EP. REVIEW: Momo Kyun Sword

I'm not apologizing for my views, and not liking certain trends that have become commonplace is not a sign I have a "strong distaste for this genre." Just because a trend is pervasive doesn't mean I have to like it;

However, your list [of 3 shows from 2002 and earlier], and your previous [strongly negative] comments about "Ikki Tousen" and "MMH", would seem to suggest that there has not been a single fan-service anime made in the last 12 years that you have liked.

Whether that means you've seen many and disliked them all, or just generally avoided the genre, in either case, it would appear that your assignment to review a fan service genre show, was not an ideal match.

Either circumstance would seem to indicate a strong distaste for this genre.

To clear up my apparent misapprehension, could you say how many fan service or just plain ecchi shows have you watched in the last 3 or 4 years and whether or not you disliked them all? A list, if at all possible, would be ideal.

He doesn't owe you a list of his fanservice bona-fides so you can judge whether or not he's fit to review this show. It seems like you're setting up some kind of litmus test here so you can pass judgement and maybe be even more condescending than you have been, and it comes across as more than a little crappy.

You don't like his reviews, we get it. Miles was assigned this show because nobody else wanted to review it. He came in, explained his stance, said what he meant. That should be enough for you. If it isn't, you don't get to put him through a series of tests to see if he meets your standards.

Yeesh.

and watching shows in other genres that you actually enjoy.

It is a safe bet that he will just get another mediocre show, even if said show is in his "preference" range.

If our "new" reviewer hasn't seen it yet, a decent ecchi style comedy he should catch is No Game No Life just to clear the idea of "what does a GOOD (modern) ecchi comedy look like" (yes, NGNL does cover a number of territories, but it certainly has its foot in ecchi comedy for a number of its gags).

I was considering watching this show for lulz, spoiler[but then I saw some screencaps of the hot girl with glasses getting killed.]
