Precedent indicates the best way to change things would be to find the thread for that review in this forum and bring up exactly what you feel was left out. That way people can see in the thread, and perhaps there will even be changes to the official review, if there is general agreement.

I know that there are links to the review in the thread, but perhaps there should be links from the review to the thread as well, so that those looking into a certain anime could more easily look in on the discussion.

That has been suggested before, and I think it is a good idea, but I'm not sure what the response was previously. In any case, it hasn't been implemented as of yet. Meanwhile, I would invite everyone to use the variety of selective search options available to them.

could someone here pm me if they've seen Saikano? I want to know if it's any good

I had a mountain of PMs (oh, stop giggling already) waiting for me when I signed back on CAA (internet problems, weird work schedule, and saving the world were just some of the reasons for my recent absence). No one has lost a review, they are all still in there. Yep, it's been forever, but what the heck else is new?

I'd also like to mention that Osaka is my hero for helping out with review editing and submissions. I won't leave you hanging for much longer, honest! ^^;

Put me down for Fushigi Yugi the tv series (if there's a movie, I'll be happy to track that down, too...) I looked in the pending reviews and didn't see anything, but if by some oddball chance of fate I'm stepping on someone's toes, just tell me. But it WAS listed as requested, so...just doing my civic service. ^^

Oh, girl, ain't no problem.

Anyways, I owe everybody who's submitted a big apology for how few reviews I've moved since I started helping. For real guys, next week, my first week of summer, those review are gonna have a change in location. For real, we will clean out the database* and get those reviews approved.

*All promises made by Osaka are subject to retraction at anytime.

The list at the beginning of the thread say 2005. So I'm assuming it's not up to date? I noticed that Ai Yori Aoshi isn't in the review database, and I will be watching it again in it's entirety soon, but I don't want to 'steal' it.

Postby **Gypsy** » Wed May 31, 2006 7:37 pm

No, the list is no longer up to date, sorry. For anyone who is interested, I wrote up a "how to" on submitting reviews. It's long, so I don't actually expect anyone to read it.

*from one who did not take the time to read this 46-page thread entirely*: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, please... I'd try to do it myself, but I'm a newbie here....

I forgot to state my intentions for writing a Mermaid Melody Pitchi Pitchi Pitch and MMPP Pure review (I'm almost done with the series, and the OVA is only 6 eps).

Postby **Puritan** » Tue Jun 06, 2006 8:29 pm

Hmm, I noticed that there was no review up for RahXephon: Pluralitas Concentio and that Hitokiri had offered to do a review back in December, was anything ever done on that? If he's not intending on doing it I'd be happy to work on one over the weekend (it is only a movie, so I should be able to write a review of it reasonably quickly). Plus I'd be happy to work on a review for Banner of the Stars (and Banner of the Stars II later on) as it appears the series has been requested but not reviewed.

Postby **uc pseudonym** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 5:00 pm

There isn't a review pending for either of those series, though I can't speak for Hitokiri.

Postby **Puritan** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 7:01 pm

I'll PM him then, thanks.

Postby **Hitokiri** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 1:58 pm

I guess time slipped past haha.

I won't mind at all! I have some sextra time so I write it up right now! Thanks for PM'ing me Puritan!

I am no longer going to review Gundam Seed Destiny as I am unable to finish it. Anyone else is welcome to it.

Postby **Gypsy** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 2:18 pm

Ok ... all submitted reviews should be up now. If not, then you should have gotten a PM from me explaining why. Sorry that I let them pile up like that, and I'll do my best not to let it happen again.

As for the list at the beginning of this thread, I'm officially zapping it. It's so out of date it's not worth salvaging. I'll make another one soon, but ... not today. -_-

Thanks, Osaka, for all the behind the scenes work you did on editing reviews! I saw traces of you while I was editing and it made my job a lot faster. ^^

Postby **CDLviking** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 2:13 pm

Well, I've finally done the R.O.D. review that I promised over a year ago. Sorry for the delay everyone.

Postby **Kumagoro** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 1:34 pm

I'd like to write a review for Loveless.

Just to let everyone know, I have started Saikano. I'll review it as soon as I watch the whole thing.

Ah, scratch that. The whole thing's been removed. Drat!!!!

I'll be getting a review of Elfen Lied pretty quickly here. I am starting it today.

Postby **gogogoh3** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 4:15 pm

noooooo, don't start it, it terrible, in my eyes I couldn't even stand the first 5 min of the eps.

Elfen Lied is a fantastic series. Itâ€™s one of the best anime series in recent years. Sure, it's horrendously bloody and violent, but don't judge whether a series is "good" or "bad" entirely on its objective content. Seeing as you only saw the first five minutes of the first episode, youâ€™ve probably only encountered the graphic nudity in the opening animation sequence and Lucy running around naked exploding peopleâ€™s heads. It's not all blood and guts and naked girls; there's a story there (and it's quite a good one) too, you know.

Postby **gogogoh3** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 5:23 pm

well, the thing is I have the full 13 eps series but I can't just stand the violence and gor. there are other anime else with better story and less gor that that anime. I won't argue because I haven't see the whole thing but from by exp. I just sense it was just too much for me =)

Postby **kaji** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 8:33 am

I think you summed it up for me as well. If there is graphic nudity and gore in the first few min, I dont really care how good the story is.

There isnt really anything objective about it. By watching a show like that you are not only letting needless crud into your heart and mind, but you are supporting a system that promotes those things.

Excuse the cheasy saying, but in more ways then one, 'you are what you eat' (or ingest).

Anyway, I wanted to ask if anyone was doing a review for Major yet? I just finished the first season and wanted to write somthing up. I realize that there is already a second season (which I have not seen) but the first was pretty much an entire story in its self and the second season takes place much later in the main characters life (where different situations or content might warrent a different rating).

So... Let me know what you think. ^_^

The key is for each person to know their limits, but also to be aware of the limits of others. Simply because you are able to tolerate something doesn't mean that others will give it the same leeway you do. Conversely, if something bothers you, that doesn't automaticly make it the most offensive show on the air and scourge of Christians everywhere.

True, but why wait untill somthing is unbearabley offensive before you restrict you self? The worlds standard of what is offensive should not nessisarily be the same as the Bibles. Just because you may see lots of things that are worse does not automatically make this ok.

My point is that we cannot deny that our choices in areas like this have a farther reaching effect then our own spiritual lives. By buying, watching, or even just downloading somthing like this, you are promoting it. Your choices have a dirrect impact on the people who make the stuff down to the person whom this may cause to sin, reguardless of your own intentions.

Sorry, I guess this is all off topic. :sweat:

Postby **CDLviking** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 12:51 pm

My point is that there is no such thing as a "standard" of what is and is not offensive, worldly or biblical. There are standards on what is right and wrong, but not on how much of the portrayal of those things is tolerated.
