2) Not important, a 5-second google image search gets me the same result without all of the work you’d have to put in every time an image site went under. I appreciate the four images for new episodes, especially so I can tell if I’ve seen already without reading potential spoilers, obiviously this doesn’t matter for the older stuff.

3) Nope, great job keeping me up-to-date on what’s new in the world of anime.

4) Absolutely not, don’t want to see you to get burned out responding to every little comment.

5) Not sold on the 7-star-scale, a “school grade” would make more sense to me (A-B-C-D-F), and you can throw in pluses and minuses to boot. I’m not super interested in the sub-scores as well, I won’t watch a poorly scripted, badly voice-acted, and shoddily animated series if the music is great.

And you’re probably sick of hearing this, but great site, and this is the only place I go for anime reviews.

I guess I’ll start with this survey (voted for Series Reviews), but I’ll make this quick. I apologize if there’s any bad spelling or grammer, since I’m in a rush.

1. It’s perfect at the moment.

2. Pictures are good, but they don’t need to be top priority. Take your time regathering them.

3. What Bruce said in the first comment. Those were nice. It’s also like a rating for the episode itself. The other thing I would have suggested has been implemented by the looks of it (new review system).

4. It’s your choice when it comes down to it.

5. You’ve been getting some flak lately because of your style of blogging. Don’t worry about those ignorant fools that don’t even bother to take a proper look around the site. Keep up the good work.

2)The pictures are important but i think you don’t really need to get back every single picture that you lost. I think your reviews worth a lot more than the pictures.

3). I realised that some animes that you review are not very popular, ( I dont understand why coz they are pretty darn good ). so sometimes i have trouble trying to download those good ones. may be state the erm availability of the anime>?

4). I dont think so. Its your choice really. Replying to every single comment can be rather time-consuming. Some questions are just plain dumb and pointless anyway.

5). Keep up the good job. I got to know a lot of nice series thanks to your reviews. :) This is the only regular anime review site that i visit.

That separation between reviews, anticipations and episodes listing is just pointless. I will not pick up any choice.
Your blog is monothematic: anime, anime and much anime. It’s not that you write about music, seiyuu or games so that a preferred thema or genre may arise.

About the quantity of anime to review: You manage what you feel like to blog, we just read. I don’t dare asking you other 1225436 series to blog.
I just say quality is better than quantity. And those who stops by Star Crossed fell quality in your job.

About communication. The blog is a bad place to start discussions. It’s sad to say but that’s it. It’s not required to answer every single opinion. Wanna convert Star Crossed in a forum? Uhm… not sure it’s a win move :P

1) Just Right. There’s enough for me to check here now and again and see a new post. Plus, you cover a big range of obscure shows, which is great.

2) I think you should use only ONE picture for old articles. It’s less work and it still lets people differentiate between articles.

3) No - it’s fine how it is. But if you have any random thoughts or information that people may find interesting, it wouldn’t hurt to post them.

4) Unless someone is asking you an important question, you shouldn’t HAVE to answer comments.

5) Nope. Good job.

2) I like seeing screenshots ^^; Plain text bores me or doesn;t catch my attention. So yeah, I wish they were back up ^^; Hope you get a better image host soon.

3) More screenshots? They don’t have to be in high quality, but I really like seeing pictures. Ehehe.
And I recommend a new layout? Ehehe. I dunno if it’s just my pc, but to my eyes it looks . . .errr . . .squished? ^^;
And if it won’t be a bother for you, when you do series/movie reviews (as in completed/finished ones), could there also be character (with pic) descriptions? ^^; Aside form the story, characters also attract me in watching something. Ehehe.
What I didn’t like is the spam blocker. Yes, I udnerstand why it’s there. But I often get mistaken on the numbers because the “1″ and “7″ on the pic look similar to me ^^; So I needed to submit multiple times. It has been a hassle to me ^^; That’s why I don’t comment that often. Ehehe.

4) It’s not really necessary. It’s not your obligation. Ehehe.
I love reading replies though, but I guess it won’t matter since I won’t be alerted if you do reply to my comment (I don’t check out entries where I’ve commented more than once or twice ^^;). If I could receive alerts on your replies through e-mail, that would be nice. Hehe.

5) Can’t think of any.

Anyway: http://psgels.blogsome.com/2007/03/28/some-thoughts-on-code-geass/

2) If it is to much work then there is no need. I would like having them up again. When I am watching an older show that you have once blogged, I would prefer seeing the pictures next to the entry.

3) I second the “More random editorials”-request. I would love to see more of those. There have been quite some comments about the length of the reviews. I like the short reviews. If there would have been a synopsis I would have just scrolled over it. So, no complaints there.

4) If there is no direct question, then there is no real need to reply to them. Also, if the question is some complaint like “OMG, how dare you to insult insert popular show”
There isn’t that much need to answer it.

5) Nope.

I also heavily made use of your season preview as a starting point for THAT’s own season preview. So it’s definitely awesome. ^_^

Or maybe a latest posts section would be nice too. It could help people navigate a bit better! Sorry for the double post again. >_

2. Lost pictures
I don’t think it’s a really big deal. Considering you lost quite a lot of pictures and that they don’t really do much maybe you could out that on hold.

3. What this blog needs
Frankly I don’t think this blog needs much improvement since you’ve pretty much created a standard for yourself. Maybe a little change of layout once in a while would make it feel more warm. xD

Although, changing your rating system a bit would be nice. Maybe instead of using numbers go with a more subjective system? You know, ‘good watch, interesting watch, mediocre watch” that sort of thing.

4. Replying to comments
Well, not necessarily. Maybe try the mass comment replying method? Don’t force yourself though, the best comments are made when you’ve actually got something to say.

5. Anything else to add?
Nothing really, just keep up the good work! I do enjoy reading your analysis of the many series you watch.

2). Though it doesnt seem important, I kinda really like to see some of the pictures.

3). Hmm not really missing anything, i like how it is.

4). No i dont really think so, itd be pretty dam ridiculous.

5). None ATM :]

2)its not overly important, but then again, if you feel you have time to do it it is a good thing

3)i would have said no, but upon reading bruce’s comment, a score/synopsis thing would actually be quite nice

4)demanding you to respond to every comment would be quite ridiculous to be honest, sometimes people are quite general in their own oppions and i see no reason for an answer, on the other hand, if someone asks you a direct question in a polite manner, its always nice to get an answer. really boils down to if you haev time or not.

5)not that i can think of right now, no.

1. I think the number of shows you blog is great (more than most blogs). In terms of popular series: definitely not, I enjoy the mix of the popular and the obscure and bits inbetween.

2. Not too important this, I wouldn’t bother with old episodic posts but the reviews and first impressions should probably be re-uploaded sometime as visual style leaves a big impression.

3. I really like the style of your posts (straight to point of view with little summary) and that you don’t have to ‘jump’ to see whole posts. The only thing I can think of is that you could have one of those boxes on the side where it shows who commented last on what. Also I guess for this to be effective you’d need to make the top box smaller (collapse finished series maybe).

4. I do think sometimes that when you ask questions and try to spark little debates in the comments section you should try and discuss your views a bit more. Discussions seem to peter out a bit too quickly in comments and you could help keep them going. again not essential and you’re a busy man.

5. maybe something about the scoring system but all in all it seems everyone is happy with what you’re doing.

2. I’d just update the old screenshots as time permits, but definitely keep the more recent stuff up to date.

3. Maybe include some sort of spoiler code to your comment section?

4. Nah, people have lives to lead, why should you be any different. It’s understandable if you only reply to those pressing questions or issues that require more attention to detail. I wouldn’t sweat the small stuff.

5. Nope.

2) If these really are a hassle to you then i say just disregard them. Although people do like to get a feel for the visuals of a series, especially since this is an anime blog… I like Lika’s idea about having just 1 screencap for the old posts.

3) I love when your random reviews of older series pop up, but i would love to see a more in-depth analysis of the show, just as those above me have requested. I agree with Wind that you should reflect upon the different aspects of the series, but you could be more subtle than just splitting everything into catagories. I also agree that i can’t really tell the difference between an 83 and 84. But also i am aware that if you change your rating system dramatically it might make your huge archive of past reviews obsolete.

4)You shouldn’t need to reply to every single comment just the well written ones. (i.e. there’s no need to reply to immature comments like: “yur blog is dumb how can u giv a faggy show like this a higher score than Death Note”)

5)More random editorials! I’ve only seen one so far and it was one where you were ranting about Code Geass’s (cough) elegant plot twist (cough). I’d love to see more of you’re opinions on these kinds of things, as well as anything else you feel like writing about.
