The reviewer is always right, and knows more than everyone else -- including those who have taken film-lit. (Yours truly included!) |

Would Genesis Survivor Gaiarth be considered a documentary? (The All-Movie Guide) |
3. |
Crying Freeman is a "comedy." (The Video Movie Guide) Hmmm. I'm still not laughing. |
4. |
Rating a show without actually watching it. (half of the review sites out there, and half the reviews in The Anime! Movie Guide) |
5. |
One-liner reviews -- "I liked this show". |
6. |
The one thing I hate more than one-liner reviews: one word reviews -- "Good". |
7. |
Any English-version Sailor Moon review -- why bother? |
8. |
Comic relief does not have to be used in every show.
|
9. |
SD does not have to be used for emotional content. |
10. |
Not all males are lecherous! |
11. |
Not all males are indecisive... only some... occasionally |
12. |
Shows that blatantly rip-off other shows. |
13. |
SUBTITLES THAT SHOUT AT THE VIEWER! |
14. |
Subtitles in the middle of the picture... of a wide-screen format show. |
15. |
Five million repeats of the same manouevre -- from different angles. |
16. |
Re-used film footage -- especially distinctive clips. |
17. |
Ridiculous amounts of company advertising a.k.a. the AIC syndrome. |
18. |
Reviewing two different releases of a program, one of which had been butchered by over 20 minutes, and covering it under the same review. |
19. |
Scenes that go on and on and on... -- a.k.a. the Eveready Energizer Effect. |
20. |
Shows that use the same characters in entirely different universes -- a.k.a. the "A-ko Anomaly" |
21. |
Shows that use screaming overly-cute crybabies as a central figure -- a.k.a. the "C-ko Condition" |
22. |
Voice actors that can't. |
