First and foremost, I would like to make it clear that this is not an elitist club. Our goal is to come up a list of highly recommended quality shows that are exemplary either within genre or universally. However, everyone has different standards when it comes to this, so I have made up a short list of basic requirements with the goal of ensuring maximum participation from our members.
Entry Requirements:
1. The 'Completed' section of either your Anime or Manga list contains at least 100 entries.
2. The 'Completed' sections of your Anime and Manga lists each may not contain more than 10% of entries awarded a perfect rating of 10. In most cases this will prove that you are able to rise above the hype and will not give a rating of 10 to any show just because it is popular.
3. The 'Completed' sections of your Anime and Manga lists each may not contain more than 5% of entries not awarded any sort of rating.
4. The 'Completed' sections of your Anime and Manga lists each can not have a 'mean score' of over 8.0.
5. Your Anime and Manga lists must be publicly visible.
If you meet all of these requirements and wish to join, but have yet to receive and invitation then feel free to send request. One of the club officers or admins will then review your profile. After reviewing it they will either accept you on the spot or send you a PM explaining the specific reason(s) why your request was declined.
Club Goals:
1. To have members nominate an anime or manga series that they believe is of particularly high quality and that deserve to be added to our 'Club Related' list.
2. To then have a discussion thread for members to debate the good and negative aspects of the nominated series.
3. To then hold a poll to decide if that nomination truly deserves to be added to our 'Club Related' list.
4. If it is decided that a series is befitting a position on our 'Club Related' list then we will go one step further and create a small committee to write for the series a proper review. It will then be posted on the series' page under this account: TheCriticsClub.
This would be our way of putting a stamp of approval to a select few series that belong to the upper echelons of their respective medium.
Activity Policy
The most important thing is participation in the You Decide Polls so that is how we measure activity within the club:
1. If you fail to vote in a single You Decide poll in a given week, you receive a STRIKE.
2. If you accumulate 3 STRIKES in a month, then you will be removed from the club due to inactivity. STRIKES won't rollover so each month you start with a clean slate of 0 STRIKES.However, we are very lenient with this so if you know ahead of time that you won't be online, just message Dark-Evolution and your absence will be excused whether it be a single weekend or an extended vacation.
Double Advance Spotlight Notice:
In order to give everyone more time to get fully acquainted with these entries, we'd like you to take note in advance of the fact that City Hunter (Anime) and Blade of the Immortal (Manga) will be spotlighted for the week starting on Friday the 5th of July.
Please note: each anime and manga entry is followed by a number denoting the total amount of episodes or chapters and the amount you must have watched/read in order for your vote to be legitimate.
If you are mistakenly kicked due to inactivity, please contact one of the admins and we will get it straightened out. We do make mistakes. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.

I have a count for the Buddha You Decide too, but I don't want to post it until I have talked with the other admins about a certain ineligible vote that would change the result of the poll. (Also, lpf, you forgot to vote on Buddha. We probably wouldn't even need this discussion if you remembered)
We shall name it "Confucius's Charity - All donations will go to our dear Lindle"
We accept money, clothes (old or torn), water (we even accept used water), food (we even accept pet food), and pretty much anything to save our dear friend.
Who's with me!? I'll be the first to donate this bag of leaves.
