Review Requests

[Nate]

Anyway, back on topic, someone in the YIM chat said they wanted to see a review for Those Who Hunt Elves, so I'll probably whip one up this weekend and submit it (it's only six episodes long, shouldn't take that much time).

[quote="Kumagoro"]Elfen Lied is a fantastic series. It’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, you’ve probably only encountered the graphic nudity in the opening animation sequence and Lucy running around naked exploding people’s heads. It's not all blood and guts and naked girls]
I don't want to start up discussion on this again, but I think this is a good place to ask a question: how is the Elfen Lied anime handled? I didn't watch the anime for many reasons, but I do read the manga. Considering that it is still going, how did they end/develop the anime? If you feel this question will only derail the thread, feel free to PM me your answer.

I would like a Roujin Z review. It's the only Otomo anime I have yet to watch.

[Momo-P]

I believe it's finished so...is anyone going to do a review for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? Cuz I'm interested in it, but would like a full review. ^^;

[GrubbTheFragger]

I wrote up a Magic Knight Rayearth review yesterday. And I won't be doing a Elfen Lied review at least I don't think I will.

Hmmm, I could probably do one. I'd have to review the series, so it will take a little while. However, I'll do my best to get one done.

[Ashley]

I know someone else who's also interested in the series (it's his favorite), so count this as an anonymous bid for a certain Mr. X

[Hittokiri04]

I would like to do a review for Karas the first movie. If that is ok.

Hittokiri, that's actually a series. It'd be better to do all the volumes.

[MorwenLaicoriel]

I know I'm mostly a frequent lurker, so it might be a bit of an odd request, but...is it OK if I do a review of Princess Tutu? I've just ordered the entire series off of Deep Discount DVD, and I have a feeling I'm going to go through it all as quickly as I can anyway, so...why not review it?

That is, unless there's already a review pending.

[Mithrandir]

I do not see a pending review, so I'd say go ahead!

[Hittokiri04]

Really? You sure its not a movie I am talking about Karas: The Prophecy. Is that something different than I origionaly refered to?

He did refer to what you were thinking Kara's the prophecy is a series

^_^ Thank you! I already have the first disc out from Netflix, so I'll go ahead and get a start on it...XD

Ah ok then I'll watch the whole series before reviewing unless someoneelse has already dome so.

[freerock1]

I'd like to claim a review for Diamond Daydreams.

[Mithrandir]

Don't claim it; do it. Too many people claim series they never actually do, which leads to the problem we have below.

The list here is too unweildy to maintain (accoding to the first post, anyway). Gypsy has threatened to go through and re-work the list, but for now it's a bit out of date (like, a year).


If we get a good review before you finish yours, we'll probably take that one.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

Am I allowed to do Battle Royale I and II? Both are live action movies based off a novel. They do have a manga counterpart however.

[freerock1]

[quote="Mithrandir"]Don't claim it]
Now you know what I mean. Wiseguy.

But I understand why you would feel the need to post a reminder. To me this thread is a courtesy to clarify who wants to review what, and I wouldn't volunteer a review if I weren't, as Gypsy said, "serious about writing it and [couldn't] do so in a timely fashion." But I realize that not everyone complies with that request. Hence we end up with a severely out-of-date request/volunteer list.

At the moment, no. The anime database is really just for anime. You could review the manga if it hasn't already been done, but that's a matter for a different thread.

[rurouninaruto]

vandread, please.

[Rhenao]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I went back six pages and I didn't see it.

Could someone please put up a review of Trinity Blood before it airs on [adult swim] on September 9th? It seems interesting but I'm worried that it might have some satanist themes, so I'd like to read a Christian review before watching it.

Thanks in advance!

[uc pseudonym]

I don't recall any significant discussion of that title. While I can't review it (having seen only a preview at a convention and some Japanese episodes) I could give you a basic answer as to the content question:

There are no Satanist themes unless the series takes a bizarre twist later on. Plenty of violence, plenty of vampires, plenty of religious details from authors who didn't do any research about Christianity. But actually, the main character is somewhat like a real priest and his faith appears to affect his life. It's far from Christian, but worlds above Hellsing, for example.

[Rhenao]

Okay, thanks a lot! I really appreciate it. ^^

[rocklobster]

I would like to see the Maison Ikkoku anime reviewed. I already read the manga and I love it, so I was wondering how similar they are.

[Radical Dreamer]

Just wondering if I could write up a review of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. I finished the series (the first season) some time ago, and wondered if anyone else was planning on writing up a review for it.

[rurouninaruto]

Could someone write reviews to eureka 7, gun x sword and king of bandits jing, please? thanks!

[Gypsy]

I'm working on a new request list, so we'll get all this straightened out soon - the meantime, keep posting requests!

[rocklobster]

While you're at it, how about updating the reviews with those ones I wrote so long ago! (Note: I'm not really impatient, I'm being sarcastic)

[rocklobster]

While you're at it, could you post my reviews that I gave you so long ago? I'm not really impatient here, I'm just joking around.
