STUFF Reviews is an initiative started by Ted and myself to have some fun partaking in an ancient American past time: making fun of other people's work.
What we will review:
Movies
Series (Anime, TV, etc.)
Games
Graphic Novels (Comics, Manga, etc.)
What we won't review
Books
Music
What are we offering?
You may have to ask what makes us different from every other internet reviewer? Well a few things:
A) We're not afraid to tackle anything, I only don't want to review books or music simply because it would be difficult to do with our current technical limitations. This may change in the future.
B) Editorials. There are many stories out there that could be better, and many that never seemed to have an editor look over them. In this day of remakes, reboots, and director's cuts I am going to make clear cut red ink marks across everything. How to make bad stories good, how to make good stories better. I apologize for the weakness of the first review in this aspect. I will do better next time.
C) Storyline. Not to give too much away, but I am a firm believer in having a background story; look forward to that when we have some extra time and funding.
Structure
Our review structure will be a little complicated; especially around series. We will review most things in their individual parts (we may divide a larger game up, particularly RPGs) and review those parts as on their own merits.
Then at the end of each season we will give a season review, and at the end of the series we will give a series review.
If there is more than one media being used (Example: Both an Anime and a Manga) We will quickly sum up and score any overlapping material, and go into detail on any divergent sections. At the end of that we will do a comparison between the parts.
Requests
This is going to work very simply. I have a Contact Me page up on the Blog, either E-mail me or post a request in this thread, or put a request in the comments section.
If you donate money you can attach a request to that donation.
Donated requests will be done faster, right now I will continue with Ranma 1/2 until it is completed (Both the anime and manga)
Un-donated requests will be done at every other review inter-spaced between Ranma reviews.
Donated reviews will be done first (Unless the request is for a whole series, in which case we will review two parts of the series and then do another Ranma review.)
Delays in reviews may occur if I have trouble getting my hands on a physical copy of the material. (In the odd case of material that has no physical version, I will find a way to show that I actually own it.) The higher the donation, the sooner the review.
I will be putting up a list in another topic, and I will be updating that list with the requested reviews and the price on those reviews. I cannot promise an immediate review (since I'd have to get a copy, film, and edit) and it may not even be the next review even if money was paid (if we already have a filmed review edited that will go up next.) However it will be the target of our next filming session.
