How An Anime Reviewer Can Achieve Excellence

By Earlene McGee


It is often said that there is nothing special about opinions since everyone has one. This saying comes in many variations but is one of the most important in the world. In reality, though, there are some opinions that could be argued to be more special than others. The words of movie review writers are almost always considered gospel. What makes them so special? Here is a look at how an anime reviewer should focus on.

Good reviews always start with a brief summary. The writer should remember that they are adding some new information and not reiterating the whole movie as would be done in a novelization. The summary portion of the review should only be a small percentage, describing the genre, plot, and some major characters. The summary section only puts the review into context.

The review markets a movie, giving the audience reasons to go watch a movie in cinemas or buy it. For this reason, a good review should not have spoilers. If the review writer gives away important facts in their review, then the reader is left with no motivation to go watch that movie. Stick to giving little hints and avoid huge spoiler like telling when a main character dies.

To improve the persuasiveness of a review, the writer should consider including the opinion of an audience in their review. This is especially useful if they watched the movie in a cinema. Include facts about the audience like whether the cinema hall was crowded or not, and whether the audience seemed happy or applauded after. For online of DVD watchers, the opinions of other reviewers might help.

Readers look for reviews because most of the time they are never sure of what to make of the movie. This makes a review with a concrete opinion one of the best. Many review writers simply go through the review writing discussing elements of the movie without taking a clear stand. Many readers look for a decisive verdict when they read reviews.

The assessment of the movie should be backed up with concrete evidence. Give descriptions of the characterization, performance, plot, or musical accompaniment when giving the verdict. Providing specific details of a movie justifies the opinion and adds credibility to the review.To further cement the opinion given, make sure to give a summation of the review with a grade at the end.

To sum up the review, give the anime movie a grade at the end of description and verdict. If the grading takes the reader by surprise, they can always scroll back up to the review itself and see why the grade has been given. The scale used for the grading system should be simple and understandable. Go for the simple grades like a one to ten scale, or the common five star grading systems.

The reader should be able to see the grade and automatically know whether or not it is a positive one. The best reviews require the writer to strike the delicate balance between revealing too much to discourage readers from watching the movie, and revealing too little to leave the audience dissatisfied. A good review should reveal just enough to build suspense.
