Reviews Quick Introduction

Is this restricted strictly to Anime & Manga, or can you branch out into music, books, films etc?
Or maybe just Asian films if not anything else?

 

Sweet a review forum, I have like a gizzillion reviews to unload for you guys

I use this format for anime someties, I hope its alright:

Code:

[b]Series:[/b]
[b]Release Date:[/b]
[b]Genre:[/b]
[b]Director:[/b]
[b]Writer:[/b]
[b]Creator:[/b]
[b]Number of Episodes:[/b]
[b]Overview:[/b]

[b]Personal Opinion:[/b]

 

That seems like a good format to me, what do youa all think? Anyway, I like the fact that this forum isn't restricted to what you can review (if that's what we have agreed on). Moderation descriptions on this forum is starting to scare me just a tad. Maybe you could be a little laid back at first?

 

I don't like to follow a format at all. It feels restrictive, and the way I write a review makes it a lot harder to write it to a particular style. I like to just talk about a series until I feel I've said everything important, and doing that works so much better than following a format, for me.

So, for what it's worth, I'd not want to see any kind of forced format, so I'm glad BMS decided to keep it without one.

 

Okay, sorry about not reading, that I just wanted to know if it was acceptable. I am glad its acceptable.

I also would like to a dd, that maybe you could set up a feature, that when a user makes X amount of reviews, the user won't be bothered by the moderation of posts thing.

 

I don't believe that's possible, but it's a nice idea. Ehh, just means you have to keep putting your best effort in all the time instead of just at first.

 

I impose we rate the thread. It would help some plus we would use that feature.

Only way an excellent would come out of me is if both the storyline and opinion were great.

 

So its our own style review, or is BJP going to have a set review form, so its always the same?

 

Very true. The more rating a thread gets, means that the Review was indeed more fair, and gives a better look at the rating.

Also, as said, the formats should be free to everyone.

Even if it's possible, just because one writes many reviews, doesn't mean that they are all good written.

So far, this Forum is going great, and it should keep this way. Of course, as it's popularity continues to grow, it should be expanded into three main groups:

*Anime and Manga
*Movies
*Games

But of course, that should be for the future.

Do we need certain requirements to post a review? Like certin post counts?

 

Nope. Anyone is free to post any any review on any anime/manga they wish. Anyone from the newest member to the oldest Admin can submit a review. BMS and I will review all entries and hand select which ones we're going to include on the master list.

Even though BMS stated that there are no set templates to create a review per say, I would still like all entries to include the title of the anime, a brief overview describing what it's about (sans possible spoilers, please) and a personal opinion based upon the postee's expirience with said anime/manga. You can add as much as you want, but for an entry to be seriously considered you should include at least all three of those topics.

If you see someone else's review and would like to submit your own for the same title, feel free to post it in it's own thread for our review. Just because someone posted a review before you did does not mean that particular anime/manga is off limits. What one person may like, someone else might not. Multiple reviews about the same anime shed light on all its sides and gives a viewer a more rounded, less biased view into which ever anime/manga they're interested in.

Have fun, and good luck.
