Yeah, I don't always read reviews, especially if I just come across something while browsing for something to watch. But, often if I'm going to add something to my to-read list I do read up on it first, to see if it matches what I'm imagining.
Some people really like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, as I said it's a classic, but I personally didn't like the way time travel was done, some plot holes were annoying, and the main character annoys me more than any other.
I would totally recommend Naruto! It really constantly improves the further into the series you get. My sister, INTJ, wasn't interested in it at the beginning, but she kept on because she liked Kakashi and she trusted my opinion. It is now tied with Yona of the Dawn for her top favorite anime and she is properly obsessed. There is so much good about that series, it just takes a bit of time to get into it.
