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.

Start with a brief summary when writing a review. The writer should keep in mind the fact that the purpose of a review is to add some new information and not to summarize the whole plot. The summary section should take a maximum of 25 percent of an entire review. A conclusive summary only needs a description of a movie plot and main characters, and important aspects like the genre.

Reviews are supposed to leave the reader with enough suspense to be motivated to go buy or watch a movie in the cinemas. For this reason, a good review should avoid spoilers as much as possible. One must not be so preoccupied with the quest for readership that they include spoilers. The best that one should do is to include small hints and avoid big revelations about the storyline.

Another way to make the review more persuasive to the reader is to include the reaction and the opinion of an audience. If the reviewer watched such movie in a cinema, they could gauge the state of that room. Was it crowded? Did the audience applaud? If they watched it online, then they could look at the opinions of other reviewers.

Do not simply give an overall description of a movie without taking a stand. Many reviewers simply describe a film without saying whether the review liked the movie or not. Readers are often looking for guidance, and taking a stand offers guidance on whether or not to watch such movie. The best reviewers state their opinions on the film clearly.

A concrete verdict requires some assertions and conclusions. When making these, however, the writer must remember to back up their claims. Make conclusions after mentioning specific areas of an animated movie. The most important elements that can help in decision making are the plot, characterization, voice over, performance, and music.

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.

Go for the simple scales like the one to ten or five star scales. The best review writers must provide just enough information to capture the attention of an audience and leave out enough to build suspense so they can watch such movie for themselves. Finding that delicate balance is what makes the most out of anime reviewing.
