Founded in early 2008, Critics and Connoisseurs is perhaps the most long-standing club with uninterrupted activity on this site.
The goal of the club is to come up with a list of highly recommended quality shows that are exemplary either within its genre or universally. For this purpose, we have threads to nominate anime/manga titles and, once they get selected, other threads where they are subjected to popular vote to decide whether or not they are included in the list. These activities were ran on a weekly basis for more than 12 years (with both an anime and a manga title being voted each week). Nowadays the approach is slightly different, as unlike then, we already have a list that is more or less stable. Hence we run the activities on a monthly pace, giving the members more time to give the spotlighted titles a look.
Entry Requirements:
We have a set of requirements to join the club that aren't necessarily hard to fulfil, and that can be summed up as "having more than 100 completed, either manga or anime, and roughly a normal distribution in your ratings". Nonetheless these requirements aren't everything, so in case you don't meet them and still want to join you can always contact us.
1. The 'Completed' section of either your Anime or Manga list contains at least 100 rated 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 for TV and Movies.
4. The 'Completed' sections of your Anime and Manga lists each may not contain more than 49% of entries rated 8 or higher.
5. The 'Completed' sections of your Anime and Manga lists each can not have a 'mean score' of 7.0 or over.
6. Your Anime and Manga lists must be publicly visible.
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.

It's still the same. Actually, the number you see at the end of the thread title like (165/33) means the manga has 165 chapters and you need to have read at least 33 to vote.
