What I like is 100000000 million better then what all of you like.

You just have poor taste but don't know that yet.
That why you need our help to gate better taste

We're a bunch of cocksuckers.

All Imagawa anime sold like shit, but I still love them all.

The only people who do this here are Gundamfags.

Sales do matter, I'd be pretty upset if a show I like is actually popular. I try to avoid things that are talked about.

Some of the highest rated shows on American TV are the shittiest of shit reality shows. Does that make them better than other shows on obscure networks that don't get endless news coverage and media attention?

Even within the same genre, what makes a show like Breaking Bad get more attention than a show like Justified? Shock value?

Did G Gundam not do well? I would have thought it would have sold fine just because of the franchise it was attached to.

Marketing.

>highest rated
He is not talking about highest rate but money rate.

If show generate a lot of money then it was success even if you hate it from all of your heart.

Even if all of your internet friends agree, it's still mean nothing.

Money > Your opinion

I've not actually seen people use ratings to justify liking a show (or say it's good) nearly as much as to prove a shows popularity in general. Which is a separate and distinct thing, since you can dislike a show and think it's popular or vice versa.

Yes?

>Jesus confirms Love Live to be better than every mecha show
>MCU confirmed to be the best thing to happen to movies
>GTAV confirmed best game ever
>Twilight confirmed as the best written book
It's just a dick measuring contest. Everything is used to justify everything, but it's by no means a measure of quality
