A long time ago, I wrote a bunch of reviews, along with random editorials, musings, and reviews for non-anime things on my blog,
OPINION PRONE. I've not had the time to write as many reviews in recent years, though I'll usually have per-episode commentary on Twitter about whatever I'm watching.
A note about ratings: Because I grew up in American schools, the grading system ingrained in me, unfortunately, sets 7 as "average." This severely limits flexibility in upper ranges and makes below-5 scores feel very exaggerated. As such, it's rare for me to score things below 5, but you can assume that 5 and 6 are both abysmal, failing grades. Similarly, 7 is my default score for feelings of indifference. 8 applies to majority of series I enjoy, while 9 can be considered favourites. I almost never score 10s. To be honest, I'd like to change this system and grade using the full scale more accurately, but for my reviews at least (as most of them are very old), this system applies.
Friends requests are closed. If I already know you, cool, let me know. If I don't know you, your best bet is to warble at me on Twitter or something until I do.

The purpose of this club is to try and create a community of talented writers who would like to make a more reliable scoring system than the one currently provided by MyAnimeList. Instead of a show being scored by a hundred thousand no-names, we would have the scores for a show coming from well-written reviews by anyone who is willing to participate. All of these reviews will be able to be accessed through our forums, so the mean score for each show will be more personal, since you'll know who's contributing and who isn't, and you can read what everyone thinks.

This is a very new club, so things are barely put together.
If you’re not particularly interested in joining, I would like to know if I can have permission to use some of your reviews for the aggregation.
Yoko Kanno is not involved in Samurai Champloo and I don't even know how you could actually think that
Thanks for the feedback. That review specifically was a departure from my usual writing method, but it ended up becoming one of my favorites. Which would be yours?
Mind if I share one? http://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=214961
I found it exceptional because while you clearly love Code Geass, you approached the review in an unbiased manner with an objective point of view. Personally I wasn't a fan of the anime, but I was definitely a fan of your review.
