Precursor

Scores do not matter. Critical consensus does not matter. Art matters. What you like/dislike is not a measurement of your intellect; none of these works are things we're entitled to, they're not "ours." We're simply given the chance to share in someone else's creation, whether that be a passion project or the product of a studio algorithm. The act of dissecting, rating, and looking at the reception of art to measure yourself is all pointless; if it's not about that very artistic expression, it's of tertiary value. Seek to understand before you seek to dissect. Anyone can point at a broken vase, but a true view of its discrete shards and their refraction before light is reserved for the aesthete. To realize that sometimes, the blemishes are what make it beautiful. The vase may be broken, but the way light contorts off the shards is perhaps where the true expression lies. To see beyond mere surface-level observations. To realize that the moment you attempt to pigeonhole things is the moment you've effectively missed the point of expression altogether. Your knowledge of literary devices, narrative structures, tropes, and terminology are all for further understanding—never for baseless dismissals.

The consumer, the reviewer, the critic, it doesn't matter what you call yourself by; all of us are entering the world of the art and not the other way around. We're the outside force. Whatever you call yourself before art, know that we are the foreigners in its dominion, and not it in our's.

Empty yourself of any pretense or prenotions to be filled with what the art and its expression have to offer. And if after all that. After seeking to understand. After living with the artist's vision, you come to a conclusion on whether you like it or not, only then should you dissect and further expound upon your reason for why.

But for those that haven't had that epiphany yet and/or still get pleasure out of numbers and ratings, the ranking scale and quality-control evaluations are listed below.

it is honestly retarded to judge hentai based on its moral value, not on only because morals are subjective, but also because it is missing the point

Great list! Can someone tell me what review everyone's so heated over xd

Mangaman162 Apr 22, 5:43 AM

Personal taste, preference, or opinions isn't the issue. The issue is some individuals (this guy included) create negative damning reviews on targeted series for kicks and to screw with people. Its obvious. almost every series hes bashing or scoring extremely low are highly viewed top list titles with alot of traffic. I dont care if people write real reviews and give it a 1 "fucking sucks: the end. as long as its legit. This isnt

Absolute legend

lol, the people who are saying nasty stuff about this guy must be so infantile... this guy is a legend. Have you seen how hilarious his Boku no Piko review is? Respect the effort. You can call him pretentious, elitist, whatever.... but respect the craft.

To the comments who kept on hating on him, please stop.

I get that your opinions are different than he does but you guys are taking his rankings and elaborations WAY too personally.

In my opinion? I’ve always thought his reviews and thoughts were some of the most well-written I’ve ever seen in this site.

Mangaman162 Apr 2, 12:23 PM

This guy is a hater. Most likely insecure and and gets a kick out of ripping on great anime. Please stop making reviews just to be an ass. People rely on this site for recommendations and your obviously posting poor reviews due to some personal issue.

InstantRamenKing Apr 2, 2:16 AM

based reviews, also rip
