Choosing An Anime Reviewer For You

By Marissa Velazquez


Anime can mean different things to different people. It covers a broad range of stories that are suitable for a number of different audiences. In order to narrow down these to find the ones you want then you have to find someone to guide you through it. This is why you should find an anime reviewer who broadly matches your opinion.

First of all anime covers a broad range of genres. In simple terms it is a form of Japanese animation. It can cover everything from Hitchcock style thrillers to charming stories for children that evoke classic Disney. While some people may have certain ideas of what this kind of animation represents it is surprisingly diverse.

For example a lot of people associate it with slow motion and repeated frames. It tends to suggest fluid movement and not necessarily that much detail. However this is not necessarily the case. Hayao Miyasaki is a notable exception. As a director he painstakingly drew frames by hand, providing rich colour and detail.

Some people will use rating systems. This may involve stars or amounts out of ten. This is best if you are in a hurry and want to see what someone thinks at a glance. If it is three out of five or five out of ten then you may wish to see why they think that in order to gauge whether or not the title you are looking for will appeal to you. Often the three out of five ones tend to be in the middle, with some people enjoying them and others less so.

Anime not only covers films but television series as well. In the case of television series this involves a lot more investment in terms of both time and money. For example in the case of Dragon Ball you are talking decades of stories and so you have to think carefully about whether or not you are prepared to put time into it.

This is why it helps to look at a number of different sites. You can then begin to see what people think and whether there is a broad consensus or not. You are unlikely to always get everyone agreeing but often certain names are likely to keep coming up and these are often the best places to start.

As you read more and more you should then be able to see who offers the clearest reviews. As well as being well written they ought to be reasonably in tune with what you think. Often the best ones will be entertaining enough in and of themselves regardless of whether or not you buy or rent out the titles they recommend!

Another good thing with reading an anime reviewer is often it can be entertaining to read a review in and of itself. There are also podcasts to listen to or video shows that can also be pleasing. Look online to get recommendations for different reviewers and to find the best ones that work for you as well as learning a bit more about the wide array of stories and genres available in the world of anime.
