Cliche and predictable are two most overused metrics to judge whether something is good and this needs to stop. Humans have been writing stories for millions of years so it's no surprise that we can see transcending similarities in stories denoted as "the hero's journey". So how do you tell if something is good?
Uncertainty! We know our main characters are going to survive and eventually preserver but to the degree of which the story shakes the reader with uncertainty is what makes stories so enticing.
If predictability is knowing the outcome, uncertainty is being shaky about the road to that outcome.
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." -Albert Einstein
In other words, if you judge a romance series by not being an adventure series, it will always have a bad rating.
I sometimes rate series in RELATIVITY to how it rivals it's peers in it's own genre.
Also taken into account is the extent to how much if fulfills it's own genre.
Adventure must have a "good" adventure.
Romance/Slice/Drama must of life must have "good" romance, slice of life, and drama (needless to say since i find SOL stale because I live life, the drama and romance better hit my kokoro hard) Hentai series must have good hentai
Note: by "good" I mean, an engaging, progressive, flow. I try to be more objective with adherence to "logistics" rather than "opinionated" but i can't help it sometimes. I try to exclude "cliche" as a flaw because it's not a race. It's about who executes it better.
Tips for artists: https://youtu.be/zhdBNVY55oM , and any video on how david fincher directs a scene
manga wise: blue flag, the promised neverland, grand blue, all of which have great pacing and good framing.
TL;DR: TRY TO DO MORE WITH LESS, SHOW AND NOT TELL, IS THE GOLDEN RULE TO LIFE AND ENTERTAINMENT
(i am writing a game and a story atm and id love feedback when the time comes)
Animation: I remember as a kid constantly flipping tv channels in search for anything that is an animated cartoon, and I didn't even know what "good/pretty" animation was, i just wanted anything cartoon like. Anyone can do art and animation better if they had more time to flesh out but having experience in making videos, and jesus I can understand the laziness. I will shout out when something has amazing art but i dont really penalize for art, framing and pacing is significantly more important.
Hello! Did you complete ao no flag?
If you read it, were you dissappointed by the ending?
To me it seemed so rushed.... idk
i guess the author should have given it few more chapters to explain those things.
hi i saw your ao no flag review and i just wanted to ask why you hate yahari ore etc etc, you seem to have some good takes on stuff and i'm very curious. cheers
Man, can u give me some anime and/manga recommendation? Something that u think will fit with what i wrote in my profile, or based on my favorites list... Thanks..
I just wanted to say hi too! =) I saw you around here and there and your posts are really good, and it's fun talking about knowledge and stuff in that thread you made =) I'd love to chat more about other things too! I'm always up for PMs or whatever =) Or if not, that's ok too, I just wanted to say that you're cool hehe! =)
Just wanna say hi to fellow Spy x Family avid readers. And u probably one of few members in MAL that actually have pretty high anime affinity to me too. Lol.
