Black, White, and Green All Over

Hello! This list will be updated whenever there's a topic to be addressed, or a series to review, or something on the waiting list.
This will also be a request form, and a blacklist topic area, too.



Green List:


(These are series which pique my interest, and will be reviewed when a series is finished. They have been greenlit and will be arriving as soon as possible. Because I do not want to carry too many at one time, I will regularly update about three to five series at a time. These series will get: One full synopsis, main characters, classification, twice viewed, review every chapter/interval, development, link, if applicable, and an overall series review when completed.)


-1/2 Prince (Books)
-ARIA: A/N/O (Anime) -Strikes a chord, not too long, and not too many in depth reviews
-Library wars (Anime) -Strange anime, without a lot of publicity
-Shangri-La (Anime)- Currently-Airing series, 24 episodes
-Planetes (Anime)- Not well known, 26 epiodes
-Code: Lyoko (Cartoon) -Dear to my heart, and deserves a more in-depth view
-Ouran High School Host Club (Anime) - I have some difinite things to say about all of this
-Romeo X Juliet (Anime) -And this one, too! Lesser known, same animation as OHSHC
-Darker than Black (Anime) -This'll be fun~
-Axis Power Hetalia - Short, 5 minute episodes seem unobtruive...
-Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (anime) -Although high-profile, I have some things I can contribute to as a writer.



White List:


(These are series that have been suggested, and I'm contemplating. If accepted, they move above, to the pending list. If not, they'll go to the blacklist, all with explinations and reasonings. I'll also try to keep a rough tally of the people who suggest the series. While I'll accept most kinds, Here's what'll be a plus:
*Not too long. I'll probably reject something like Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece. They're far too well known, and frankly, their popularity realy ruins quite a bit of it.
*Unafraid of 'Bashing'. My goal is tp provide insight into everything I can about the series. Everything is watched twice, and I'll be thorough. If I say someting you don't like, feel free to discuss it with anyone, including me. Know that I'll have an argument, and I am not trying to persuade your stance. In return, please don't do it to mine.
*Easily Accessible. I believe that an artist should be praised for his or her work. However, I cannot realisticaly buy every single DVD comes out, nor so I wish to pay a ton of money for something that is illegal. Funimation, zOMG anime, Anime Fever, Crunchyroll, Manga Fox, and One Manga are my main sources, because they have little to no ads, are reliable, and fairly-good quality.
*I accept: Anime, Manga, Books, Novels, Cartoons, and anything else of the like. no politics or issues, please. Editorials are welcome.
*I am not accepting applications at the moment, but who knows? I warn you that I would most likely expect a resume of some kind, a sample, or an essay.






Blacklist:


-These are things I will not review, for various reasons. Feel free to try to suggest something on here, but this is, essentially, my stance on it. If you still wish to challenge it, be prepared to come up with reasons.


-Naruto (Franchise) With two animes, a massive manga, and one of the largest fanbases, this gets more than enough coverage. Politically speaking, there's a lot of issues with the fanbase that I would rather not be subject to (mostly uninteractive fans), as I will be HARSH. Really now, you don't need another review of Naruto. I do, however, keep up with the manga. However, my blogging-Naruto soul is sold to Gabzilla of DeviantArt, who places up humorous play-by-play style summaries of the manga chapters, usually within about an hour of its release on OneManga.
-Bleach (Franchise) Essentially same as Naruto. While most of my friends are avid fans of the series, I'm, personally, not that interested. The tory, form what I've seen so far, doesn't seem that interesting, and the animation looks a bit too much like Naruto. You wouldn't be pleased.
-One Piece (Franchise) I'm sorry, but... no. Same as Bleach, not that interested.
-Twilight (Franchise) I warn you, I'm a bit if a twatlight. I do not fully relate, however, to the total-anti-Twilight bunch, and I could certainly point some things out. I am, overall, too mean wth it, though, and, to be honet, I suggest Blogging Twilight over t Sparklife, from the editors of those handy Sparknotes. Dan i prhaps the most unbiased reviewer so far, and I have an RSS feed on his posts.
-Harry Potter (Franchise) I'm not particularly for it or against it. he sotry, however, just isn't that appealing. And I'd have more complaints with the author and execution than anything else, but it's all sais elsewhere, really.
-NO GAMES PLZ. If you need a game-reviewing dose, I suggest Zero-Punctuation or Unskippable over at the Escapist. I'd love to do a few video-style recaps Yahtzee-style, and MSTing (misting, or in the style of Mystery Science Theathre 3000 [Look it Up]) movies is my particular forte. Very loudly. Besides, I have little excess money, and no real gaming consoles, other than a DSlite (it's pink.). If you want a specific series, I suggest looking at 1UP.com, former creators of EGM before it shut down.
