The current structure uses categories instead of trying to get the reviewer to write concrete points. Compare the good/bad points structure or the common reasoning and writing tool, the outline: The question "is this anime good or bad and what do i rate it" or "are the fight scenes good" are answered by answering simpler questions such as "did the story contradict itself often?" or "did the fight seem serious and real enough" and so on. Actually, the average reviewer watches the anime first and then tries to explain or justify their reaction. Also every question is separated into so many smaller questions that mostly are ignored. So instead of "did the fight seem real enough" the reviewer writes and leaves in this structure: "the fights seemed serious." | The current structure uses categories instead of trying to get the reviewer to write concrete points.

I know leaving a review in bullet point form looks ugly but it actually helps me decide on an anime. As is learned in school collapse into paragraphs. For anidb reviews bold the higher level points. 1. As your English teachers told you very often, the outline helps organize thoughts, keep track of concrete info, and other stuff... 2. The reader will notice and instantly see the points you are trying to make. 3. Comparing, combining and discussing reviews is a lot easier this way. | I know leaving a review in bullet point form looks ugly but it actually helps me decide on an anime.

In the process of writing a review, just watching the anime alone only provides a certain amount of information. Production studios, voice actors, broadcast dates, opening and ending theme singers, character singles, Easter eggs, and DVD specials are useful bits of information that can be included in the review. It can also help to read the manga, and do a comparison of the TV show versus the book. All of this extra information can supply a much more critical, in-depth review that is significantly more useful. | In the process of writing a review, just watching the anime alone only provides a certain amount of information.
