So much Hand Shakers hate. Although if I remember correctly the people posting seem to be the same people determined to hate the show since the first preview. As I have yet to see the first episode hard for me to defend. I was looking forward so heres to hoping there hate is unwarrented.

The CG is so bad that it gave me a headache, and several reviewers reportedly got motion sickness. This is not your average "bad show" here. |

As much as Rewrite anime wasn't as good as I was expecting, I was hoping to see the second season reviewed here

I actually rather enjoyed the first episode of the second season of Rewrite, especially when compared with the first season. But there probably aren't many left who are still following it because the first season was rather sub-par for a Key VN adaptation.

Bakemonogatari got picked as the Classic Streaming series? The one that doesn't have full streaming rights due to the last few being OVAs? Again... like Paranoia Agent... it's not good for this kind of review.
"Hey, here's an old show that's not streaming." "Well, that could have worked better. So here's one that's only partially... not... streaming."
So you mean this was done on purpose to simulate the experience of not being able to finish the series as it first aired? Or it was just added without considering what's actually available for viewing? What was number two? |

Yes, I read that, and no I'm not trying to make a big deal of it or anything, it just seemed like the list came from some sort of more deliberate filtering process, because you clearly aren't going to put every show from the pre-weekly-reviews era that's available streaming in this poll (Funimation.com alone would have hundreds of shows that would qualify). So, I just thought it was interesting to speculate on the process. Obviously, it's fine; people were eager to vote, and Bakemonogatari is totally the kind of thing that would benefit from episodic coverage, and has been seen by enough people that hopefully it'll do well for the site. |

I liked the second season's first episode too, and it seems to be doing better than the first season ratings wise elsewhere. But yeah, there is also a large drop in viewers from what I can gather on other sites, though that is not surprising given how the first is regarded. I think it would have done better in the review poll had it aired earlier but even then I'm not sure it would have crossed the line into coverage. I'm fine with Theron just doing a review after it's done. |

It would have served the same important service your previous reviews provided. A reminder of what the he!! happened the previous week. I have never seen a show so aggressively forgettable as Rewrite. The previous week could have ended on a precarious cliffhanger (as they sometimes did) but when the next episode showed on my queue and I started it up I'd be left wondering... "wait, what's going on? What are they doing?" |

Well thats surprising I did not know this was an issue I thought K was pretty good and I thought it would be pretty similar. Ill just have to remain an optimist until that day my hopes are shattered. |

One of the issues is that while K used some of the techniques to great effect, Hand Shakers both took it to an excessive degree and did it without any artistic sensibility, especially with camera motion. |

That's what everybody thought. We were wrong. Just go watch it yourself and judge the show instead of us. 
Actually, I'll say again that this isn't quite "hate watching" so much as "  watching," and I'm glad to see it getting reviewed. There's usually a lot of moaning and whining and arguing in the thread for the streaming review announcements, but I've laughed my head off at this one, because HS's inclusion seems to have put people in a good mood. I just hope the series can maintain its amazing level of wtf. 
Now for the whining part, I'm sad to see both Trickster and All Out get the axe. Anyway, looks like I'll be watching Chaos;Child after all. I tried twice to get through HEAd, but both times I couldn't get past 4 episodes before it induced amnesia and I forgot about it, so I figured this was a pass. But with Anne's competent hand to lead me through Child, I might make it. Might even be motivated to try HEAd a 3rd time, but I need to catch up on IBOrphans first. Here's to the new season! |

Im not judging anyone...I am just trying to hold onto a thread of hope that those who are complaining were going to hate no matter the quality of the show. Definitely one of my most anticipated shows for the winter so kind just wished somone was going to tell me how great it was (Lies are ok) =D. Also I will be unable to watch it for a while so thats why I am asking here. |

I don't want to be this negative, but I am afraid the reviews for Bakemonogatari are not going to have a lot of traffic. I am surprised that after the fiasco with Paranoia Agent no one at ANN's editorial department noticed that not all 15 episodes of Bakemonogatari are streaming. I love Bakemonogatari and want more fans to discover it, but reviewing only 12 episodes of it will be a disservice to this amazing show. |

To be fair, hand shocker is trying to have scene be more dynamic, even simple conversation have camera movement and more than just pan shot. I think it's commendable to try and make scene more dynamic, but they clearly have nowhere near the talent or resource to pull it off... |
