Why is the average anime fan so much more critical than fans of other mediums?
It seems like everyone has something to say about some nebulous concept like the "plot" or the "pacing" of a show, and very rarely elaborate on their points other than calling them good or bad.
It's almost as if you guys are trying to justify your liking of anime to some invisible man who is silently judging you.
Explain yourself.

It's just 4chan. Go to any other board and you'll see the same elitism.

You're not looking hard enough, and of course people are going to want to bring criticism to various shows when this is a medium that is so very inconsistent in its overall quality between shows.

Because most anime fans are ignorant of nip culture.

This.
There are tons of normalfag anime "fans" who eat up shit like SAO or Re:Zero and praise it to high heavens.

Try leaving /a/ for a bit.

Why aren't you critical of something you care about? My parents criticized me because they wanted me to be better. I criticize games because they can be better. I criticize anime because shit like glasslip should not be made

>My parents criticized me because they wanted me to be better.
And see how did you end up?
Lonely, autistic faggot complaining about children cartoons to other autists over the internet.
I bet your parents are proud!
Saying "it's shit" isn't being critical, and trashing something you don't like without being able to explain why isn't being critical either.

That's the opposite of being critical you retard.

/a/ 'criticism' is shitposting. But MAL rating is mainly responsible for pseudo elitism. Also ignorance about nip culture and their preference.

Most anime fans are going through an "intellectual" phase.
It'll pass once they get a job and start heavily drinking.
