Go watch Gundam Orphan, OPM is cool, but there's no actual story to follow most of the time, it's just moments of bad-assery mixed in with moments of plot development. It's a very comic-book-esqiue story telling, and it's damn good, damn damn good, but it's not the anime I've come to know and love.
Gundam Orphan, is the anime I've come to known and love, and beseech everyone here to give it a shot.
I have 2-3 reviews incoming, just take some time to type up. |

Everything Dies wrote:TLR:D2 is being awfully nice and releasing two BluRays this month. Just caught episodes 5 & 6 uncensored and damn, with Nemesis they finally have a true adversary for Momo. Their battles for Rito's attention should be epic! 6 episodes out? Guess it's time to give it a look.
Waiting on S2 Testament uncensored before watching, as well. And Valkyrie or w/e it's called that Funimation picked up, it's worse then queens blade, isn't it? I may just skip it.
other then that this season of anime has been surprisingly good. Originally I called this the worst season, but OPM, Gundam, Bones, The Perfect Stranger, Yuru Yuri S3, Order is a Rabbit S2, and Utawarurumonu changed my mind.
The three action shows, * Wars, Chivalry of a failed knight, and Anti-Magic Academy have ultimately been failures, and almost rip-offs of each other. It's a shame out of 3 attempts at a High school action show, we get another Magic Wars failures.
Chivalry tried to stay interesting by involving a strong love element into the equation, really enticing fans to want to get to know them more as a couple rather then individuals, and that's good, because by themselves they both fail as characters.
* Wars is much move beautifully animated, or high budgeted, and with a more interesting foreshadowing going on to greater things as schools make moves to out-wit one another, but it ultimately dwindles down to a basic hero saves the day formula because no one else can or will for whatever reasons. Thus making every good choice our no-brain hero make seem more heroic then it actually is. But then again, the rest of *Wars side cast is growing rather well, and it could be something better down the line.
But Anti-Magic Academy is just a failure in too many levels to be taken seriously, even though it's backed by some gorgeous animation. But the foundation of the show is built upon the MC's relationship with the rest of the squad, and in almost every one of them there relationship feels so contrived and forced that everything the show does seems invalid for the attempt. The functions of the school weren't explained properly to even explain how inexperienced members can form a squad to function as a unit, and we're supposed to believe a chain of command exist when everything functions like a high school. It's just confusion, from top to to bottom.

All of the shows this seasons are nothing but cliche characters, with the exception of The Perfect Stranger, Bones, and Gundam. It's becoming almost painful these days how predictable behaviors are, or how often times what actually happens is much worse.
The need for a loli in every show, and the lack of any real seriousness. Shows fail to create tension and continues to bring you over a wall in expectations like Gurren Lagean did. A Lul in the Sea, Your Lie In April, Clannad, they didn't use some out there story or setting, but with beautiful visuals and animation and amazing character growth, you get the very essence of what I enjoy in anime.
the recent formula of cute + MC = cha ching is getting old. Most relationships do not work like this, and a clearer line of realism would be appreciated. I'm not saying fantasy is wrong, but to flesh it out more, explain the mechanics behind your magic, science, and cultures. I want to like a show like Strike the Blood, but it gave such a shallow ******* explanation of the world and how it's different that I can't relate to events, and characters are treated similarly. Some of them, anyways.
To Love Ru does a much better job in bringing life to there cast, and it's a stupid as **** show. It can do pretty much whatever it wants because it has a large cast of capable developed characters who are down for insanity, so you're always wondering what's going to happen in the next episode with so many serious characters and all of your understanding of them.
That's a show done right. And anime seems to be forgetting this in favor of forced action scenes and melodrama, using cliched moments instead of being creative.
The Comedy side of anime seems to get this, but the action is falling far behind. And we don't seem to be getting many romances lately......... |

Non Non B really isn't all that special, it'll only hook you if the characters do, and these easy going, laid back characters can be quite easy to enjoy. And it helps they're not cliche'd, but instead create there own cliche moments the series suffers from.
You'll eventually get bored of hearing the same joke told a different way, of how country the country is, and it kinda irked me how easy they made life in the country seem, while in contrast Wolf Girl showed how hard it actually is.
But my god is the scenery gorgeous. The use of shadows too, just sublime. Out of the three big moe shows, Order is a Rabbit, Yuru Yuri, and Non non B, NNB is definitely the most visually pleasing.
But it doesn't actually separate itself from the others, it's the same tempo and beat, just different jokes.
Yoru Yuri is the only moe show that takes it to the never level by making slice of life fun.
The other shows just don't inspire anything other then moments of moe. They won't make you laugh, but they will make you smile, big.
Lucky Star has better development then those shows, so that should also say something.
Over-all, NNB - 7.5 OIAR - 8, characters are more interesting and a plot actually develops somewhat. Yuru Yuri - 9 A solid show in many levels, and it actually does have gorgeous animation, especially after season 2. |

Kail Mako wrote:and an atmosphere that could put you to sleep if you aren't careful This was kind of the problem, I did fall asleep, lol.
It's one of those shows I couldn't marathon, I had to go watch something else eventually to put some wind back into my sails.
I also didn't particularly like the characters, you got your obnoxious, no talent middle sister who we can only hope maturity helps, her older sister with an identity crisis, which is kinda hilarious sometimes, but it's a way to long on going joke with her and makes nearly all her scenes predictable in outcomes.
Then there's that loli, her quirky, young, and kinda clueless questioning of everything is actually quite adorable, and they try to build her up like the rest of the cast with small side stories showing different sides of the them..
Problem is, these elements being added to the characters only get shown or has meaning in those moments. The cast will reunite, then go back to how they were, all development be damned.
When you're show isn't that funny, relying on relaxing under-tones and moe, it's generally not a good thing that your series inspires sleep and relaxation when it spouts a joke every few moments.
I'm too critical in this department of story telling to ignore how lazy NNB actually is, never daring to take development to the next level and give us an actual story. It's pretty episodic in comparison to Rabbit and YY, and it's strange because both of those shows are way more over the top.
Did I mention how absolutely gorgeous NNB scenery is? |

Re-watch Chiaka Coffin Princess S1 *DUB*:
If I was to get critical on this show it would start to look like I hate it. From the shittiest character creation I have EVER seen, to a incomplete setting, to crappy motivations, and even inconsistent animation, this show has strike after strike against it.
But you know what? I still enjoyed it.
So what the MC is single minded and his sister is one dimensional, so what is Chiaka is a walking doll whose probably hallow inside, and so what the rest of the cast is cut and copy replica's of any other show you could pick up and watch. IT WAS FUN DAMNIT!
And isn't that what's important, sometimes? Every so often, maybe once in a while?
The Dub to this show helps with the fun, but the Sub is infinitely better. And no, it's no longer a thing for Subs to be instantly better, these days Dubs have stepped it up majorly. I can name several shows, recent releases, that sound better in English. Wanna fight bout it? xD
This wasn't one of 'em, though, but it was close. They just didn't change the VA's tone enough, they sounded too alike from other characters in other shows, kept bringing me out of the experience and I fondly remembered them.
But back on story, Chiaka plot is actually pretty solid, it keeps you questioning what's going on, involving you in the story a lot further then you'd imagine from such a retold cast. But it comes together well, with the comedy moments bringing out the intensity of the drama as often as it makes you chuckle, it's just a smooth flowing show.
This may actually be an example of how a good director can take a ****** story and characters and make something good out of it.
I could say so much more, a lot happens in so few episodes, but I'll just stick with the over-all opinion:
Twas fun, twas engaging, twas worth a watch. It's real strength is the mystery element of the show, gaining steam as the questions become more and more epic without changing what the question is. Great development, can't really say much more, lol. |

Shonin Sample - a slice of life, high school romance. The twist? A guy in an all girls school. Why? To help the girls better prepare for life after campus protection.
Does it make sense one guy is burdened with this? Nope.
Do I care?
Nope.
I watched the Dub only so far, and only just for some background noise. It looked cute, had decent looking art, and seemed simple enough to follow.
and it's all that, packaged well enough to grab my attention from my game to watch the show instead. The energy and enuthisasm is infective, and the progression and developments put a huge smile on my face.
I really enjoy this show, not a bad character, and Blondie is rather interesting with how she switches back from girl in love with MC to a possible Yuri.
And the part with the Yuru Yuri manga tickled the hell outta me :D |

A little news;
We've talked about our own forums and site, and it's still going to be some time. Me and a friend recently purchased AnimeGrinder.com, and before we release the forums we wanted to set up the website first.
It'll be a bit basic and ugly at first, but we'll be recording reviews in different formats, official, staff made, or special reviews will be shared on it's own web page, complete with links and possibly even the stream itself.
The more unofficial ones will be found in the forums, where comments and discussions can be more thorough. Of course the website will link back to any amateur reviews.
The site will focus on news and events related to Anime, VN's, LN's, and Manga, and organizing reviews for people to not only find the show they're looking for, but a particular reviewer whose on point with your interest.
In that regard, we'll eventually be designing our own profiles to help
And if John is able or willing, I'd like to include our own chat, complete with video streaming to watch shows together. |

Yea, great show. I have yet to see season three I realize... and that needs fixing.
There's 2 loli's, both great. One's just an awesome character, the other is funny as hell.

Well then you'll be glad with Season 3. Mind you i've only watched 2 episodes of it, but if you've seen season 1 and 2, you'll definitely see how much better she's getting. That is, absolutely amazing to hear, lol.
I sincerely just adore Workings cast. From the sword girl and the blonde guys relationship, to the store owner, even the MC is pretty awesome with how open he is about being a 'sort of' lolicon. Not too mention his family, the younger sister brings dimension and depth to the show.
It was just that orange hair girl holding everyone back, and the show seemed to enjoy torturing me with her lol |

RWBY**********Spoiler Alert*********
The latest episode was, just a mess. What the show has been and what it's turning into are two very different things. I was ready for it to start taking a serious turn, but 4 goddess of seasons? And they appear one at a time? They revealed a third side job for the adults in the cast, starting to wonder if they do anything but work, it's starting to seem unreasonable how closed mouthed this is. Mainly because it's seem completely stupid to leave your citizens ignorant of threat. It's not like they don't really already know, being surrounded by walls, and dying when they try to leave. So... wtf?
And the reason they choose red head - meh, you fight well, may as well risk losing our best fighter in hopes of gaining power. It's not like it could go inside anyone of any strength and not be just as powerful. So it's pretty obvious they plan to pit her up against the other half, whose obviously in cat girl prowling the school.
And to top it off, blondie getting arrested.... did no one, out of those 10,000+ people, see the guy fly a meter to jump kick her? Really? No one saw the guy fly half across the stage and yell at her while doing it? No one is able to record but the TV crews?
Again, what the ****? |

It made sense to hide the Goddesses, not the Grim or there threat.
And the other students in the academy are anything but 'random', but I guess it boils down to how useful or practical the powers are.
And wait, that guy has illusion abilities? When was this used o.0 |

Kail Mako wrote:They aren't hiding the Grimm. Everyone knows about them. What they're hiding is an impending threat from a shadowy organization. The people of this world are supposed to be unified. If the populace finds out a war is brewing it could get ugly real fast.
It's been repeatedly stated, and shown that Pyrrha is the best of the students. She single-handedly took out another team at the school. If I'm going to war I want my very best to fight. Again, given the choice of having FA or AE fight with me I'll choose AE. Sure, FA is good, but I know that AE is better.
Mercury doesn't, but it's speculated that Emerald can mess with people's heads, and it's known that Neo has illusion powers. Remember when she fought Yang in S2, and she kept teleporting around? Also, think about when they fought Coco, and Yatsuhashi of team CVFY. They used illusions there too when Coco was in the forest, and she saw the fake Yatsuhashi. Or think to the first episode of the third season when they asked about the other teammates for Mercury's team. You saw Cinder and Neo in disguises. Whereas Cinder was just wearing a different outfit, Neo had a complete appearance change including her hair, and eye color. So she was probably using illusions to maintain a different appearance. Why do I remember none of this? Yay for a reason to re-watch!
I'm still iffy on choosing there best fighter with a failure rate chance. It may seem reasonable to you guys, but to me, it's like taking two different quality bulbs and deciding which to use on an outlet that may explode it. Both will light the room up, one will just do it better, so which do you take the chance with?
If they tried it out, experimented putting it into another girl, it would of made more sense to me. They have the ability to do this whenever they want, why do they not test it on a loyal subject, rather then fire by trial with there best? The reasons they gave were going to be issues regardless if they put her at risk or not, so why risk it?
And why would they expect panic from people who are used to being walled into cities for protection from monsters? How do they get food or supplies from within the city? We've seen it's landscape - there's no way it's self-sufficient. How is a world with so many threats so unprepared to handle them? And the world is not united, it's divided by four countries, who don't necessarily like each other. I think?
This is the point in the story where I start to question the sanity of everyone living in it. And my skeptical nature tends to keep hitting me on the side of the head until I reason it out. If people are capable of doing Final Fantasy Advent Children moves with training, why aren't there more people trying? Does it make sense to anyone else that a modern day city operates functionally with Saurouns (Lord of the Ring, I suck at spelling names lol) forces constantly surrounding it, growing, adapting, and becoming more powerful?
That bugs me. The choices bug me. It's like no one believes they're in a world that wants them dead. How long have they been in those cities? |

Those are a dime a dozen, it's a almost a 'thing' for a decent anime to include christmas and use it to highlight or bring closer the relationships. And then it will be followed with a shrine visit for new years.
You can almost pick any show with a Slice of Life element and be assured of a christmas episode. But the best ones are from Romances, like Clannad, Toradora, Romcom, etc, because they put more emphasis on the holiday and it's theme of togetherness. |

It all boils down to how powerful the Goddess actually are. If it's overwhelming, they don't need someone already beefed up, if it's just a complentary power, then yea, she is obviously the best pick.
But it's being forced because the other half was stolen. So it's obvious why they wanted the best, but not obvious why they'd put her at risk with an untested device. If it can rip it out of one girl, it can do it to two, or 3, or 4.
And one point confuses me, Red Head had a duel with that guy who Blondie beat, but the show was playing it like he could beat her whenever. But when he faced blondie, he wanted to win, and still lost.
anyone else catch that? |

there's even OVA's dedicated as christmas episodes for some shows. Love Hina for sure has one.

You make valid points, except for the reasonings for the set up.
People are not going to Boo louder then they cheer, so to get the best and loudest reaction possible, you'd want to give the best matches possible. So taking out a contestant with dirty tricks would mean less matches, less cheering.
And the fact the Grim can hear what's going on concerns me - is City life really so quite? Has no one ever done anything before where a lot of people got together and just... partied? No loud music, nothing?

I also caught up on Noragami, and I just love this shows dynamic. It has slap stick, almost immature comedy, then just blows your mind with a moment dark enough for Elfen Lied. The contrast keeps everything fresh, but it's those dark moments that the show builds on it's dramatics, gives meaning to the plot, and let's the characters grow in a very natural way. Intense experiences changes us, but when we share those experiences, they bring us together in strong ways. But how would those experiences effect a person whose lived centuries?
Between that aspect, the gods relationship with each other, the Reglia's relationship with... everyone, and throw in great romance, great fights, and a cast of great characters, a large cast, this show has everything going for it. It even has some nice twists.
Heavy Objects I checked out: Another show that took me by surprised this season with just how good it was. It isn't mech vs mech, it's flesh v machine, and it's hilarious and interesting. |

And I seriously need to finish Your Lie In April someday.... It pains me to say it...but you can probably skip the first two seasons of TLR and just start with the OVAs of the second season. I've seen the first two season at least 4 times, I have no problem with it, I like the cast enough, plus it's the entire setting and chemistry building the show relies on.
But I may start with Darkness just for th fact I've only seen it through twice, lol. |

We'll be giving you guys a sneak peak release of the site so you can see how ugly it is, lol.
The forums are fully operational, and the account ties to the site itself.
We have no graphic artist to create a skin so the template is the basic one. The list is still being created and organized, and the individual pages for each show is still under construction, but the format and outline you'll be able to see clearly.
A review has been added t some of them, but they'll be replaced the closer we get to finishing and start partnering up with reviewers for there content.

We also set up an 'editor' rank to anyone who wants to add to the site. The template to create pages is available to copy and paste, then you just fill in the blanks and add images - wallah, you've just expanded the site. |

We only started inputting information yesterday after setting up the HTML's and plugins, so it'll look dry and empty, but if you click reviews, then any link besides Okamisan *Fell asleep while doing it lol* then you'll see the format in which reviews will be organized and shared, and we have several ideas to expand it further, we just want to finish filling in the list and make all the pages. |

I'll probably revisit in a little while once it gets running. What's the point anyway? Is it supposed to be a large database like MAL?
It has a lot of refining to do, we'll get there step by step.
I'll ask our main WM what's wrong with the avatar's pictures.
And the point of the site is several things:
1) Organize and compile all reviews of anime into one spot for easier browsing which will naturally lead to point 2. The WM wants to take it to the next level and include streaming, so a 'watch' button will be next to the reviews, eventually. 2) a recommendation data-base, much like Anime-Planet, but without there messy coding. Brought to you by the reviewers, and not the community. For more on point suggestions, rather then 'They have this one thing in common, so try it out!' that AP does. 3) a Facebook for anime, in a sense. Complete with groups and the ability to create organizations and content through us. Profiles will enable control of groups, mass mail, and easy communications, paired with a custom chat system and forums. 4) A custom chat linked to site and forums complete with host streaming and channels.
and last but not least:
Our own forums to control.
There's more idea's being thrown around, but until we get a graphics artist we'll be keeping things simple. |

I'm already enjoying having our own forums. Fixes on the Karma system will come SoonTM Very nice. Enjoying the evolution of the website. Side notes: Will you be giving out elevated positions to some of us? I wouldn't mind being a moderator, if that isn't too much to ask for. Also, what's the difference between CodeMirror and TinyMCE? I'd also be careful of allowing some pictures such as gifs. The last thing I need is to have a page that reminds me of MySpace and epilepsy. Maybe signature limits? Signature limits will be in placed at a later time, people to tend to go crazy with them and just spam a huge signature, which makes threads looks very chaotic.
as for ranks - yes, there's a level of trust already built between all of us, so ranks for the forums will be given out as needed. There's even separate ranks for the website for those who want to contribute further. Neither ranks will allow much power outside of deleting articles, kicking, and banning. Random, useless do nothing ranks can be created too, just for title purposes.
as for your question, Code can be used as a plugin for tiny, one works with HTML, the other Java, so they tend to work compatibly.
but i honestly know very little about it, our web master would have more information.

I failed to upload like 5 images, so I went and google searched what was going on with size, and those were the numbers I found. I'd really appreciate it if you could find the truth to that matter.
I'm still debating wether or not to enable gifs in the signature. I likely will allow it after limiting signature size, but it does come some people issue when too many Gifs are on one page.
Of course, we have it set that after 6 posts it moves onto the next page to help combat those sort of issues, so we'll have to see. |

And just to get this out here - I'll still be posting in this thread, at an obviously decreased rate as time goes on.
but I suspect after a few months the transfer over to the new forum/site will be complete. But it's possible to link the website/forums from Anime Grinder back to here.
By which I mean I'm trying to figure a way to continue this thread by linking it to the site as it's own forum section. This obviously comes with problems, and eventually we'll be aiming to increase our forum activity in order to get noticed from both sponsors, ads, google, and new members.
more then likely we'll add a 'game' section, and Dust will get it's own sub-section, and a thread in it will have the same exact name as this thread, with nothing but a link leading to here with a description of Dust.
Just a thought, really. I would hate to just straight abandoned this thread, it has some real history. But time moves on, and all things come to an end. |

Nothing to really report on the anime side of things... I guess I'm a failure. You are not a failure! I can easily edit it for you if you wish, i believe the current limit is 200x200 (i think that is what kaze said) If I can I'll repost it later. For now, I'll stick with this. With any luck you'll be able to get them to like 720x720. So Enlightened... Have you basically just abandoned your YT channel Enlightened Otaku? Nope, will actually being going to college to take some courses.

Quote: Higurashi, if I'm not mistaken was actually adapted from a Visual Novel. One that you can buy if you use Steam. (If you do use Steam the big Christmas sale is coming up on the 22nd). Oh, and I know it by the name When They Cry. I also heard that it has stuff to do with yanderes?
This show and Shuffles is what made Yandere's so popular, and this is an entire cast of Yandere's. Think of 5-6 Yuno's, all waiting to lose there minds.
Quote:Ah, I understand. I've been subscribed to you channel since it came out, and wondered what was going on with it. As for the site.... I get a cool title right? I mean, I totally deserve it right? Maybe I can refine some of my reviews....
Come up with a title name, we'll get it added eventually, lol. Just be reminded guys, on the Admin side of things, a lot of titles gets very messy, go easy on us.
Quote:Speaking of reviews, with this season coming to a close I think it's time to start thinking about those. I never write a script beforehand, but I do think about what I'm going to say before I start typing. I planned on reviewing all of them separately, but now I'm thinking about doing a few of them together.
Just for you, I'll give you your own tab for each show you do. It's not nessecarily wise, since people first meeting us will take impressions from whatever they read first, but I've read a lot of your content, I think you deserve it if you really want it.
Quote: Sch-School Live S2? YES OMG YES!!!! GIVE IT TO ME! I FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT SEASON!
This reminds me of how I first reacted to the news, then when I saw the cast, I should of muted my mic, poor Skype group that day, lol. |

Quote: Content... "Content" HA, that's not exactly how I would describe my "reviews." Mostly I just throw out a rough sketch of whatever I feel about the show while making weak ass jokes. How about this, if, and this is a big IF, you make me a section to showcase my "content" I'll find my reviews, and polish all of them. Right now? Nothing worth showcasing. I really, really, can't recommend you give me my own tab until you start getting sponsors, and actual members, and stuff though.
Sounds about what I do, and pretty much every other reviewer :)
And we actually have a 'members' tab to place the better written forum reviews from people who don't take reviews seriously, however, you have quite a few reviews. In fact, you have a ton.
That's part of why I'm okay with it, plus you word yourself better then I ever have.
In the future as more serious reviewers join and things get crammed together, we may take you off your tab and put you with members, or you can take it seriously and go all the way with it.
I'm leaving the choice up to you. |

If they stop runnin, i will start gunnin Breakin' is a goon, but he doesn't really.... you know... act like one, lol.
I haven't seen a Goon on the forums in about 2 years, they gave up on Dust, citing CCP's history with EvE. |

Mostly I just throw out a rough sketch of whatever I feel about the show while making weak ass jokes. How about this, if, and this is a big IF, you make me a section to showcase my "content" I'll find my reviews, and polish all of them. Right now? Nothing worth showcasing. I really, really, can't recommend you give me my own tab until you start getting sponsors, and actual members, and stuff though.
Sounds about what I do, and pretty much every other reviewer :) And we actually have a 'members' tab to place the better written forum reviews from people who don't take reviews seriously, however, you have quite a few reviews. In fact, you have a ton. That's part of why I'm okay with it, plus you word yourself better then I ever have. In the future as more serious reviewers join and things get crammed together, we may take you off your tab and put you with members, or you can take it seriously and go all the way with it. I'm leaving the choice up to you. I do? *Sigh* Alright, I'll check the site tomorrow, and if I have a tab I'll see if I can dig up my reviews. They may not make it from this site to anime grinder in-tact though. If you noticed I tried a bunch of different styles in my reviews before giving up, and just throwing a main premise at you, and then saying whether or not I recommend it. I may change my reviews so all of them follow the same style. Oh, and don't actually call me Yuri Detective. That was a joke. Please don't bring up trolls. I may start to act like one. I barely contain myself anyway. I literally got into two separate arguments today, and I was only half-trolling..... I'll make your tabs as you give me the content to put in, not every show will be covered by the same person, so I'm putting up tabs as needed. |

We put up a major update that includes better profiles, so Avatar sizes may of changed. All current Avatars were deleted. Just a heads up, lol.
EDIT: Confirmed, it did change, you can upload much larger pictures now, at the trade off if disabled gifs.
Check out my profile to see what the update adds. I found an awesome picture of Yukino from Romcom <3
EDIT2: Major update came with several goodies, feel free to explore 'em! |

Admittedly, the Cover Photo issue has us stumped, and it's not an issue anyones reported before to go google up and quickly fix.
Support tickets were sent in, we hope to have a solution by tomorrow.
Also an admin to the community tool says Gif's should work for avatars, so if anyone wants to experiment to find out why they don't work, good luck, because I tried 4 times, nothing. |

I only LoL casually. So casual that Deathly Assasin beat me to level 30... and I'm still like level 21? And now I just found out they have something new... and I've never heard of it. I'm usually bouncing around finding every single bug on every single game/forum and writing up essays about every single one. Also managing Dust Uni. You can't get more casual than me. I think I'm only level 10... If that. I've managed to buy what... Three whole Champions? Not even ones I'm that comfortable with. I need to save up the money for Lux man.... Also, I spent most of my time just doing a single bot game a day to get the bonus points to buy the Champions faster. Sota, I've started going through and compiling my reviews. I must say.. DAMN! I've been with this thread for over a hundred posts now. I actually have 11 pages worth of posts just by myself. I need to find a life soon. Also, I'm really sad that I didn't write reviews very seriously when I first joined because I failed to write anything for SAO 2, Toradora!, and Angel Beats! All anime that I think are worth talking about. Um I'm level 30 with over 1200 games played on LoL. I started around a day or two after christmas last year..... so yeah that gives you an idea of how much of a life i have. Also if i ever write a review its pretty much just all what i think about it and written like crap and just pretty much saying its good lol Why does no one play Dota?! I'm crying right now guys..... I don't play, but if I had to choose between Defense of the Ancients and League of Legend - DoTa would win by miles. |

Kail Mako wrote:Well, I just went through half of the thread and found everything I either find worthy of being called a "review," or anything that can become a review with just a bit of work. You were right Sota, I got a lot of these things. 23, to be exact. I'll be adding at least 6 or 7 more after this season wraps up.
So, where do I put all of these? Just throw 'em on our forums to get discussions on those shows going. http://www.animegrinder.com/forum/reviews
Specifically here, in the review section :)
And you have more then 30, easily, lol. |

Kail Mako wrote:A few things with the site....
How do I get a sig? I had one, but it was wiped when the profile pictures were changed. What's with the extreme darkness? You can hardly read anything. Where's the cover photo? I thought I'd never miss those thumbs, but now I just have complete darkness. You already got ads? That was quick. How fast is the site growing? Ads? Where! Ads = money, which means more sexy plug-ins. We want to expand what each review page offers, and we realize a free model hardly offers anything. I'm actually going to be getting a job soon to help pay for the expenses.
So as soon as Ads aren't needed they'll be gone, annoying things. They'll be replaced with sponsors.
And the color will be changed soon, the forum guys are just asleep atm ^_^
The Cover Photo has issues that the people who developed this plug-in didn't realize, including issues with GIF's. We're investigating the issue and will have a fix for it soon.
The preview button also broke somehow, and we'll have that fixed soon, too!
As for how fast we're growing - the site itself is growing in functionality rather quickly, and once public tools are in place we can begin hunting down reviews and filling out the list.
I'm considering deleting the list we have right now *Besides completed pages* and just fill in the list as we collect reviews. It's a ton of work. |

For one, you continue to spell Clannad wrong. It's not Clanned. Also, Chuunibyou is mistyped as well. You have it as Chuunbiyou. Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade is listed as Jin-Rod The Wolf Brigade I'm also fairly certain that Fools Cooly is supposed to be Fooly Cooly, or FLCL. Is This a Zombie is listed by it's English title instead of it's Japanese title Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? I honestly have no clue if we're trying to go with mostly English titles, or mostly Japanese or what....
Finally, am I supposed to make a new topic, or post my reviews under Matt's topic? Or am I simply supposed to link my reviews there? I'm confused.
lol, I didn't even noticed someone spelt it with an e. And auto-correct is a ***** >,<
Also the list is being completely re-done, the site I used to alphabetically set it up, had both the english and japanese names, screwing it all up.
So I'm about to tear it down and start over.
As for giving you power, we have a rank just for what you're asking for - Author. It's a multi purpose rank, from creating your own reviews yourself and posting them directly to the site, to setting up more pages, information and expanding the site. |

It's a multi purpose rank, from creating your own reviews yourself and posting them directly to the site, to setting up more pages, information and expanding the site. what you should do is have the japanese or untranslated title (depending on origin of anime) and then the english such as AnoHanna/The Flower We Saw That Day ect ect... although i know that will take a while to do, if you want just shoot us a list of crap and we will find both names and send them back that way just copy paste, i hope... lol, I looked everywhere for a site that gave a full list of anime tv series, none existed. Had to use stream sites list.
And they're all messy as hell.
And it would be messy to add both Jap/Eng names, but I can't really decide if I want the Jap or English name then inside the link itself gives the other name with more info on the show.
Making this list has just been a pain in my butt lol |

I would get on my ps3 and spam it same with my phone and tablet and PC. heck ill create a bot thing to spam click on ads and then close the tab and click on ads again.... thats what you should do tbh If you guys want, I'm hoping they don't IP block clicks after a certain point to count towards our funding. I'd like to see how much can earn.

Then when you go to it, you can see the alternate names for it (Romaji Japanese name, Japanese name with proper moonrunes, etc). Could you get it to show 'untranslated name/English name' on hover? I'll look into it. |
