Is he? He still shows the common flaws of your average online review. Yes, I\'ve said this multiple times but it\'s a good point. Plus, I\'ve seen his reviews. When was the last time he brought up any technical points? As far as I can tell, he really only reviews the writing.

That\'s funny, because the writing is the first immediate sticking point regarding The Bland Mr. Personality of a Lobster. The technical aspects are... just fine, I guess.

At least The Real Yuma is making constructive posts in these review comment sections.

He didn\'t have to comment on nine separate reviews though.

No he didn\'t, but it\'s preferable to what I thought he was doing.

Well, I like him
Personally? I love most of his reviews. I love the way he tackles the material, the way he goes step by step, the way he doesn't act as if his opinion is the only one. He's just giving his opinion. While I will admit that, yes, he could go too far in his earlier reviews, when he did attack multiple writers directly, he's certainly mellowed out. You have to admit, he's learning from his mistakes and getting better. He's human. That doesn't excuse someone from making mistakes, but Mr. Enter is clearly trying to learn from them. That alone is much better than what many internet reviewers do, as they often just plant their feet and plug their ears.
I do agree that he does not do good rants, but when he calmly addresses a subject, he can take it down reasonably without coming off as "RAH! IMMA HATER!". Again, more than I can say for many internet reviewers. His points are good, well thought out, and very sound. Even if I disagree with his assessment at the end of some of his reviews, I have never felt angry, mainly because he doesn't really seem to push off his opinions onto other people as the only way. He talks about what he finds disgusting or unappealing, but he has multiple times stated that he wants his viewers to see the source material themselves to form their own opinion.
Don't think I dislike critics who can rage well, because I do like them. I watch the Nostalgia Critic reviews, but mostly for the comedy. I watch Mr. Enters for the well thought out reviews and good points he brings to the table. Again, so long as he stays calm and rational, he's an extremely good reviewer.
And, if you don't like one of his series, you can watch another. Mr. Enter is slowly and steadily branching out. Don't like his MLP reviews? Watch Animated Atrocities or Admirable Animations. Don't like either of those? Then watch "Eras of Animation", a new series he's started. Likewise, he's also started going over the worst animated shows of certain decades, and has stated that he might also go over the best shows of these decades as well.
In my eyes at least, he's a good critic, who not tackles many subjects, but promotes you getting your own opinion. Huh. What kind of critic is he to do that? Be actually good at his job as well as supportive?
