CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I was thinking that it'd be cool if CAA opened up a new forum for manga reviews. We could pick a manga to review and start with the first volume of a manga and add a new "review" post for every new volume that comes out. If we have enough space here I really think that all you mods should take this into consideration. Well thanks j-00 @|_|_.

Yeah, I've been nagging about this very point for-- forever. I figure that it'll happen when it happens.

I've thought about it too and would really like to participate in reviewing once it happens *hint hint*

I would really benefit from this as well, and would prolly contribute to alot of reviews.^_^

It's one of those ideas in the queue for when we get a round tuit.

*looks through her bag of tuits* A square tuit. A purple tuit. An oval tuit-- AAH!! No round tuit! Oh well, I guess there's no easy fix here. We'll just have to settle for boring patience.

How will you ever find the time to just sit down and do it?
Well, never fret, for one day you'll get that fabled a-round tuit.

LOL, yea this would be a GREAT idea and you have many here who would contribute! ^_^

I've been wondering when one would pop up somewhere...

Glad to hear that you mods are considering it. You're the bestest mods ever ^_^ \/ Well I was gonna write more but me mind went blank. Ah well.

If this happens, I claim dibs on Trigun!!

EDIT: In my haste to get dibs, I forgot to mention I was thinking about suggesting this for some time.

No dibs calling! First woman to her manga wins!-- I mean, woman OR man. Yeah, that's totally what I meant.

maybe we can have alternate views on both manga and anime...

and I want Pet Shop of Horrors!!! I have been faithful to that manga since book one!!!!

I think it's a good idea.

Although, the board could become a bit cluttered depending on how many people contribute as a lot of manga series are pretty long.

At any rate, I would be willing to write some manga reviews.

The only manga reviews site run by Christians I know of that's already up and running is by fellow member, Kireihana's Manga Necessity website. I'm currently contributing manga reviews here along with other CAA members such as RoyalWing and UC (ehh...I might have missed out some other members but hey, you know who you are.) ^_^

You are all most welcomed to contribute (please do!) since she already has some system running and you can just plug in your reviews through an online form. I'm planning to promote this website more once we get a decent number of manga reviews in the database. Please abide to the guidelines Kireihana has outlined, and do keep in mind that we're using Christian standards during manga evaluation.

An additional note, I know that Ashley is also working on InkTone and she plans to have manga reviews there too. It doesn't matter where you submit the reviews, they're all for the benefit of the Christian community.

This is the best we have for now, so pls support us. Thank you!

Dozo. ^_^

NOTE: This website is not part of CAA. It is only run mostly by CAA members. Just wanted to clarify that.

Thanks Mave, I never knew about this. I have a personal manga review person that I go to and she has never steered me wrong. But, I might check out that site.

Thanks for the info Mave, I'll be sure to check it out sometime. If we do get a manga review forum I was thinking you have a thread devoted to review a manga. One manga for thread and just post additional reviews and nothing else on that thread, that way it doesn't get all cluttered.

On this board, all our reviews are approved by the moderators, so I imagine that the post count on any such thread would be rampant that I can't imagine the moderators being able to keep up with it.

For easy of navigation, I'd vote for a database like the anime review section.

Yeah from what I understand, manga reviews go to the mods via PM and once they approve it (assuming they do depending on what you've written), they'll add it to the database.

Meanwhile, I'll just continue working on what's already available since it's better than having nothing.

Ok, remember that this manga review database is not under CAA's responsibility. However, I know that most of the reviews have been made by CAA members.

1) We welcome any suggestions or feedback about how we're running things so far with this effort. Please let us know how we can improve what we already have.
2) We also welcome any reviews from CAA members...however, you should know that we review the manga more critically from a Christian point of view. If you think you can provide Christian manga readers an adequate overview of manga titles (language, sex/nudity, violence, magic/religion), by all means, pls give it a try! We need all the help we can get. I believe Kireihana has some guidelines about submitting reviews so don't forget to read that as well.
3) If you have any manga review requests, pls let us know as well (look through the current list of manga that has already been reviewed). I'm not sure what the others are doing, I most probably have Rurouni Kenshin or Saiyuki in my list.

Thanks!
