This is an anime/manga review forum ONLY! Only reviews are allowed!

Posts may require validation by a moderator so if your post does not appear, DO NOT RESUBMIT. If your post has not been approved after a week, please PM me (OminousCloud).

There have been some changes to the rules, the new rules are as follows

General rules:
1. Post reviews ONLY
2. No questions like “Where to dl this anime?!?!?!?!111zomgoenone”. Just go to the nearest rental/shop and rent/buy it >_> Also, no links to illegal sites (warez).
3. DON’T TAKE REVIEWS FROM OTHER SITES. We only need your own opinion.
4. No swearing.
5. Write reviews in an article format (see below)
6. Do not forget to create a poll, not a simple thread with poll titled "Rate this anime!" with options 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
7. Don't spoil more than necessary. If the spoiler is serious and shouldn't be read by those who didn't watch it, use spoiler tags. The code for spoiler tags is [*spoiler] Type stuff here [*/spoiler] with the * removed
Example: He dies!
8. DO NOT bump old threads!

Additional Notes:
1. Anime/Manga Reviews will no longer be one series one thread. This means that I will no longer maintain or update an Index List. To make searching easier, you may want to add tags to your thread.
2. Good quality reviews will be cross-posted to AnimeGlobe.com

What you should mention in a review:

In the title box, before the title, please post the adequate type of the anime - [movie/TV series/OVA/manga]

Additonal titles, the studio, and when it aired/was completed(year) - feel free to omit any of these you don't know

Reviews should be written in an article format. There should be some sort of introduction and conclusion/rounding off statement. The following points should be presented in the article as paragraphs NOT written under subheadings. Do not forget to attach some screen caps or other suitable images.


Type: TV series, manga, OVA, movie and if it's not a movie - number of episodes.
Genre:

Plot synopsis/ Summary

Story (rating x/10 optional)
...
Characters ( rating x/10 optional)
...
Art/animation ( rating x/10 optional)
...
Voice acting, music rating x/10 optional) - excluded in manga reviews
...
Overall (x/10)
...

Include an attached picture or pictures!


Some tips on how to write a review:
• Don’t write like ‘omg the plot is sooo awesome its just l33t zomg I wub it’ – clean English only. If it’s not your main language or you are not sure then spell checker is your (and my) best friend.
• Try to spoil only as much as necessary. If the spoiler is serious and shouldn't be read by those who didn't watch it, use spoiler tags.

Rules to be updated within the week. I feel like since AG is aiming for a different direction than when this rule thread was made, its time to have a new rule thread made.
