Critics and Connoisseurs

Information

Club Description:

First and foremost, I would like to make it clear that this is not an elitist club. Our goal is to come up with 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 we have created 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 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.

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. We reserve the right to deny an application even if it fits all the requirements.

For any questions regarding the entry requirements, send a PM to  Suna_Kujira
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 ShadowGentleman and your absence will be excused whether it be a single weekend or an extended vacation.

Madoka Movie 3 was supposed to be a resurrected anime, I should've checked sooner when somebody was voting for it in the normal nom thread and correct them, although friendly reminder for people to please check the old spotlight list and only nominate shows with a red N in the "resurrect an anime" thread. Smile.
