Still, if you don't like something you can express yourself the way you want, including calling something crap. Thumbs down for the publishers for not being able to accept that not everybody will love your stuff...

I knew the Japanese have things backwards. But to create horrible animu and not be called out for it? These circus clowns who make that crap can't take the responsibility when everybody believes that it IS bad?

I seen some of the first episode of this garbage. That's way more than enough for me. Plus; I wondered why so many hacks get to be responsible for animu. Now I know.

but one has to say that calling hyakko a "good" anime shows how much the standards have fallen doesn't it?

What about "Hyakko is so bad, I crapped myself out of sheer boredom"?

I actually love Hyakko. First episode was weak, but it picks up after that. It's a pretty niche title.

It is not entering and badmouthing it openly. Do not take things to the extremes, censoring thoughts is not right and just because someone doesn't go through the trouble of doing a list of reasons and why, makes it any less of valid opinion.

A lot of things can be summed up with 'it sucks' then 'Well... firstly I didn't like the...' Especially if the people you are talking to are hardcore fans and like-minded people.

How many movie critics we have? Alot. Yet who are we more likely to trust, our friends or watch that 15-20 min segment, spoiling the plot from a professional critic?

I'm getting away from the point now, but I stand that the opinions of one person in proper form should be protected as it is not extreme enough to be called slander on a public forum.

But then again tastes differ from individual to individual...

Hyakko is shit

Bleach is....piss.

COME AND GET ME YOU 11 BASTARDS!!!

Seriously.....this is retarded

The commentor was rude and lacks proper criticism. If you enter a restaurant and yelled out loud how the food tastes horrible to himself but delicious to everyone else, surely those who have yet to taste the food would be discouraged from eating there? Thus the owner would surely be heartbroken or mad at the fact that after many years of hard work, his restaurant had been ruined by a mere fool.

If you think an anime sucks, express yourself discreetly, and after venting out your rage, find the time to point out its flaws like a gentleman. Bear in mind that just because many anime pop out every year, that doesn't mean they're easy to make by the dozen. If you were to be part of the anime industry, and someone said your product sucks in public without any proper reason, then you do have a reason to get mad. Put yourselves in the other person's shoes.

It would have been easier to say "I don't quite like it". Because that would be an opinion which would be easier to swallow. Saying "it's crap" would not be an opinion, because the sentence does not contain an "I" or an indicator that would state that it's an opinion. It's a blunt statement. The term "it's crap" is descriptive in nature, and saying it to another person would give that person an impression about the object of criticism based on the description.

Here's an easier example:

In terms of people, if you say "I think he's gay", then that would be an opinion, which stands to be proven/disproven with no definite conclusion. If you say "He's gay", then that would be an insinuation/accusation/conclusion. Therefore, as a sound individual, learn and mind your language before "accusing" anything based on your own sentiments which nobody cares about.

This shit won't fly anywhere. Basic common sense applies, even if the court had some reason to grant this insane idea, it would absolutely overload and obliterate the court system as companies (And eventually individuals) race to silence every single critic, detractor and general annoyance to ever rally against them. Even if it somehow made it to the point of judgment, the company would need to prove damages and that they lost or inferred the loss of some relevant amount of money due to the damage caused to their name from the comment/s.

Good Luck.

You'd think that with the recession and all, the internet wouldn't be serious business anymore. *cue rim shot*
