This is Project Haruhi’s new review format for all media, be it video games, anime or manga. It’s designed to be short and strictly structured, meaning that you (as a reviewer) merely have to “fill in the blanks” rather than write an something overly long or complex. Remember, keep it short and simple. Make your point in as few words as as possible. <\/em><\/p>\n

This introductory paragraph serves as a lead-in to the review. Use it to draw the reader in, mainly by stating any preconceptions you may have had going into this media, as well as briefly summarizing your overall opinion (which will be elaborated on later in the review). The main point of this paragraph is to get the reader interested and convince them to keep reading… so be bold and creative! In the words of the immortal Ms. Frizzle, “Take chances! Make mistakes! Get messy!”<\/p>\n

The second paragraph will contain a brief plot summary of the media. Once again, keep it short and sweet. Remember, you’re giving your opinion, not a recap. Hit the main plot points to remind the reader of the media’s premise, but don’t get dragged down in the details. If this paragraph is longer than 200 words, you’ve written too much.<\/p>\n

This next section summarizes what you loved and hated about the media. Generally, you should have between 2 and 4 points for each\u00a0category.<\/p>\n

What I Liked<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Biased Reviews: <\/strong>You may have heard people complain that a certain review is “too biased.” This claim is total BS. The entire point of a review is to offer an opinion for public consumption. Therefore, by their very definition, reviews MUST be biased. Don’t shy away from offering your honest opinion, no matter how harsh it may be.<\/p>\n

Passionate Opinions: <\/strong>How did this episode make you FEEL? Did you laugh? Did you cry? Were the main characters sexy? Did you hate the art design? Be\u00a0PASSIONATE\u00a0in your writing! Express your feelings in bold terms! Make the reader feel what you felt!<\/p>\n

Kickass Screenshots: <\/strong>When choosing your screenshots, stay away from talking heads or characters standing around doing nothing. Boring screenshots can be the death of a review; each image should convey emotion and intensity, so as to grab the reader’s attention and keep them glued to the screen. Example: this is a bad screenshot<\/a> and this is a good one<\/a>.<\/p>\n
