(A) Ration(a)Logic Faction

<span style="font-size: 130%;">First and foremost, I would like to make it clear that this is <strong>NOT</strong> a <em>hater</em> club. Our goal is to come up a list of ultimately unwatchable shows (but countless people still watch!?) that should be avoided at all cost to not waste time or compromise your taste. Even though everyone has different standards, solid facts and undeniable logic will prevail. I will made up a check list and basic rules with the goal of ensuring maximum participation from our members. <img src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/duty_calls.png" border="0" /> <span style="color:blue">We have two seemingly opposite but in fact complementary goals: point out bad anime (MINUS anime) that should not have been made and good manga (PLUS manga) that should have been made into anime!<!--color--></span><!--size--></span> It's because I happen to realize there are too many good manga and too many bad anime, for each case we can clearly tell why and what make them good or bad, so why were these bad anime made while these good manga weren't adapted!? I desperately want to point them out so as these bad anime should be stopped making and these good manga should be adapted instead for good because of their clearly good qualities. <span style="font-size: 120%;"><strong><u>Entry Requirements:</u></strong><!--size--></span> <div class="spoiler"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display='block';this.style.display='none';" value="Show spoiler"> <span class="spoiler_content" style="display:none"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.parentNode.style.display='none';this.parentNode.parentNode.childNodes[0].style.display='block';" value="Hide spoiler"><br><strong>1.</strong> You must have written at least one <strong>CRITICAL</strong> review giving a score of <strong>7</strong> or less. No requirement for "useful' count. You should demonstrate how you bind to <strong>facts and logic</strong> in making your judgement rather than emotion and overall perception. We recommend you take a personality test at <a href="http://www.mypersonality.info" target="_blank">http://www.mypersonality.info</a> (just for fun~). If you turn out to be a <strong>"Thinking"</strong> type, you are mostly in! <strong>2.</strong> Your Anime and Manga lists each may not contain more than 10% of entries awarded a perfect rating of 10 to prove that you are able to rise above the hype and <u>excessive production value</u> (art and/or sound). <strong>3.</strong> The 'Completed' and 'Dropped' sections of your Anime and Manga lists each may not contain more than 5% of all entries not awarded any sort of rating. <strong>4.</strong> Your Anime and Manga lists must be publicly visible. <span style="font-size: 80%;"><span style="color:red">If you meet all of these requirements and wish to join, but have yet to receive any invitation then feel free to send request. One of the club officers or admins will then review your profile. After reviewing it they will either accept you on the spot or send you a PM explaining the specific reason(s) why your request was declined, hopefully.<!--color--></span><!--size--></span><!--spoiler--></span></div> <span style="font-size: 120%;"><strong><u>Club Goals:</u></strong><!--size--></span> <div class="spoiler"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display='block';this.style.display='none';" value="Show spoiler"> <span class="spoiler_content" style="display:none"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.parentNode.style.display='none';this.parentNode.parentNode.childNodes[0].style.display='block';" value="Hide spoiler"><br><strong>1.</strong> To have members nominate an <strong>ANIME</strong> series within the range of <strong>top 1500</strong> (average rating of 7.30 or above) that they believe is of particularly <strong>low or unbalanced</strong> quality (especially with poor story and character, regardless of art and sound) and that do not deserve high scores as they are. The nominators should include their <strong>critical review</strong> for the respective series. <strong>2.</strong> To then have a discussion thread for members to debate the good and, primarily, <strong>negative aspects</strong> of the nominated series. <strong>3.</strong> To then hold a poll to decide if most members agree that nomination is <strong>ultimately unwatchable</strong> to be added to our 'Anime Relation' list. <strong>4.</strong> If it is decided that a series should be added our 'Club Related' list then we will go one step further: collect all points made by members in the discussion thread and have everyone vote on each point to be included in the <strong>Club's review</strong> or not. For example, you can enter your vote for a list of 10 points as "1,3,4,6,7,8,10" to vote for respective points. A small committee will write for the series a proper review, <strong>systematically and scientifically</strong>, not emotionally as most bash-ers are doing. We may hold an additional poll to select the <strong>lead review writer</strong> who have already written a critical review for the respective series. <strong>5.</strong> To have members nominate a <strong>MANGA and novel</strong> series that they believe is of particularly <strong>HIGH</strong> quality and that deserve more attention and should be made into anime. Why? Because the reason why poor anime series with excessive production value are being made is not that we lack good materials - manga and novel - but that dumb people neglect these materials because of some f*cked up reasons, making producers disdain their money-making capability! We are not 100% sure about this at this point too so let's leave it until our discussion. Nominators have to post a relatively detailed review for their respective nominations to be considered a position in the "Manga Relation" list.<!--spoiler--></span></div> <span style="font-size: 120%;"><strong><u><span style="color:red">Process summary:<!--color--></span></u></strong>(Under Revision)<!--size--></span> <div class="spoiler"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display='block';this.style.display='none';" value="Show spoiler"> <span class="spoiler_content" style="display:none"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="this.parentNode.style.display='none';this.parentNode.parentNode.childNodes[0].style.display='block';" value="Hide spoiler"><br><strong>1.
