Proposal AnimeSuki Reviews Subforum

We've very recently had significant changes brought to the forums layout of AnimeSuki. With that in mind, perhaps now is a good time to present an idea that I've been rolling around in my head for awhile

AnimeSuki has many members who have been anime fans for a very long time. This site also has some members that have wrote lengthy anime reviews on other sites, or on personal blogs.

I think AnimeSuki's membership has a strong overall talent for writing good and thought-provoking anime reviews. And I think that this talent is something that could be greater utilized in a way that would benefit both AnimeSuki and its membership, and maybe even benefit some lurkers that come across the site.


My idea here is an AnimeSuki Reviews Subforum. My idea is that this subforum could be fused with the "Suggestions" forum, or positioned as a subforum under it (like what "Playback Help" is to "Tech Support").

On this AnimeSuki Reviews Subforum, members would be able to write up a series review of any anime show, OVA, or movie that they wish to review. If the review contains spoilers, the thread title for the review would include [Spoilers]. [Spoilers] reviews could make for good discussion-starters on a particular anime show, especially an older one. Non-spoiler reviews could have suggestion/recommendation value.

I think there's a fair number of people here on AnimeSuki who could bring a lot to a subforum like this one. I know some other AS members that write excellent MAL reviews, or blog reviews. Here on AnimeSuki, such reviews may well enjoy a larger audience and/or more fandom interaction.


Now, I'm not sure how many AS members would be interested in writing reviews for such a hypothetical subforum. I will say that I myself would likely write at least a couple reviews for such a subforum, if it came into existence.

So my idea here is somewhat tentative, and I've very much interested in hearing what other AS members have to say about it.
