I mean did anyone see his review of this OVA? Sage has been much \\\'\\\'harsher\\\'\\\' on Grave of the Fireflies and Neon Genesis Evangelion than he ever was with Makai Tensho.
The parameters for \\\"So Bad it\\\'s horrible\\\" dictate that the work must have zero fans in addition to not being a success in the market. It has to fail to satisfy even a niche audience. This is why cult films don\\\'t apply, because they are at least liked. Sage may have classified it as a bad anime, and made some pot shots at it with takes where the anime puts him in a coma numerous times because of it\\\'s sheer insanity, but the ultimate point of all that is that Sage found the anime pretty awesome despite the anime physically harming him.
I know however, that \\\"fans\\\" of works can be negated, allowing them to qualify for SSBIH. Usually being that the \\\"fans\\\" are extremely immature and/or delusional. For instance, FATAL, the ungodly infamous tabletop RPG had fans, they were called \\\"FATALites\\\", and according to rpg.net users, they bombarded their forums with boasts about how their \\\"rpg kicked every rpg\\\'s ass\\\", and rpg.net regulars described them as possessing the intellectual capacity of \\\"scrotum lint\\\", and speculated that they were all alternate accounts of the game\\\'s creator. Sonichu has exactly one ecstatic fan, the creator himself. Billy the Heretic, the infamous nazi comic has Nazi fans and we don\\\'t give a crap about the opinions of Those Wacky Nazis. Armond White is Armond White and his opinions are disregarded altogether. These so called fans are either creators of said works or generally don\\\'t have good reasons for liking what they like, and some are just gadflys by principle, going against the grain for the sake of going against the grain and nothing else.
While Sage has derided anime that many anime buffs, including myself found classic, like Grave of the Fireflies, Akira, and NGE, Sage is not a bad critic. Sage has definitely seen his fair share of anime and can intricately point out what he liked and did not like in any given work, and when he does, it is something objective, something in the work that everybody can see, and that is what qualifies one to be a media critic.
