How To Find An Anime Reviewer

By Jaclyn Hurley


People have different ideas on what anime is. There is a diverse range of stories within this genre and it can be overwhelming for people who are new to it. Therefore it helps to check online to compare the various types of anime reviewer to see what kind of titles that they would personally recommend.

Before looking for a reviewer it helps to know what the genre is. Indeed calling it a genre is problematic. On a basic level the term simply refers to a film or television series made in Japan that is animated. There are other countries that make films and television series that use conventions based on the Japanese animated style but strictly speaking anything produced outside of Japan does not tend to be considered part of this particular style.

The origin of this particular style can be traced back to World War 2. During this time the arrival of American soldiers also saw the arrival of American comic books, cartoons and movies. Inevitably these comic books, cartoons and movies would go on to influence Japanese artists.

Therefore for someone who has only recently started watching Japanese animation this can feel rather overwhelming. It is impossible to catch up on decades of television series or all the classic movies. Therefore it helps to look for reviews to allow you to narrow down the options and choose a couple of titles to start with.

Therefore when you are looking for a reviewer you need to consider whether they are looking for the kind of stories you want. You may enjoy the dystopian cynicism of a movie like Akira or prefer the style and colour that comes with the work of Hayao Miyasaki, an animator whose craftsmanship and dedication often invites comparisons with Walt Disney.

As you read them you should read between the lines. You need to consider whether or not the person writing the review has a similar perspective to you. What one person considers to be a classic another person may totally detest. However when it comes to the most critically acclaimed titles you will usually get a broad consensus.

Another option is to look for specific review sites. Some may focus on new releases while others may also include classic titles. Some sites are serious while others may be a bit more light hearted. There are also video sites and often these can be entertaining in and of themselves.

The fact is that even the most dedicated fan cannot watch all the titles that get released in a year. Furthermore you would not want to as it is better to look for the ones that would appeal to you. This is why it helps to look for reviewers who can help guide you and find the ones best suited to you. Look online to find review sites as well as feedback from viewers to find the best ones for you.
