In case you’re wondering about the context of that quote in today’s Journalista, it came in response to a tweeted question from Ed Sizemore (Manga Worth Reading, Manga Out Loud), which led to a lively discussion on the difference between a reviewer and a critic. A number of folks offered their thoughts on the subject, as did Dirk Deppey, so that’s where that was spawned. (Sometimes you don’t know you need a hash-tag until it’s too late to use one.) For the record, I don’t find I value either criticism or review over the other as a reader, though I do tend to enjoy writing reviews more.
And speaking of reviewers, Melinda (Manga Bookshelf) Beasi lists some of those she finds most reliable, and I’m flattered to be among them.
