White Album 2 - 01

Sorry! It's been a while since my last post. I know White Album 2 finished last season but I didn't learn about it's existence till recently. I was a fan of the first season so I had to watch this one.

Log Horizon: Episode 2

Hey everybody, welcome to Log Horizon: Episode 2's overview! I'm Lin, here to summarize what happened and give you my thoughts on the reveals in the episode. Let's go!

Log Horizon Episode 1

Hey everyone! Lin here! I'm very pleased to announce that I will be taking over the anime overviews of 'Log Horizon'...what a pleasure! This anime is one that came out during the fall of last year and though it was recommended to me by a very good friend of mine, I never took the time to watch it till now. And boy do I regret it...I loved it at first episode!
Note: This post will be longer than the rest of the posts because it's an introduction to this anime and a lot of its components. Proceeding overviews of this anime will be noticeably shorter.

Saki Zenkoku Hen - 06

It's Hibiki Snow again with an impression of the latest episode of Saki Zenkoku Hen! Since I enjoy playing mahjong a little too much, I there's no way I wouldn't be watching this.

Rating Anime and Video Games, an Explanation, Part 2

Hey guys, Lin here with Part 2 of my rating system. To start off, I'll let you know that anime and video game criteria merge. Every subject that is analyzed in anime is also done in video games, however, video games has criteria which is not analyzed in anime...

I'll start with giving very brief descriptions of shared criteria before going into other ratings that specific to anime or VGs.

1. Characters. I judge characters based on how real main characters feel and whether or not they can be related to. I think that good fictional characters have major strengths, but they also have flaws and weaknesses. Examples of bad characters are marysues or one dimensional characters.
2. Dialogue: Cringe worthy one-liners don't get many points, you'd imagine. Dialogue is just how smoothly lines go with each other and how appropriate their script is. Cursing three times in a sentence doesn't make your lines any more meaningful.

Rating Anime and Video Games, An Explanation, Part 1

Hey guys, Lin here with an explanation on how I rate anime and video games on SR. First off, keep in mind I'm going to be calling both of them 'games', as a means to make everything sound a little smoother. So don't think I just mean video games when I make this post...I mean both!

Okay, so if you've read any of my review posts, you'll already know that I use a scale of 1-10, where 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest. When people see that I give something a 5, they think it's a low score, but that's not true. A 2 is a low score. A 3 is a disappointment. When I give something a 5, I mean the number between 1 and 10. It is average.

"But Lin, what does average mean?"

It means that the game fulfilled the criteria to at least keep up with the game out around it's year of development or current games in it's genre, depending on when it was made. There is not particularly anything bad about it, yet not anything spectacular. It is not inspiring in its genre of games. Scores that fall in this range usually are aspects that are not really talked about because they don't make a big difference. They are easily forgotten or overshadowed by very good things or very bad things. It is simply average.
