IGN.com Anime Reviews
 

A lot of you probably know that ign.com do has a new section on their site for anime reviews. I tried listening to one of their reviews, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya to be precise, and I just got to say that it was probably one of the worst reviews ever. The whole lot of them depict themselves as being hardcore anime fans and a lot of their comments about the show didn't make sense at all. What really pushed me over the edge was how they compared the English and Japanese version of Haruhi and said that they were equally great with great voice acting. I heard a little of the English version and I believe that the Japanese version is by far the best. I wouldn't rely what I watch based on IGN's rating systems and reviews, if you want good anime reviews you should hear it from people who understand the genre, the culture that it comes from, and are true fans of anime; those people are the viewers them selves, us. That's why I come here a lot and discuss and listen to comments about Naruto, Bleach, and other anime because I can get a honest and realistic response.

I love ign's podcasts, but there reviews on anythings are pretty crap. But you shouldnt rely on reviews to see whats good and whats not, their just there to give you an idea. Also theres a ton more better sites just for anime reviews out there if you go goggleing, i think they would be a better choice instead of ign who mainly focuses on gaming reviews.

I'd probably say that the person who wrote it hates Anime or doesn't have good taste.
The real way to see if an anime is good is to actually watch some of the first episodes and peek at it.
