If it’s for personal situations, who cares. I will say that I don’t care for review websites that have a clear bias. It’s impossible to not be completely unbiased in a review, but disowning an entire genre is just silly. I know I’m not going to get a “real” answer from them. Music review sites...

If you go back and read my post, I explicitly said: Or this post stating my criticism of how you use MAL. As you can see, I have explicitly stated my stance on the intended purposes of websites like MAL, or Yelp, or whatever. My criticism the entire time is how you, and a few others on here...

That just makes them sheep. Why not just make your own opinions? If you either have no interest in a show (or whatever form of media), or don’t like it, then you don’t have to agree with what some website has to say. Quoting a website to someone who either doesn’t give a shit (or likes it) isn’t...

They’ve already done that

That still doesn’t explain why I have to give a shit. If someone doesn’t use a website, then why should that person care what said website’s top 10 anything is. If you don’t use IMDB for movie reviews, why should you care what their top 10 movies are? It also makes you look like you’re just...

I don’t recall there being a boom because of more shows being made around that time (actually, you can still look at MAL season listings from back then and the number of shows being about the same). I do recall Crunchyroll making anime more mainstream around 2013 thanks to shows like SAO and...

They said it’s because it’s so competitive, nobody reads the description on the back. So they have these lengthy titles that basically explain the whole premise.

You still haven’t answered why I have to give a shit.

As a clarification: I don’t hate MAL or think anyone is wrong for using it. My criticism has to do with how some of you quote it like it’s word of god, especially if someone doesn’t mirror their opinion off of it. It comes off like you’re just parroting it instead of having your own opinion. It...

I watch slow stuff, so it really doesn’t bother me.

The light novel industry’s try straight up has admitted to it, hence why the titles are crazy for a lot of them.

It’s really just a simple lack of caring. If I like a show, cool, if I don’t, oh well. I also have other ways of discovering shows, so it really just falls to the wayside to not care. That’s why it’s weird for me to see some of you guys quoting MAL at me. They’re not the sole authority on...

You still didn’t answer my question: why do I have to give a shit about what MAL has to say?

With tentacles?

Do you think this thread is lazy? I do.

You still haven’t answered why I should give a shit what they have to say. Especially if I’m asking someone for their opinion on a show. If I wanted to see what MAL had to say, I’d go on there instead of asking you. If you don’t use a website, why should you give a shit what their opinion on...

Tbh, it has been a decade since they got popular. Most of the backlash is because how many get released a season, and how many of them feel gimmicky. Each season, there’s like 4+ isekais, and most of them are new shows, not a returning show. It also doesn’t help that a lot of them have a...
