From the videos that I've seen of Enter, the biggest problem that he has is that he just doesn't seem to like what he does. He doesn't sound passionate about what he reviews. For someone who claims to love cartoons and animation, instead of analyzing the animation or plot, he just bitterly nitpicks. This is what sets him apart (negatively) from other reviewers, in my opinion. The great reviewers are the ones who are passionate and truly love what they do. It's easy to nitpick, but it's better to analyze and learn as much as you can about your craft.

Overall, I think the biggest thing he has to change is his attitude/outlook on what he reviews; he needs to lay off the bitterness.

So I decided to stop by Enter's YouTube just to see what new things he's reviewed and I saw he finally "talked" about Where the Dead Go To Die which is one of my favorite movies because it's so awful, so badly animated, so taboo and clearly pushing every button for shock value that I can't help but love it.

I hate giving Enter any views or even listening but fuck it I wanted to hear this.

What amuses me already is that he doesn't like to watch it because of the nudity. Disregard all the rape, bestiality, genital mutilation, incest, child porn, gore, ect. So he basically just goes on for 11 minutes saying that he doesn't understand it, how disgusting it is and how it's below reviewing. He acts like the movie gave him PTSD and then tells his fans not to give it any attention... Thus giving it attention.

And it sort of hit me that Enter doesn't understand artistic direction or a lot of adult themes. This shouldn't come as a shock to a man who reviews cartoon ponies and believes Spongebob has some of the worst torture porn in existence. However, I've realized Enter never reviews the quality of animation or anything on a technical level because he doesn't know the first thing about it. Thus, he has to stick with the only thing he knows which is the story and what is presented to him. If he doesn't like it or he doesn't understand it, it's already bad. He views everything on just the surface or burrows into his own traumatic experiences to justify why something is or isn't good. For someone who reviews something, this is a huge no. He really is just a big child, watching cartoons and then acting like he's actually the adult in the situation which insight and declares if it is worthy.

It's about as effective dropping a teenage kid on instagram into a war zone and expecting riveting journalism.

The point is Enter doesn't have a fucking clue what he's talking about.

This is why I refuse to support anything he does. When you've thrown yourself into a business, spent thousands of dollars and years on education, developed mild arthritis from just drawing to do what you love and then look and see someone your own age with no knowledge of the subject matter thinking he's hot shit, it pisses me off. Sorry for the slight ALog but it's true. It's why Growing Around will NEVER happen, as long as he's the one in control. He's worked out a good support group on the same mindset and maturity as him to pander to but as I said in an earlier post, that's about the lowest form of audience you can have. Unless he decides to educate himself and actually grow up and take the world on like an adult he won't get any new or former viewers back. He's a kid, appealing to an audience of kids. He might be able to drag in more people who are also stuck in the mind of an eight year old but any sane adults looking for engaging or insightful commentary are out of his league.

There's always going to be that lowest of the low audience and I suppose as long as someone is listening to you it's working but in my eyes and in the eyes of a lot of people he's just a kid who's found a used condom, gathered all the other kids to form a circle around it and comment on how disgusting it is but don't actually know a thing about it, why it's there and won't touch it without a three foot long stick.

Okay this gave me an idea and how I could give a shit about Enter.

He can expand outside of kiddie shit and take audience requests. I want his opinion on the French extremity films from the mid-2000's. I want his review on Martyrs dammit.

Not to get too off topic but I agree. If Enter goes into a week long depression over MLP I can only imagine what films like Martyrs, Irreversible, Inside and Frontier(s) would do to him. Personally I've love to see him try and tackle something like Begotten. But knowing him, he'll whine about the sex and violence and miss the themes of the story.

I'm never going to be a fan of Enter, because animation that wasn't made in the former Soviet Bloc doesn't interest me.

However, there's a couple of things that would make his output more tolerable:
1) Get some perspective. If you're upset/shocked by a cartoon to the extent that you're still shaken even a day later, you simply have not seen enough of both the terrible and the amazing things this world contains. Grow up.

2) Stop using that "because" construction: "then the writers did this...because random" "and this happened...because funny" "and Mr Enter proved to be insufferably grating...because repetitive and monotonous."

Cut out a bunch of this thread because of off-topic sperging. If you don't like posts that NJA makes, use the ratings system- don't derail the thread just to fuck with him. And NJA, try to stay on topic yourself and don't get all pushed out of shape when people shit on Enter. If he was any good at what he does he wouldn't have a thread here. You can have a dissenting opinion, but don't get aggressively autistic about it.

Yeah, he sure doesn't like animation.

The issue with his Admirable Animations as people have pointed out is that even in them he tends to find things to nitpick and he seems overall rather negative than trying to go into detail about why such things are good. It's fine to point out what doesn't work and to not blindly lavish praise on something without some kind of reason or context, but the way Enter goes about Admirable Animations doesn't compel me to want to go out and watch whatever he's praising. (Also it's not like the shows that he's praising aren't already cult classics that needed more attention to begin with.)

Plus, as some people have pointed out before, Enter dismisses a lot of older animations before his time and hasn't watched them, which, at best, just seems extremely ignorant of the media that he proclaims to be passionate about and want to criticize and, at worst, seems extremely disingenuous and harmful to his character as a "critic" of "animation." You can't just dismiss something because it isn't part of your tastes or before your time, and you especially can't decide to not view it as a result. For being an animation critic, the range of shows he's watched is actually pretty small.

If MrEnter did research on a topic before giving his opinion on it, this would be a step in the right direction. MrEnter's Education month could be a great chance for him to earn some respect if he actually does some research on how optimal education works instead of screaming about how terrible his schooling was. It really hurts MrEnter's credibility to hear him say things that are blatantly wrong regarding fields that I have studied, as I consequently become less trusting of what he says about fields I am not familiar with. I wouldn't say that this would make me an Enterbot however as this should be the bare minimum effort of any critic, something which MrEnter has failed to do on several occasions.

He should also stop letting his personal life experiences effect his view of an episode (Like with the Babs Apple and Testing episodes of MLP.)

Bringing his personal life experiences, when relevant, can help you see the episode in a whole new light whether or not you agree with him

Not when you use your anecdotes to generalize about a problem nor when you criticize an episode for not adhering to your anecdotes. Watch his One Bad Apple episode for proof of that, he implies that telling a parent about a bullying problem is a bad moral because he had bad parents, despite the scientific evidence suggesting that telling a parent is one of the best things that can be done in a bullying situation.
