Well, I wasn't sure if this was really forum-worthy, but I figured I'd give it a shot.
When I write an opinion, I take it very seriously. I follow a strict format, but I also like to personalize them a bit. For those of you who have received an opinion from me, you'll recognize it as such:
"Before I begin, I'd like to make the following comments, which IN NO WAY impact on your scores (except Re-viewable). 1. <some comment about the anime, if I liked it or if I know it> 2. <some comment about the song, ""> 3. <some comment about if I've seen videos from you before, or if I liked another one of yours...also, sometimes a comment regarding my anticipatory reaction before watching the video> 4. If there is a four, it's usually something totally random, or an inside joke. Lately, it's been filled by apologies to those that I made wait so long for an opinion I owed them. Anyway, onto the review!"
Well, what I want to know is this: does anyone even care about that info? I've been considering just dropping that section altogether, because none of it really pertains to the video itself. Yet, I thought that some people might like to know where I stand before I give the opinion. I mean, if people know I hate a certain anime prior to watching their video with that anime in it, that's a good thing, right? They'd know that that two on Re-viewable is just a personal thing, for example.
Anyway, what are your thoughts? Does personalizing opinions like that make them better or worse?
