MrOrange has a spectacular aura about
Writting Anime/Manga reviews or Summary

The good thing about animes and mangas is that there are a lot around. So many are made that there are usually animes and mangas that anyone can enjoy from hard-core fighting action anime to great storyline mangas. Some even have both. But time is usually against people so they don't have time to read through each one to see if they like it or not.

So I would like it if people would write some reviews or summaries of their favorite animes/mangas. I recently made a Naruto summary and I would like people to base theirs after mine.
http://www.pollama.com/anime-manga/8209-naruto.html

I have a summary, a picture, and links to where people can watch or read it online for free. Also see how the title of the thread is just [(THE_ANIME/MANGA_NAME)]. That so people won't get confused from a summary/review thread from a regular thread.

In Summary/Review threads, I want people to post only their reviews on the anime/manga. Any question will be deleted. But I ask that people who makes a summary/review thread to also make another thread about that anime/manga where the people can post whatever they want about the anime/manga. Then on the summary/review thread, put the link of that thread on it. If you're confused, just look at the link above.

I also encourage people to use the Thread Rating system. Just look a little above the first post of the thread and you should easily find it. You can vote out of five.
1/5:
2/5:
3/5:
4/5:
5/5:

I will be finding rating images that are more notable later on.


If enough people writes and there are enough summary/review threads then I will make a closed forum just for Summary/Review threads.


Note: For the images, I would like them to be 200x300 px images. If you are off by single digits that is fine. If it is off by a lot, send me the link or attachment of the image by PM and I will gladly reduce the image. If you don't know how to send a PM to me, just click this link. http://www.pollama.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=543


This is a simple template that you can use that will keep things neat. This is for the people who have a hard time keeping things nice and organized.
HTML Code:
[table][tr][td][box=Summary][size="2"](ADD THE SUMMARY OF THE ANIME/MANGA SERIES HERE)[/size][/box][/td][td]
[center](PUT A 200x300 IMAGE HERE)
[b]Author[/b]:  (NAME OF AUTHOR)
[b]Genre[/b]:  (LIST GENRE-SEPARATE BY COMMA)
[/center][/td][/tr][/table]
[box=Discussion Thread](URL OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD)
[/box]
[box=Links](LINK TO SITE THAT SHOWS THE ANIME FOR FREE HERE)
(LINK TO SITE THAT SHOWS THE MANGA FOR FREE HERE[/box]
You just need to replace the words that are in capital form.

Also I ask that you do not just copy and paste a summary from a site. It's alright to paraphrase it.

Hm.

It has to be to your style, so we have to find a link to the manga and anime... Crap. Its hard finding a place with all the Claymore Episodes, megavideo has always worked for me. And I have no clue how to make those strange boxes that let you put the words inside.

Re: Writting Anime/Manga reviews or Summary

It doesn't have to be my style. And all I really ask is to have a picture and summary. Summary so people who read it might want to watch the anime. The picture is because some people might have watched it when they were younger but can't remember the name of it.

The reason why I say base it off of mine is because I know people who just do the bare minimum and it ends up looking very sloppy. The boxes is my personal touch to make things look more organized. You don't need to do it. I might just make a template to make things easier.

Your style looks neater and more presentable, however. It would be helpful if you could show me how to do that.

I put a template up on the first post.

Also I'll be fixing Summary/Review topics.

Small update that will be added soon. Summary/Review topics will become only a summary topic and will be closed. All posting will be done in the Discussion topics.

Please bare with me because this is something completely new so I'm trying to work some things out.

Re: Writting Anime/Manga reviews or Summary

Damn, how long did it take you to write that template? I don't even know what some of the tags do. Like the tr, td and table ones.

Very well done, I think MrOrange beats me in doing stuff that's actually useful. And being a human being in general.
