| Hey guys :D So I'm starting to take my ratings very seriously. And I have a question regarding this. When judging an Anime's characters, plot, ect. Do you think it's a good idea to compare one Anime's aspects to another? Like "But compared to other shows the character development is good" Do you think it's necessary? Is it unnecessary? Should it be totally avoided? |
| I think comparing one thing to another one is not something bad, because we need something to compare to when we make a measurement, so it is necessary. Even I think we unconciusly to compare the thing with what we have experienced in the past. Should it be avoided? yes when we have a universal standard that objectively everyone agreed on. But that is not the case, cause what we have now is a guideline to judging its good or not based on experienced of majority. So in the end to have a good judging on anime we need to watch a lot of anime (even the bad one). |
| ~This is not a SIGNATURE and English is not my main language, so I'm sorry~ |
| I guess when thinking about a show individually it would be best to only be thinking about that show, but when giving ratings you should definitely be thinking about other shows. A rating is supposed to represent how you feel about a show when compared to other ones. For example if you give Mushishi a 9/10, that means you're saying you like Mushishi more than everything scored an 8/10 and below, but you like it less than anything scored as a 10. And also you like Mushishi about the same as everything else that's a 9/10. Here's a video that explains this a bit better than I probably can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KETsihEO5Zk |
