Is it just me, or are we missing Zac's take on the first episodes of the new shows starting from April?
Or perhaps he's found too many of them to be full of crap, so he's not gonna bother?

I think Zac no longer works at ANN, and is now an editor for Anime Insider. I could be wrong on that though.

Well, we know he writes for Anime Insider, but he was already working for them when he did his last preview as well, so that's not necessarily the cause for there not being one now. I always enjoyed his wit and humor when approaching even the most crappy of new series and I've been looking forward to what he'll bring to the table next.

Zac is the new associate editor for Anime Insider and no longer works for ANN. You can still enjoy his wit and humour by picking up the mag.

Why doesn't somebody else take up the job? Maybe a forum goer who has a talent to write. I would, but I can't write worth beans. Maybe not that bad but I'm no Shakespeare.

Wow. So, Zac-sama is gone, huh?
I actually like a lot of his reviews. That's a darn shame. He gave some good insight and a few good jokes too. Well, as for the actual topic, is it supposed to be "brand-new and straight from Japan" kind of anime, or just new to the U.S.? I'm not very up to date with what's new in Japan anyway, so I guess it really wouldn't matter. I just wanted to congratulate Mr. Bertschy on a job well done at ANN and on his promotion to associate editor on such a prominent magazine. Good luck, Zac-sama.

Indeed, I feel the same way. I'd have my own way of presenting material honestly, as I don't have the same type of sharp wit. While I would be more than happy to offer up a review of the first episode of many of the new series, I don't know how well recieved I would be. However, if you are willing to take submissions, I'll be more than happy to try my hand here. After all, a critic can't care too much about how others feel, because in the end, it is his own views that are being published.

At what point, exactly, did this discussion turn into the ANN version of American Idol?
If you guys are truly serious, and if ANN is taking submissions, then it would be best if you came up with your own writing style. There’s no point in trying to imitate someone else’s work. Besides, those are pretty big shoes to fill. As for the preview guide; well, I’m sure one of the staff member’s could pick it up. And if not, oh well, I’m certainly not going to lose sleep over it. Zac will be missed. |

If my BitTorrent wasn't so sickeningly slow (since...a summer preview would likely involve downloading a lot o' fansubs...), I'd have volunteered by now. But alas... |

not to mention the classic captions. Beside how many of us have cast iron eyeballs to put up with the amount of crap Zac had to endure to write the guide alot of the shows on the last one I couldnt even get past the 10 minute mark before I hit alt f4 and procided to delete the file. |

Well, in all fairness, I can watch just about anything, even the worst of it all in it's completion.
Of course, we all have our limits |
