I've decided at the behest of some friends and family to begin to document in some fashion my thoughts on media. This will include a few different areas, television, movies, video games (on occasion) and anime.
My reviews will include a few sections, including: Overall review, Characters, plot, setting, and a critical assessment of meaning which will be somewhat subjective, I will also include notable affects of the work on society and media at large.
A few things I don't plan to do include: a number based rating since the Quantitative ranking of a show based on qualitative appeal would make it seem that one show is 0.5 better than another and thus imply that one is more worthy of your time. Most shows that I follow to the conclusion are worth watching (to me at least) you'll have to read the review to know if it is worth it to you. I don't plan to say that I know the exact meaning of every work (except where I may cite a statement by the creator) my assessment will focus on overt themes and ideas in the work and interpretations I can offer.
The first few posts will focus on anime, since I have spent much of my free time over break indulging in old anime's from the initial Toonami afternoon block as well as the Midnight Run, and the beginnings of Adult Swim (all of these finding a place on the Cartoon Network in the mid to late Nineties).
Be looking for my upcoming review of the series Gundam Wing, and the Endless Waltz movie.
