5	->''"Animation. I love animation. In fact that's why I created this blog. With animation you can tell some of the most beautiful, well-told, funny, creative, imaginative stories ever told. But like all great mediums there's crap"''
6	-->-- '''Evan, The Animated Critic''', on why he started the blog .
7
8	Animated Critic is a Blog run by Creator/EvanCrose with occasional help form his brother, Max (A.K.A. [[LetsPlay/EightBitMax 8 Bit Max]]). On the blog they {{review}} animation from WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants to WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy and even Anime.
9
10	He does many things on the blog:
11	* Animated Critic-This is the blog's main show. Here Evan reviews various animated things. He mainly does individual episodes of animated shows. The shows he mostly focuses on are WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants, WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse, WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy, WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic, and WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo, but he also reviews other shows like WesternAnimation/PigGoatBananaCricket, and WesternAnimation/TeenTitans just to name some. He also does movies as well.
12	* Anime Critic-A spinoff of Animated Critic just focusing on Anime instead.
13	* Evan Vs. Disney-Where Evan tries to review all the films in the Disney Animated Canon in order.
14	* Extra Thoughts-Here Evan gives extra thoughts on things he already reviewed. As well as just discussing any random topic in the animation community.
15	* Quick Thoughts-Here Evan reviews a newly released cartoon episode and gives some general thoughts on the episode. So it doesn't go through every scene of the episode like the Animated Critic. He mostly does WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse episodes. However he has said he is trying to talk about the show less and as such has done other shows like WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents and WesternAnimation/WeBareBears. He's also started to look at new anime series starting with Anime/FlipFlappers. He has said that episodes he covers on Quick Thoughts may later become Animated Critic episodes.
16	* Toon-O-Ween-A Halloween special that last all through October where Evan reviews horror related animations and Halloween specials.
17	* Max's Reviews-Evan's brother Max tackles animation. Pretty much whatever he feels like.

19	You can find the blog [[http://animatedcriticcartoon.blogspot.com here.]]
20	On November 18th 2015 Evan announced a Webshow would be made and would be a companion series to the blog. It's finally out and you can find it [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc9SqV-NuIxRW7hoL3apj3A here.]]

22	The show does also have a storyline in the same vein as WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall and is the first entry within the Franchise/AnimatedCriticUniverse.

24	!!!List of Tropes on The Animated Critic Blog
25	* AccentuateTheNegative:
26	** Averted. No matter how bad something he reviews is when he finds something done right he gives credit where credit is due.
27	---> "I gotta give credit where credit is due."
28	** At the end of every Animated Critic episode he details the worst part of whatever he reviewed and the best part so he always has atleast one positive thing to say.
29	** As for Quick Thoughts he goes through and individually list things he found good, bad or just meh
30	* ActuallyPrettyFunny:
31	** He points out a few good jokes in his Peter Problems review even though overall he found the episode unfunny and obnoxious.
32	** Also points out 1 or 2 good jokes in A Cleveland Brown Christmas.
33	** Also says this with WesternAnimation/{{Stripperella}} whenever the show sticks to being a parody of superhero tropes. Other than that Evan thinks it's an unfunny piece of crap.
34	* AccidentalMisnaming: Sometimes he forgets the name of a character. In most cases he just guesses on the name. The most infamous example being when he accidentally called Sadie from WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Sally in his review of the episode So Many Birthdays. He fixed the mistake in the Extra Thoughts for Chapter 1 and refrenced it in his Quick Thoughts of Sadie's Song.
35	-->"Remember when I accidentally said Sadie's name was Sally in my So Many Birthdays review. Yeah.....please stop reminding me of that. I already realized that mistake."
36	* AuthorAppeal: Of course, considering the entire blog is about animation something Evan loves.
37	** He also Focuses a lot on certain shows like WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse which is a show he absolutely adores in case you couldn't tell by how many Quick Thoughts he's done on the show.
38	*** In fact he's only done 2 other shows for Quick Thoughts, as of right now, dedicating one episode to each.
39	* AssPull:[[invoked]] Feels the card at the end of Peter Problems that allows Peter to continue working is one.
40	** Also the Monster Butt Remover from the first episode of WesternAnimation/PigGoatBananaCricket
41	%% * BerserkButton: Evan hates stereotypes.
42	%% ** He also has a disliking for jokes that drag on way too long.
43	* CallARabbitASmeerp: He references this trope during Quick Thoughts #7 which was a review of Too Far from WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse which focuses this trope heavily. He even links to the TV Tropes page for the trope. How nice.
44	* ChristmasEpisode: The Cleveland Brown Christmas review.
45	* GuardianAngel: [[spoiler: Kevin]] is revealed to be one in the end of Animated Critic #8. A review of The Finger from WesternAnimation/HarveyBeaks.
46	%%* HalloweenEpisode: Toon-O-Ween
47	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Like with CallARabbitASmeerp he refrences it and links to the TV tropes page for it during his [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Joking Victim]] review.
48	%%* PanderingToTheBase:[[invoked]] He considers WesternAnimation/PigGoatBananaCricket to be this.
49	%%* PetPeeveTrope
50	%%** NationalStereotypes [[invoked]] and CulturalStereotypes [[invoked]] (heck stereotypes of any kind peeve him off)
51	%%** OverlyLongGag [[invoked]]
52	%% * SeasonalRot: [[invoked]] Considers ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants, WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy, WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' to be examples of shows that have suffered through this.
53	* StoryArc: He does have a couple which is very unusual for a ReviewBlog
54	** The Kevin Arc: A mysterious person named Kevin comes onto the blog. Evan at first wants to know why an is kind of irritated by him, but as time goes on Evan starts to take a liking to him. It starts with Quick Thoughts #4 which is over Catch and Release from WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse and ends at Animated Critic #8 which is a review of the Finger form WesternAnimation/HarveyBeaks
55	** The Revenge From The Past Arc: A mysterious person comes onto the blog once again, but this time he or she says they want revenge on Evan for something he did. Evan has no recollection of it though. It starts with Quick Thoughts #8 which covers The Big Fairy Share Scare, The Season 10 premiere of WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents, and is still currently going on.
