- I suspected that they review most of the anime as action flicks or something,
- this will explain why Riding Bean had such a high rating (It was a pretty good
- action flick), and why Vampire Princess Miyu got such a low rating
- (ambigous horror/drama, but it was also good).
-
- I tend to be weary of review because they are biased by the preference of the
- reviewer. Siskel and Ebert reviews for example tend to prefer foriegn and
- drama films.
