Hello, everyone. I know that it's been quite a while since my last blog on this site, but there are a few questions that keep coming up and I thought I'd be nice and answer them for you.
1. Do you review everything that people request?
The answer is, just about. I did a blog not too long after I first created my profile giving certain conditions to my reviews. The first is that I don't review hentai, ever. Now, I don't care if you like hentai. It's really none of my business, but I have absolutely no interest in it and, honestly, the general purpose of hentai is to cause arousal and I don't feel comfortable dictating to anyone what they should be aroused by. So, I don't review it. The second major condition is that I do all my reviews based on the original Japanese versions. Usually that's not an issue, but sometimes I just can't find the request in the original Japanese. It's only happened twice so far, and I do apologise to those people who wanted to see reviews of Transformers: Micron legend and Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, but if I can't find the original Japanese version, I'm not doing the review.
2. Why does there always seem to be a time delay in your reviews?
Yeah, I've gotten several people asking why I announce things like horror anime month, and mention my first review of the month, when it's the second review I've posted for that month. The reason is simple. There is a delay. I originally post my reviews on GS, one week later I post them here with very few if any changes. There are two major reasons for this. The first is that most of my requests and comments come from people on GS, so I show my appreciation by giving them the reviews first. The second is that GS is where I got my start, roughly half a year before I started posting my reviews here. It seems only right to continue to give them extra attention.
3. Do you have a problem with nudity?
This one comes up on occasion, usually when I've just given a negative view of something that has nudity. The simple answer to this is no, no I don't. As some of you may know, two of the three anime I've given perfect scores have nudity. What I take issue with is mindless fan-service. The two aforementioned anime both have nudity, but it serves a purpose for the plot or symbolism, so I don't mind. That being said, even mindless fan-service doesn't ruin an anime for me. I ave given 7s and 8s to anime that have quite a bit because they have merits that more than make up for it. Mindless fan-service only adds a problem. If the anime is good otherwise, I'll still give it a high score. If the anime is crap, then the mindless fan-service just gives me one more thing to complain about.
So, there are your answers to those questions. Please, stop asking them. Of course, I don't mind answering different questions but don't be upset if I just give you the answer instead of putting it in a blog.
