Well not to derail the topic too much, but I think this is a misrepresentation of what a lot of people do sometimes. When I watch an anime at least, I'm not constantly thinking in my head about how an anime could be better or how the characterization or directing or whatever can be better. I simply watch and experience and react. Depending on how I feel I might try to rationalize my experience afterwards, but that doesn't mean I'm actively doing that while I am watching. The only time that would happen is when something is so ridiculously bad that I am taken out of the experience all together
