Heya,
young work material. You wanna write a review? That's awesome!
Not sure where to start? Well, I got some things for you should consider and a few notes to make.
~You can always review an anime and manga
that already got reviewed. ~
Specify in the title
if you're reviewing the manga, anime or both and put the name first. Due to this forum being set to
A-Z listing, that's how the topics will show, based on their names
(example:One Piece / Anime and not the other way around).
~
Try to be objective and interesting. While we have no connection to Anime-Planet.com I took the liberty to link to an useful article they wrote(click). Don't worry, I'm not as demanding. Take a look on their website for some examples of reviews, it'll help.
~
~Reading to get you some inspiration is fine but [b]don't copy paste others reviews here
Also, what can be found on this forums
belongs to this forum. Don't try to steal something or else
~Feel free to use images, gifs and videos.
~Make sure to
not spoil the anime/manga
too much. Who knows who hadn't seen it?
~Anyone is free to answer to your review with suggestions, different opinions, thanks etc. You guys and girls be reminded that you shouldn't trade blows for a review.
Okay, with those things outta the way, we can talk about the reviews that would populate here.
First, the
layout: split your review in sections:
- Quick Info Section: Summary, On-going/Completed/Sequel/OMV/One-shot etc, Genres, Episode Number (if known), Manga/Anime Connection (if they got their counterpart, talk about it. There are mangas that don't have an anime for them and vice-versa).
To put it simple, tell the premise of an anime before you start reviewing it. A few vague lines should do. This isn't to be rated because there's already a Plot/Story section, and from there downward, the rating will apply.
Inuyasha: Kagome falls though a fountain that teleports her back in time. She meets Inuyasha and is considered to be his former lover's reincarnation.
- Plot/Story,
- Animations/Graphics,
- Sound (refers to the voices, music, effects, opening, ending etc) and in manga's case, the Scanlation Work (proper cleaning, translations, fonts etc)
- Progression (everything happened to fast or slow? awfully ridiculous pace of one character that goes from dead-last to the greatest in seconds? Ridiculous situations? Yeah, things like this to look out for),
- Characters (aspect, behavior, decisions, skills, relationships etc)
- Enjoyment (Overall opinion, if it was worth watching/reading
Feel free to suggest some nifty applicable all around layout. 
Secondly, the
ability to rate. Always be impartial and, if unsure, don't rate. The ratings will be out
outta 100, meaning that you'll get lots of freedom for your ratings. That will be
the final rating but how do we get there? Read along.
You can
rate each section I presented of the review
outta 20 because there are 5 sections (5*20=100 hence my logic).
Still confused? Yeah, I would be too. I suck at explanations. Here, lemme give you an random, incorrect example:
a review of the anime Paradise Kiss gets 20/20 Animations, 14/20 Sound, Progression 12/20, Characters 18/20 and Enjoyment 4/20.That means that the Overall rating is 68/100, a thing which you'll also specify in the description.
What more to say? Have fun and write!
I will select an official team soon (you can apply for it, obviously) and organize this section a bit more. Till then, anyhting's game.
