And order was restored 
I like how Prison School and God Eater got chosed by the community solely based on hype, since they didn't start airing yet. Hope it will be fine. |

I love the idea of classic reviews. AV Club does the same with their TV Club Classic, and those reviews are always a bit more interesting to me. So I'm glad to see something similar pop up here. Though if it takes off, will it always adhere to the anime being reviewed as one the reviewer has not seen? Me personally, I actually like reviews when the reviewer knows what it is coming for the series as a whole. It sometimes feels like there is more context for how an episode fits within the larger narrative, and on the character level as well.
I do understand if that will not be the priority right away, if the feature proves to be a hit(which I hope it will be!). Just once the well of classics that haven't been seen yet dries up, that revisiting could be a worthwhile long term endeavor as well! As far as classics I would like to see. Cowboy Bebop for sure, Outlaw Star, Rurouni Kenshin(length might understandably be too much), Digimon Tamers, Gundam The 08th Ms Team, War In the Pocket, and 0083: Stardust Memory, Baccano, FMA and FMA:Brotherhood, Eden of the East, BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad. |

Just to point out that Paranoia Agent is available through MVM in the UK, so it can be officially purchased.
So if you're in the US and you have a region free DVD player, you could probably import it the way most people in the UK have had to import DVDs from the US in the past! I totally recommend it! |

Would the Daily Streaming Reviews Classics (DSR-C) focus on easier-to-consume, 1- or 2-cour shows, or it could include multi-cour shows, like Slam Dunk, adaptations of Takahashi Rumiko works, the Gundam and Ginga Eiyū Densetsu franchises, and such?

Looks like the shows i'm most looking forward to (so far) are pretty evenly split between Gabriella and Nick. Which doesn't surprise me all that much.
The concept of Streaming Reviews Classic sounds very interesting. I've watched Paranoia Agent when it was airing and rated it highly back then. I don't really have the time for another show but i'm still a bit tempted to rewatch PA, if only to see how/if my opinion changed and how it compares to Nicks's viewing experience... |

Goodbye Rin-ne, I may have only been one of a few, but I voted for you. At least I got everything else I voted for.

I love the idea of classic episode reviews! And Paranoia Agent is definitely a good one to start with. I will be interested in what Nick has to say about it.
My recommendations for the classic episode reviews: Mawaru Penguindrum Revolutionary Girl Utena Baccano! Serial Experiments Lain Neon Genesis Evangelion |

For those interested in importing the UK release of Paranoia Agent, do be aware that it's censored. spoiler[It's the scene in episode 8? where the girl tries to hang herself]
And yet it's still rated 18. I hate the BBFC sometimes. |

What? The voting poll is already finished without getting any chance to vote, even though I'm visiting ANN daily. Too bad.
At least, the animes which I wanted to be reviewed has already made so I won't take it seriously. |

Most of the titles I wanted made the line-up, which is great.
And there's a few others that look interesting (Gangsta, Chaos Dragon, Overlord), but aren't streaming in the UK, which is a bit disappointing, but maybe Viewster will be able to pry them from FUNi's grasp. |

And ANN takes another step towards trying to be the Onion A.V. Club of anime with adding Classic reviews.
(yes I'll be reading them - P.A. is in my top 5 favorite series ever) |

I'm perfectly fine with the idea of episode to episode of classic series- if they're being streamed somewhere and not just being watched on some out of print DVD.
Madoka, that would be good as its readily available but only if the reviewer never saw the series before. Highly unlikely, I'd say. Here's a fun one, She the Ultimate Weapon/ Saikano. I would love to read episode to episode impressions on that one. Honestly, most of the true classics aren't available for streaming ; Call it Fishing in the Stream and do the best you can or go with Back for the Dead and do what you want with it. By the way, the ultimate episode to episode show to review would be My Hime as it takes a genre shift every three episodes. That one really needs a little rescuing- even if Funimation already rescued it. In 2013. |

Numbers are the percentage of the vote they got: Most popular: Gangsta 49.5 Rokka 46.0 Monster Musume 44.1 Charlotte 43.2 Snow White with the Red Hair 43.0 GATE 35.9 Durarara! X2 35.1 Prison School 31.6 God Eater 31.6 My Love Story!! 31.2 Gatchaman Crowds Insight 29.9 Least popular: Sky Wizards Academy 9.7 Seiyu's Life 9.2 Rin-ne 9.1 Junjou Romantica 3 7.5 Idolmaster Cinderella Girls 7.1 Venus Project 3.2 As for classic: We're aware it's awkward that the show is OOP for NA, but it can be had from the UK on DVD, and used copies are out there. A lot of people saw this when it aired on Adult Swim, too. We really wanted to go with something that was only 13 episodes long - committing a writer to a 26-episode thing was out because we have no idea what our needs will be for the fall, and the system is as such where we have a limited number of slots. So this season actually gave us the opportunity to launch this, because it was a fairly light one - only 27 shows or so, and we have 28-29 total slots available. So a one-cour thing would be perfect, we haven't done a podcast on this show yet, and it's well-remembered but hasn't been talked about much in a while. We decided the out of print thing was a compromise we were willing to make. So we're gonna see how it goes with this, and then next time "in print on DVD or currently streaming" will be a requirement. As for longer shows, as I said, it depends a lot on the season and what our resource pool looks like. I'd love to have someone covering longer classic shows, but we have to get to a place where that's feasible first. Thanks everyone for your suggestions! We're cataloging them all for future reference. |
