Are you a light, neutral, or dark anime reviewer???

Here's an explaination of what I mean.

Light: Gives all anime a chance and loves a lot of them. There are a lot of anime that people seem to hate that you find very interesting and good. You find something special in most anime and chances are, if you dump an anime, then it must really suck!

Neutral: You give most anime a chance but you seem to limit yourself a little. You don't seem to look very hard for something special in anime, it has to scream what's special about it out loud or you'll end up leaving it sooner or later. There are some anime you hate and some you love.

Dark: Barely gives an anime a chance. To you, if the 1st episode sucks, then all the episodes must suck. On top of that, you only stick to a certain amount of anime and genres and not really diverse at all. Some people might really love an anime while you dumped it long ago and hate it with a true passion.

You don't have to review anime to participate. This is basically talking about your opinion in a lot of anime.

Id say im neutral. I give most anime a chance, but some i just refuse to watch due to things like art style or story. Some anime have alot of good things about them, but there is just one thing that annoys me and i wont watch it

If anyone seen me around in the forums, then they should know I'm pretty light. I always give an anime a chance unless the 1st episode was tooooooo boring! *Cough*Ichigo 100%*Cough* I can be pretty neutral sometimes but most of the time I am light.

wow......nice question firetears.....very creative..give u props.

so yea i would have 2 say that i'm neutral. i usually give animes a shot and i try to watch an anime as un bias as possible. even if i don't find the 1st episode or 2 to be interesting...i usually continue the series until i'm almost certain that it doesn't convey my interest or if i don't see anything too unique shouting out at me from the anime. however i do have some light and dark characteristics. but if i dislike or like an anime, i usually stand by my decision if i think it is a relatively good or a bad anime.....but i will give some credit to several things i see in animes even if they are ones that i despise.

Id have to say a mix between light and neutral I give pretty much everything a shot, but I do drop them, but sometimes I countinue them just for the heck of it. I didn't like the twin series that I forgot the name of but I still watched it to the end. And if I see a first ep on torrent I'll just download it and watch it. Ok maybe Im more neutral

i think im neutral with a light tendency^^
i give most of them a chance, and stop watching if it really sucks after the 7th ep.
but i care about what i watching a little ^^'
cause there are some really bad in story so read first the review to check if this is a little interesting, this is enough i think watching a anime

I think I would be neutral. If nothing appeals to be, then i'll lose interest, but I give some anime's a chance.

Neutral fits my personality more than Dark. But I still think I review something in between Neutral and Dark. I'm always willing to give ANY anime series a chance even if it has some bad reviews. I usually give a minimum of 2 episodes. If it's some crappy-unecessary-ecchi-dating sim-to-anime poop, then I'll just give up on it. I've watched a lot of those and they all are the same to me (this is where my "Dark" review side comes in). Out of that area, I'm in between Light and Neutral.

I hardly can define myself
anyway, have a try..

with shounen manga/anime, I'm kind of dark, really dark...
I barely accept to read any except there's really good recommendations from trustful friends (even in this case, it takes time to check with other people)
or by chance I read a few chapters/eps and immediately fall in love

but if I have read and loved one shounen manga/anime, I will love it crazily, and remember it throughout my life (up until now) ^__^

with shoujo manga/anime, it's a bit different
can be described with "3 easy"
"easy love, easy come, easy go"
having short fun when you have nothing to do
that's all
70% of them I only read half way
so don't know if this could be called "light" or not Question

I almost feel ashmed to be saying "light" but that's how I am. I will watch just about anything and enjoy it. Though there have been some that I couldn't stand ie Samurai Girl Real Bout High School.

Great question! You really thought this one out! *claps*
