's relevant for one of the main characters' character arc.

There was this one review that was one the final season of Attack on Titan. Rated: 1/10

It was a guy who hated on everything, and I mean everything. He had the audacity to skip the second season entirely because he didn't feel like watching it and when he was finish with the 3rd season, he said the story didn't make any sense.

And after, he made as many MAL accounts to rate them all 1/10s
The amount of stupidity people have is fascinating

a review of angel beats that gave him 10: he said that what he liked were weapons because he was a COD player, after that I did not want to read more.

Have you read the first reviews of redo of healer, what the hell? Sometimes I wonder if these things can really be taken seriously here in MAL.

and also nagatoro reviews for a bad first impression.

The review for Sword of the Stranger that gave it a 2. I can respect someone not liking the story that’s just their taste but I object to the assertion that it had bad animation. I mean did we watch the same film?!?!

Some people don't appreciate the skill to draw sword fights more than having fullscreen flames and lights. It izz what it izz.

Definitely the top review for Mirai no Mirai, because the reviewer completely missed the magical realism aspect of the movie and thinks it is about a kid who doesn't get enough attention from his parents and so he starts hallucinating. Somehow he related this to eventual drug use. The only reason it's the top one is probably because it' by a popular reviewer.

Also some guy who said Mushishi was bad because it "didn't have enough world building, didn't explain things enough and was too slow" or some dumb stuff like that like it not having enough plot and the usual stuff from people who dislike slice of life anime but watch it anyway.

Frankly, reviews that completely miss the point of a show or movie but still go on to criticise it based on mistaken assumptions are always terrible.

ThatAnimeSnob's "review" of Chrono Crusade legitimately made me cringe. Not that any of his reviews are good to begin with, but this was probably the worst. If the review has to be in this site, then it's probably this one: https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=107483
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

Yeah, I took as in "this part is more slice of life and less straightforward adventure", but that's my generous interpretation of a stupid sentence and even then it doesn't hold up.

The idea that good worldbuilding equates explaining everything is one of my most disliked criticism in general. You can craft a very believable world with comprehensive systems without having to spell out everything to the viewer. In fact I think having some mystery and sense of stuff happening outside of the story presented serves to make it more believable and interesting, cause of course the characters you follow aren't going to know everything about the world, so why should the viewer?

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
