[QUOTE="RadFemHedonist, post: 626779, member: 1416"] Interestingly this is part of why I don't read negative reviews of things these days - it's not that I think critics or the job they do or their opinions are fundamentally unworthy of respect, but I am unwilling to spoil my own fun and enjoyment in watching something in this way - I do look at aggregate scores sometimes if I'm on the fence as to whether to bother with something or not, but that's about it. I was reading the Hans Christian Andersen story The Snow Queen the other day and for me, reading negative reviews is a bit like putting a piece of the glass from the mirror that magnifies flaws in my own eye! Sorry if this seems like an unreasonable thing to say on a review website, but that's part of why I like this site - because you mostly just review stuff you liked and the reviews are largely positive for that reason :) I still love 5cm Per Second, and The Place Promised in Our Early Days as well :) [/QUOTE]
