For the streaming position I live in Canada and don't have access to Hulu. That being said I consume large amounts of anime every season and have been writing reviews for over a year at this point and have received press releases from Viz Media and review copies from Vertical Inc. Can I still apply?

Specifically you need to legally be able to access all of the major streaming networks for anime.
I apologize if that excludes Canadian writers, but it's a requirement for the position. |

Egads. 12 or more anime a season? I'm not a machine.

Oooh, I'm a machine.
A se--- no, just a free time machine. I've got a Hulu account. Crunchyroll and Funimation as well. |

Very happy to see ANN is expanding its stable of reviewers. With the sheer amount of legit streaming content now available it makes sense to hire more peeps. Hopefully, their tastes will align perfectly with mine so I can experience the sweet satisfaction of having my opinions validated!

Well that's unfortunate. "pokes Hulu for not having a Canadian service" Ah well, more time spent watching than writing for me I guess :* |

Usually I review majority of every animes as i watched like give the first 5 episodes a test to see if it sparks some interest in plot and anime artwork.
For the Streamer Position you need to write 1 review per the 12 animes per episode? |

I am extremely interested in the position and I meet all of the requirements except the "Extended experience writing media reviews"... which is, truly, what separates the fans from the 'professionals' and is a vital part of the job requirements. I have writing experience, most of it several years ago on a long since defunct anime forum, but I'm sure that isn't what's being asked for.
I might still apply, anyways, because why not. |

So I guess that means it's impossible for us Australians too, huh. Well, you Americans can go enjoy being Americans while us Australians can lurk around in the shadows... watching... watching... and waiting... |

It is a good thing that ANN is hiring new staff but it seems all the streaming reviewers will come from the US. I would have applied for sure if not for that requirement. It really is too bad for many of us who live outside the US. Funimation and Hulu are discriminating against us... |

Companies make deals for streaming in particular countries, rarely for all of them, as they likely have no presence in certain areas. Why spend money to buy streaming rights for areas your company doesn't do business in?
It's an unfortunate aspect of streaming online, but these are businesses. |

Zac,
Could you maybe try and find someone who has little to no anime watching experience before? To be honest I would be really interested to read the review of someone with no pre-knowledge of the tropes or fandom or history of a series and just really evaluates it blindly from an outsider's perspective. It might be hilarious! Or it might be enlightening. I guess the only problem is finding someone that'd do it who wasn't already an anime fan... |

Yeah that's exactly what we need >_> To encourage more people jumping in to talk about a medium they have zero interest in. Worked so well everytime some angry video critic does it on YouTube. |

I said little to no _experience_, not interest. There's a difference. |
