So when someone watched some piece of media, in this case anime, more specifically the music video called "Shelter", sometimes they want to express their opinion, in this case through a review, more specifically on the site MyAnimeList
gone bai bai

You mad brah? @Zergneedsfood is MAL's saviour from the heavens. Honestly this music video is mediocre (just Porter promoting his new brostep single) yet people wet themselves like it's the second coming of Jesus.

Just because it's a music video doesn't mean it can't be criticized.

OPINIONS OP, OPINIONS they have the right to express them... fuck and what does it matter if it is a music or not, I think of it more of as a half short/half music video but whatever...

Why shouldn't they be? I once gave a review to a one minute long anime that was basically a 15 second gif played four times: twice forward and twice backward. Anything can be reviewed and with an anime that popular it's bound to get reviews.

people want top reviews lol, and mal makes it really really hard to get top reviews without reviewing something right when it comes out, or better put, prematurely.

so in their desparation they review fucking music videos

that said, the shelter video is pretensious as fuck

I fully agree with his highness.

Noone should be allowed to review anything, unless DingDong up there allows us to.
I mean we all voted him to be our pope, and he is King of Sweden, so we should abide to his will.

I like Shelter, but just because it's a music video doesn't mean it's free from critics and reviews.

Elitist has lost it's meaning right now, I think whoever analyzes and rates an anime with low score is easily an elitist now

^^^^^^^^^
It's great that there's so many differing opinions, actually. You get to look at things (Shelter, in this case) from a bunch of perspectives you may not have considered otherwise. What's poisonous, though, is how every time a piece of media like this comes out there's outrage and pissing contests coming from all those different perspectives. But hey, welcome to the Internet, right?

There's nothing wrong with reviewing a music video.

...Provided you actually review it as a music video.

Reviewing it as anything else - be it a movie, a series, or whatever - is akin to reviewing a magazine like one would review a novel. It's completely nonsensical.
Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

Because they feel like it. People are free to voice their opinions on MAL.

Wait, does this mean I'll be judged for rating it low since I found it boring? I honestly hope not.

Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes!

So? It was produced in a form of art, it would only be weird if nobody analyze it.

More directly and specific to this one, i think it's because of r/anime

people expecting an elaborate story with beginning, a climax and an end, with well developed characters all in a 6 minutes music video. most people would consider that insane and an unreasonable expectation, but not on MAL.
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

As stated, if it exists, people will interpret it. Hopefully you got some semblance of an answer from all this. While there were some attempts at answering the thread's question, the thread was also hit with a good number of attacks, though the opening post's hostility towards reviewers and its usage of the 'elitist' term probably didn't help. Locking this since the thread was answered.
