'The waking world is dream. The world of dreams is truth.' - Yuuko (xxxHOLiC)
Sometimes I will look at the MAL user reviews and see someone using clever words and arguments to give something 1/10,
and then someone else directly beneath them using a different set of clever words and arguments to give the same thing 10/10. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes you have to make a conscious effort of the imagination, or use your emotional empathy or receptivity, to get a satisfying or meaningful experience from something. Whether it be in real life
(solitary or with other people), or from a book, music, anime, movie, etc. There's a quote that goes something like:
'Books are like a mirror. If an ass looks in, you can't expect an angel to look out.'
Similarly, when someone is looking at an anime - part of what they're getting back, is simply a mirror reflection of themselves.
