The original work as in making comparisons in say, voice acting choices or editing with that or the original anime. Well that's the one specific example I can think of at this moment, but I think that there are other ways that that could come into play.
Ah, well if that's the case then would I also be able to compare TV cuts? Or would that be considered a low blow?
(edit after realizing what he said doesn't explain what he means to well.)
I say that mostly as not too many American TV cuts of anime do justice to the original. Of course they have to suit the audience viewing the subject matter for public television, but a lot of production agencies cross the line between minor changes and screwing with future plot devices for not knowing any better. =\

Yeah, it's odd. I'm not sure if this place has a whole lot of foreign readers, or the people that actually planned to apply didn't bother posting in the thread. Who knows, maybe there just aren't many people interested in actually writing. I'm curious how many people will apply in the end. I just can't imagine it being a tiny number.fanklok said:
I haven't posted anything on this but I've know about it for weeks, just didn't want people to be aware of competition. In retrospect, that was probably a bad idea, since the lack of posts by people applying has certainly insured that I actually give it a shot. Oops.Askepios said:
Reviews sent in, fingers crossed.
Good luck to everyone!!!
Damn I don't have the cajones enough to lie about my age, which sucks because I work with journalists at my school, and I love myself some anime.
As John said earlier:Bandit-K said:
"How the anime reviewers work isn't how the other video series works. The Video team has their own arrangements
"So you can't really compare it to the likes of Yahtzee. As for your idea, I'm assuming from an earlier post that The Escapist has a deal worked out with these anime distributors to acquire their DVDs. That said, having the reviewer buy it on their own and get reimbursed for it probably wouldn't work out.
Really, it's just as simple as it being more work than it's worth. From the perspective of non-US members who want to review, it's bad that they're not accepting people from outside the US. From the other side, it just makes things easier. As long as they can get American writers that don't suck at writing, it's a whole lot less trouble than bothering with international shipping and such.
By Continental United States, does that include Canada? That's what the definition of "Continental United States" is... but I get the feeling from the responses of this thread that it meant "US residents only."
shame i don't live in us, have bad spelling and gammer and am also only 16. But neither the less I finieshed watching TTGN on youtube a few months back (first anime to get me into anime) and if was awsome. I would love to watch it again but its off youtube... can some one give me link plz?
