The first section that you are able to rate in a review is animation. A common misconception when rating animation is comparing two different styles from two different periods. For instance, I currently use [http://anidb.info/a1217 Tokyo Godfathers] or [http://anidb.info/a890 Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence] as a reference point for "high quality modern animation". They are clear examples of superb animation seamlessly blending 2D with 3D animation. Now the problem arises when I compare that type of animation from a decade ago (1990s). Animation, like any art, progresses indefinitely through time. Tastes change, styles change, and potential audience changes with time. In 1999, [http://anidb.info/a73 Rurouni Kenshin - Meiji Kenkaku Roumandan - Tsuiokuhen], was considered the pinnacle of animation at the time. Comparing two differing styles like [http://anidb.info/a73 Rurouni Kenshin - Meiji Kenkaku Roumandan - Tsuiokuhen] with something modern like [http://anidb.info/a1217 Tokyo Godfathers] is unfair and too subjective. Rather than comparing one anime to another, it would be better to think about whether the anime effectively conveyed a unique style of animation. | The first section that you are able to rate in a review is animation.

:<b>1</b> – The animation can cause eye cancer. It is just drop down bad; there are no qualities that can receive any positive regard.<br> | :<b>1</b> – The animation can cause eye cancer. It is just drop down bad; there are no qualities that can receive any positive regard.<br> | ||

The other popular way to comment on animation is to use an exemplarly anime of realistic animation as a gauge. An anime such as Innocence or Macross Zero are popular guages. Because an anime like Innocence or Macross Zero aims to be highly realistic and uses cutting end animation techniques, this way of reviewing animation helps readers differentiate between the "typical" 2D animation style and the more "realistic" 3D animation style. | The other popular way to comment on animation is to use an exemplarly anime of realistic animation as a gauge.
