LemonLyme said: eh just a thought since there seem to be over 9000 kobato posts. Maybe do it like THAT and "teamblog" so each series gets 1 post per episode (multiple people writing in the same post as necessary)? Again, just a thought. Neverender said: Frequencity and I were talking about this yesterday. I think having multiple posts (different perspectives) - at least on the first episode of a series - is a good thing. I kind of wanted to do things a little differently, after all, and I mean, it's not like everyone has the same thing to say. I can see it getting a little ridiculous as time goes on, though. Plus, I wanted to do a big fall impressions post compiling the opinions of all of the posters, so maybe multiple posts on a single episode is unnecessary, but really, who gives a fuck? I think people should just write about what they want to write about. Anyway, it would be nice to get everyone's opinion on the matter, but to do that, you need to have a place where everyone can discuss the issue. I was thinking about making an MAL club. Could always make a forum, too, but probably unnecessary when we can just use MAL. w/e works I was going to expand on what I said above, but I'm listening to noise and it's melting my brain or some shit. Discuss ok |

| I get what you mean about the multiple posts thing. I think it'd totally work if we had people posting different perspectives (which is what you want anyway) but Kobato posts at the moment haven't been the greatest idea of a first example because it's like 'omg moe' for both. Although I can't talk because I was also going to post a Kobato one but since I'm a mega CLAMP fan and I read the manga I was going to discuss where exactly I thought it was going to go in terms of being crossed over with Wish and of course, since the manga's not finished, the idea of an anime only ending. Opinions on that ^ would be helpful aswell. |
 |
| Oh, nice idea with this whole club thing so we can get everyone's opinions and whatnot. I think Lemon's idea wouldn't work so well, but who knows. As for you & freq, Im totally diggin' it. Like, multiple first impression posts (for first eps like you said), and then decide what one person is going to keep blogging it. Or something. Idk I fail. Im new to this blogging stuff so. :( But multiple perspective thing/your compiling idea is awesome, in my opinion. I also fail at thinking. BUT IF I THINK OF SOMETHING, I WILL DEF POST RIGHT HERE. IN THIS THREAD. |
| Eh it was just a thought. The concept would be to put everyone's posts from a single episode into a single post, but that probably wouldn't work because it would require bumping or something. As long as we figure something out, I'm fine with just about anything. Even the current system is fine. |
DryB said: Like, multiple first impression posts (for first eps like you said), and then decide what one person is going to keep blogging it. I think this is ultimately the best way to go. Only problem with this is that some people may end up bloggin something they just "kind of" want to blog. And, yeah, I understand the Kobato thing, but I think that's going to happen with Frequencity and I no matter what. Same shit, just worded differently. |

| yeah I mean, I think if we have two people posting two very different versions of the first episode of a series it's fine. It's bound to happen. If we have two very similar versions, we might want to consider getting rid of one of the two or condensing them. We should most definitely compile a seasonal impressions post where everyone inputs their opinion (like what has been said before and what most team blogs do). Then people can pick out which series they most want to blog. If two people want to do the same thing, we can figure out who out of the two want to do the majority of the post and then at the end, there can be a small section for the other person's impressions of the episode. If someone has knowledge of the manga or it's like their shit, we prob should leave it to them or simply have the other poster's impression thing at the bottom. |

| My lightbulb is flickering, guys. Maybe if two (or more) people wanted to blog about the same certain anime, they could alternate on episodes. Did that make sense? Im not the best at wording things. |
| College being gay atm and I can't take as much time to reply as I'd like to. Hopefully things will calm down within the next few days so I can put more thought/time into this shit and we can really figure things out. Anyway... I don't know. I've been thinking about it over the past few days, and I really don't know what's wrong with having multiple posts on the same episode. Want to read about ___ episode 3, but sick of Neverender's shit? That's ok, Bakayaro wrote a post on that episode as well. I never intended to make an anime blog similar to others anyway. I think a lot of the people visiting the blog (other than the writers, I mean) visit it to read a certain person's posts. I noticed most of you have the blog plugged in your profiles (which is obviously good). I'm sure some people have also told others that they are blogging anime @ GYD. The people someone is telling about the blog are probably visiting it to read the posts of the person who told them about it (at least at first). They might have no interest in someone else's posts. That's ok. That's why I like the idea of people being able to post about w/e they want more than the idea of people being limited. I mean, shit, I don't even know if I have the patience to blog about every episode of a series. The idea came about because of LoliDecay asking me to make more of my stupid anime posts (not that I dislike what the blog has become; just sayin'). Anyway, that's just my opinion. The blog is obviously not just mine and everyone's opinion is equally important. If you guys want to each blog a series or two, then that's fine, but if so, we're going to need to figure out the details, as well as who is blogging what. |

| Lot of good ideas thrown around here. I agree with frequencity mostly, although neverender's above post also has me thinking, and the multiple posts from different people about the same episode could be made to work. Though at the same time I like frequencity's idea of a small section at the bottom of a post with other people's (who weren't interesting in doing an entire post for a show) opinions on the episode - like one sentence opinions or something. Tho at the start of a season, maybe we could kind of get an idea about who's planning on blogging what, and try and work it out so that most shit gets covered in the blog, rather than like 6 of the season's shows getting attention and the other shows having no posts. BUT of course if a show is supershit then no one's going to want to blog it, and so therefore it deserves to have no posts (maybe a first episode post to say "this show is shit. we dont want to write about it because it sucks dick". Also as you mentioned neverender, doing an entry for every single episode of a show would no doubt get boring/annoying/etc at some point, and so maybe we need some alternative, like what DB suggested with the taking it in turns to blog on a show. Though then this would probably end up contradicting the idea of covering as many shows of the season as possible. OMG Anyway, I won't type more about that since my brain already is overloaded enough. On another note, I thought i'd through around some ideas I thought of. This isn't all necessary or anything, but thought I'd suggest anyway - categories for each of us to make finding all the entries by one person easier. OR our posts could just be tagged with our names. w/e works (or doesn't) As for expanding beyond just episode posts, shows that have finished airing could get their own post from whoever wants to blog about them after they've finished. Say hypothetically, when I finish Infinite Ryvius I make an entry about my thoughts on the whole show. I'm sure this kind of thing would happen eventually anyway once we all get used to the blog, but yeah just mentioning anyway. And say if someone hadn't been doing episode posts for currently airing shows, or they only did the first ep or something but fell behind and couldn't be fucked catching up with a post for each episode, then they could do like a "blah blah show: the story so far" kind of post, which just includes all eps up to that point. ANYWAY. I'll stop there since my post is waaay too tl;dr. But that's pretty much all my thoughts on this. Maybe I'm taking this too seriously, since it was meant to be pretty chilled and people do shit whenver they want (which is what is so good about it, and I support this). But of course it can't hurt to keep this chill atmosphere while also making shit more awesome and easier for everyone somehow. |
| I agree with everything you've just said and was planning on doing a review of G.A. Art once I watch the last episode (we could make a category for finished//reviews or w/e). I'm just gonna go ahead and post here the two shows that I want to blog this season: 1. Kimi ni Todoke 2. Sasameki Koto I suggest you all do the same, and we can solve any conflicts here. In the future, we could then do a seasonal impressions post for each upcoming season (once the shows get announced and the trailers are out) with impressions from everyone and their chances of blogging w/e. I still don't mind having multiple posts of the same episode for multiple perspectives, just as long as one person is clearly in charge of the week-to-week blogging. |

| I think Simo knows what's up. Let's just figure out what everyone wants to blog and go from there. Also, instead of everyone making a post on their thoughts of a series after it finishes, could also just make one big post with the thoughts of everyone who watched it. w/e BigSimo said: This isn't all necessary or anything, but thought I'd suggest anyway - categories for each of us to make finding all the entries by one person easier. OR our posts could just be tagged with our names. w/e works (or doesn't) yeah I thought about this in the beginning but the thing is that you can just click the author's name in a post and it will show you all of their posts. I guess it might make sense if the poster you're interested in hasn't posted anything on the first page, but eh oh and I don't give a fuck what I blog as long as it's not a 26, so I'll just take whatever's left over. Thing is, we have seven posters total. If everyone blogs two shows, that's 14 fucking shows covered. Also, BlueYoshi is interested in bloggin too so that could potentially bring the number up to 16. Someone is going to get stuck with bullshit. There's no way 16 shows this season are actually worth blogging. idk Maybe stick two people on one series if necessary. Either have them collaborate on a single post per episode or just have them make multiple posts. Having everyone blog a single series would also solve the problem, but idk how some people would like that. |

I'll blog Nyan Koi if no one else wants it. And I still need to check out some other shows before I can blog something else (I've only seen Nyan Koi so far). |
| yeah I don't think I could do Nyan Koi. Last episode made me rage |

| oh really? i MUST watch it then |
| I might pick up dtb if no one wants it and I have some time. Probably finish up Bakemonogatari too. But meh college apps come first. |
| I'll be happy to blog Kuchu Buranko if no one else has taken it. If anyone starts subbing Aoi Bungaku, I might blog that too. |
| Was too fucking busy all weekend to drag my ass in this thread orz. I personally don't care if multiple people post on the same show, but I think we're long past that discussion. Like Freq said, as long as one perosn is clearly in charge, it doesn't really matter. As for having too many people blogging, keep in mind: There ARE also Spring shows currently still airing. No idea if anyone gives a flying fuck about FMA, but I intended to do a "story so far" for Cross Game and begin blogging it. The same goes for Umineko which just started in the Summer. Considering the series it is, I'm sure someone can have a fucking field day with posts about it. As for me though, I really don't give a fuck what I blog. Obviously I was intending to keep up with Railgun, debating continuing Natsu no Arashi if anyone actually reads it. If someone wants Railgun too, I can go on backup for it and do Cross Game. Unless you want me to spam the site with Baka posts, at which point full steam ahead, bitches. Final Note: Someone better get on Trapeze, Winter Sonata, and Blue Literature assuming they all get subbed. FML: I spelled site "cite". Fuck this English paper. |
"I'd suck you~" Berri||Desu Ne? |
| yeah I've been waiting for trapeze to air and blue literature to get subbed (prob won't ever get subbed tho). I might actually blog Kämpfer too because I hate all things that are good. |
| I don't really care what I blog for the most part, though if the series starts to suck too much.. Am I allowed to stop blogging it? Armed Librarians, ugh. Though, BigSimo kind of already said something about that, so Im guessing me stopping is fine. Just making sure, though. Another question: Is it okay to start blogging an anime (say, an old show for example) at an episode in the middle of the series? example: NOT episode 1. Like, start at ep 5. Or maybe even skip episodes that didn't have much going on. Im new to blogging and shit, so bear with me, please. :( My posts will continue to get better as I learn~ And yeah, damn. Neverender brought up lots of good points. Post #8 esp. I don't think anyone will object to me blogging Letter Bee, seeing as no one here is enjoying it as much as I. :D |
DryB said: Is it okay to start blogging an anime at an episode in the middle of the series? Don't see why not LL did that with Bakemonogatari |

| @DB: i reckon if you don't want to blog a show then don't. you should only have to blog the shit you enjoy blogging about. if you plan on dropping armed librarians a RAGE entry that pays the fuck out of it would be awesome though if it's not worthy of even that then i understand. anyway that's my opinion on it - im sure neverender is pretty chilled about it too right bro? |
