I see nothing wrong here except for the fact that it's ANN.

Oh well, it'll never be the level of video games and their bullshit.

>>64156475
that's because you're a tripfag

Anyone else remember Zac complaining about the show in his preview review when Madoka first started airing? It is amazing what a little ad revenue will do to your tastes.

>>64156475

I also agree with this sentiment. ANN is fucking balls.

>using ANN for anything other than their colored bar graphs

I liked it better when it was called Bokurano. At least the big twist there was foreshadowed with some subtlety.

>>64156498

HAHAHAHA

Zac Bertsesy is a fucking burnt out joke of a man and anime fan. and if anything, I love what you said. Seriously, I do.

that video game rating system

>>64156481
They gave an A to RISE AND SHIIIINE, that's bullshit.

>>64156498

>paying attention to whatever some ANN guy was or is doing

I honestly don't see any difference between some random MAL reviewer and anyone from ANN or any similar website (other than being paid), so what gives?

Totally 100% professional anime and manga reviewers.

Go read their Spring preview without raging

Protip: you can't

An A for anime music?

Ohhdigiwiggets

>>64156594
I've heard this line and I honestly do not know where you elitist faggots are coming from. What would you do artistically?

>Overall (dub) : A

wait what? MINE MINE MINE

>reading anime reviews

WHAT

Funny, this is actually something that looks legit. Except B for animation which is kind of a stretch.

Fuck ANN reviewers though, it seems they still aren't out of the "Cowboy Bebop is the best anime ever made" mindset when doing previews, and open their ass wide when money comes.

Looks pretty accurate to me, save for the QUALITY in some scenes. Despite that, the animation was really nice looking, so a B sounds like a good grade. A C would be too low.

Now rating it on a number scale... that's a different story.

ANN will only give something a bad review if they can find something they morally object to in the anime.

>>64156621
He is the head guy at ANN. He is a hypocrite and all around piece of shit. Everything that is wrong with ANN is personified in him.

Mami for the saddest death in all anime.

>Zac Bertsesy is a fucking burnt out joke of a man and anime fan
I listened to one of their podcasts out of curiosity once.

Burt out is an understatement. At this point, they just hate everything about anime and anime fans but are totally trapped in their professions. You can hear their resignation and self-loathing in pretty much every other sentence. It's surreal.

>>64156675
Oh maybe put a crucifix in a jar of urine upside down and get international acclaim for it.

>>64156704
the dub is horrible, even a madoka fan such as myself will tell you that. just watching the trailer with the dub is cringeworthy to say the least, and I cant imagine the more "feelsy" moments with those dubs, holy fuck that'd be horrible.

Overall : B
Story : B

Get your /v/ logic out of here.

These are not paid reviews, "it's called having shit taste, o insight on the industry and pandering to the taste of your readers"

ITT: buttmadness and denialtry

It is clearly the best mahou shoujo series to date, and its only natural that Westerners view it with awe and praise since its the first mahou shoujo series to ever gain international attention.

Using notes in anime/manga/games/movies reviews is useless anyway. You can't compare notes of tomato soup and onion soup to know which one is objectively tastier.

>>64156767
1/10

made me reply

>>64156749
I haven't seen they gave a mark for the dub.

And I can't tell about this, I haven't heard it. And definitely not planning to.

>>64156749
But you're a weaboo and your judgement cannot be trusted.

Sounds like /a/.

I think the dub is pretty good. Its at a level where It doesn't bother me which language I'm watching in.

ANN are just typical nostalgiafags, i.e they watched "the classics" like Bebop and EVA and consider themselves anime experts.

/v/ could pretty much be summarised like that as well.

>>64156749
By the low standard of anime dubs it's actually quite good. Maybe not A-rank but it's at least a B.

/a/ : ANN ::: /v/ : IGN

>Madoka was my first anime, I really like the kawaii characters and sugoi honto music ne ^_^

>Overall (dub) : A
>Madoka has a dub on the level of or better than Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, FLCL, Baccano!

I hope those fuckers got paid a lot to spout such bullshit.

>Overall (sub) : A

So was it the fonts they liked the best, or the englsih language? The spelling? Or a combination of all 3?

>>64156896
As someone who thought Madoka was the mediocre the music is actually pretty good. Not Yuki Kajiura's best work but above average for animu music.

>>64156900
actually they say that the dub is just okay.

>>64156951
>A
>just okay

what a great ratings system

>>64156922
they aren't ranking the overall sub quality. they are ranking the overall show with the subs on. Thats why a semi decent dub or sub can still reach an A rank, as long as the show itself is good.

>>64156951
>actually reading a review before you criticize it
I shiggity diggity doo

But that's all true, except the part about it being brutal.

Sure, Animation is rated based on the number of frames used, right? The art direction of Madoka is its strongest point and implying it's the biggest weakness of the anime is fucking retarded and destroys all your credibility

So, who do I contact to get a job at ANN? Seems like easy money.

>>64157063
But art got an A.

Everything here is right except dub rating and animation. That's better than usual for ANN.

>>64157063

That's why art and animation are separated.

>>64157063
That's right, bro. The art in this series is flawless.

>>64157063
The art sucks, deal with it.

>>64157163
Poor girl, she looks afflicted with something

>>64157225
2 streight, I fix

>>64156440
The animation is B or C so much QUALITY they never fixed even in the SECOND go around.

The Dub is D..

ANN despite being the most visible of anime news sites is also the worst.

Is the animation really that bad? What exactly is the problem? I didn't notice anything too bad when I watched the show (although I wasn't really looking for anything like that).

>>64157422
Odd looking midground shots. Its hardly noticeable

>>64157422
They reused about a second of footage in the TV version of episode 5 that was replaced in the BD.
