RE: Do you look up the rating before watching an anime? 08-17-2016, 10:14 PM

Why do other opinions matter if you're the one trying to watch the show?
If something is notoriously "bad", that's just a common consensus. As a viewer, you can try and appreciate what often goes underappreciated and pick up subversive messages.
This doesn't just apply to anime or any show, but in all rounds of life.
It includes anything that can be reviewed. Products, food, shows, books, and services.
Try it yourself before you are quick to agree.
"Other people said this..."
"But I don't have an opinion because I just listened to other people's opinions."
That's weak.
