Does the internet's most trusted anime news source deserve the hate they get?
I only use yaraon.
the news is sourced and unbiased
the reviews and userbase is horrible
Naturally, /a/ is shit after all

Yaraon is better tbqh.

>Does the internet's most trusted anime news source
They write a lot of clickbait articles and have been known to change or remove formerly negative reviews with more positive ones depending on who is sponsoring them or what has gotten popular.
>>134534538
But do they pay for their anime?
>>134534328
nah it's not that bad /a/ just like to be a tsundere.I agreed on the disastrous review thought.
It's a good site for those who don't know moon i guess.
>>134534562
No, they get access to it for free so they can write favorable reviews.
Almost every important piece of news that they'd pick up on will be on /a/ somewhere within an hour anyway, so why should I bother?
>>134534562
No, but they expect you to.
Yaraon is shit and ANN is shit for using Yaraon as a news source. Seriously, using Japanese tweets from random fans as news is retarded.
>>134534328
Pretty much what >>134534385 said. It's good for news but if you're going for opinion articles and reviews it's shit.
>>134534356

>Pretending to know moon on an anonymous pictureboard
Stop nobody thinks you're cool
>>134534385
Remember that time they claimed a well known mangaka wants a sex change because they didn't realize he was joking?
Remember how they never retracted that initial report?
A hive of SJW scum.
90% of their "news" are translations of days old articles from matome blogs
>>134534792
If they didn't retract it, then post the link.
>>134534792
Is that where that whole fucking rumor about Asano started?

Do people really read ANN? I only use their site for the database.

>>134534385
This. They're generally a decent source for news.
It's when they write opinion pieces that they become Kotaku-tier.
>>134534328
I only use it for news. I heard that the community is bad. It isn't my business so I don't really care about it.

But their sources are too often Japanese blogs...who have no sources. Just because they are Japanese bloggers with opinions doesn't make it news.

at least its sourced so you can discern whether to trust it or not
News and encyclopedia. I see the site has a podcast. Adorable.
>>134534328
I just use it to see how many episodes a show has
>>134535725
But if you aren't Japanese you have no way of knowing.
I only used them for staff and cast members.
>>134534385
They're poorly sourced and very biased you mean.

The answerman articles, the news, and the database are quite useful. Just like MAL's database is useful.
It's just that the community sucks, just like on /a/.
Every community on the planet sucks.
>>134534385
>Most media new sites on internet in nutshell.
>>134534385
More often than not, their "sources" are bullshit Japanese sites. Basically, Nippon Shitkakucomplex and whatnot.
ANN ruined sakuga fandom.

>trusted
they are paid to advance some propaganda

Why the fuck do people even go there?
>>134534426
You can fuck right off with that shit taste.
>>134534328
I use them for news. Ever since they started blogshit and 'interest' posts it's gotten worse though.
>>134534385
This. Their news is pretty good but their reviews are a mixed bag. Some reviews sound like they're shilling. Plus, they notoriously love hipster shows like Space Dandy.
>>134538545
Sankaku's chan is pretty decent.
>>134534328
never read a single review, huh?
>>134539653
>Dandy
>Hipster Show
Shit is mainstream as fuck when it aired.
You want hipster shows? Go for Ping Pong.
>>134534328
They literally have college liberal females reviewing everything. They're good for news, but don't go anywhere near the opinion pieces unless you enjoy reading lengthy essays on how Japan is problematic with how they portray fictional women.
I've hated them ever since that Answerman/KnJ bullshit all those years ago.
>>134540655
Apparently Kirei is evil because he's a misogynist with a failed marriage.
>>134534328
Better than going to /a/ for news and reviews, but, then again, so is anything else.

Great database.
Some staff (Zac and Hope especially) are extremely arrogant and biased.
90% of staff are corporate dick suckers.

Such as?
>>134534641

>>134534385
Pretty much this.
The only people there who know what they're talking about are that one guy who loves Shirobako and the sakuga dude that writes for them sometimes.
Why would I need an anime news site?
>>134542976
>90% of staff are corporate dick suckers.
So they shouldn't pay for the stuff they watch?

ANN frequently sources yaraon.
>>134540597
They love that too.
>Shit is mainstream as fuck when it aired.
Nah, it got pretty bad ratings in the West from what I've heard.
>>134534385
>>134545789
Or anything about Watanabe. It's like they think anything he makes is a masterpiece or something.
>>134538034
>media new sites
>>134534385
Remember when they belived a rumor that a gay bara manga was going to get an anime adaptation and air on noitamina? It took the fucking mangaka to deconfirm it over twitter and they had to retract the statement. Guess where they sourced it?
>>134545789
Don't forget about how they panned Yosuga no Sora because it had incest in it and the admin still bans people who try to talk about it being good.

Come on /a/.
Still my go-to database for anime staff information.
>>134538545
>Why the fuck do people even go there?
One of the few things that everyone can agree with Shii on is that Shitkaka is bad.
But aya.shii.org died years ago.
While I do find some of the reviews overbearing the reviews of Fate/Stay Unlimited Blade Works. That devolved into explanations of gender theory. Or some simply stating that "all art is political" and never defending the assertion is frustrating.
But that's mostly why I stay off the forums and don't interact with most of the episode reviews. That being said opinions are opinions so I don't get that bent out of shape that people who have primarily liberal views hire others that think like them. It's just that people don't give an inch oh well. I use MAL anyway to archive what I watch and read
All I care about is the headlines on ANN, so it's fine.
>Boku Girl is getting an anime.
>Barakamon is getting a second season
>Wakamoto has passed away
I ignore everything else. Generally if the news is big enough for me to care, /a/ will have a thread for me to find details.
