Different Types Of Anime Reviewer

By Jaclyn Hurley


The word anime means different things to different people. Therefore it means some people can end up missing out on some fantastic films and television series because they are not aware of what is out there or if they will like it. This is why it helps to find an anime reviewer who will find the ideal titles that you will love and help you avoid the ones that you will not want to waste your money on!

Before choosing a reviewer it helps to know what the term refers to. On the basic level it is an animated television series or feature film that is made in Japan. There are some stylistic traits people associate with the genre such as an unusual use of freeze frames or exaggerated emotional reactions. A good example of this is when a character is nervous and this is reflected by a giant sweatdrop forming on their brow.

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.

Many animated television shows have come from Japan as well. The most well known are titles such as Sailor Moon and Pokemon. While a lot of these shows get translated into English a lot of purists would argue that the dubs can often lose elements of plot and characters from the original Japanese version.

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.

However there are also numerous websites where people regularly blog or post their own anime reviews. It is worth looking for these because the people doing the reviews will often be particularly passionate and knowledgeable. Some will be serious and be very much about discussing what they watched seriously while others will be more fun and light hearted. You can find out more by looking for review shows online as well as feedback on websites and social media to find out what kind of reviewers people like watching or reading online.
