I'm glad you acknowledge the ridiculous nudity in episode two, Hitokiri. I must also add that in the closing credits, there is nudity seen in a magazine one of the soldiers has and perhaps another picture of a nude woman in the cockpit of one of the machines. It's been a while since I've seen the first part of this series, so the details are sketchy in my memory. I never got past volume 1 just because of the useless nudity. This is the only Gundam series that this Gundam fanboy has ever stayed away from.

Good job, Hitokiri! :thumb:

While I agree to giving it a sexual rating based on the amount of nudity, that seems like an awfully high rating if you say that there is nothing sexual or even suggested (I have only seen the TV edit of this, so I don't know exactly what the content is).

Hmm, if this is true, it needs to be put directly in the review. I've only seen the CN version of this show, so I don't know personally.

Which brings me to the question I've been wanting to ask. Is it possible to submit another review of the same anime? I've been writing a very thorough review since the beginning of this week. I've watched the entire series three times over in the past two weeks. I've made sure to include as much detail as I possibly could on the content. (I did include the ending credits part in my review) I've made sure to make it thorough and complete. Not to mention there also several other things that are not mentioned in this review that I feel are neccesary and have included.

Since my review is almost complete and I would be very dissapointed if I wrote it all for nothing... I'd like to request to able to send mine in as well. I don't know if that's already allowed or not, I've never bothered to write a review of one that's already been reviewed for fear that its true.

Yojimbo, why not combine our two reviews together? I know how it feels to write one up and than you can't submit it cause someone else did it.

Cause I know I proably forgot some stuff (such a sthe nudity on the closing scene). If you'rs is more complete than mine, I could always write a review for Miller's Report.

No that's ok really. If anything people should be allowed to submit in more than one review for a title. I can't really see a reason why this is not so. Since all of the reviews up now are ultimately the opinion of one person. I know I don't buy anything, anime or no, unless I've checked several different sites for reviews and I think it should be the same here. Also since it's hard to find a Christian anime review on a title it would really be a good thing for a person looking for such a review to get multiple opinions on it. I'd really like for an admin or mod to answer my question on why it is like this.

Two seperate reviews would be nice allowing those to check the anime from two perspectives. However, you need to consider if two reviews of each anime would take up to much space as well as Gypsy who runs the reviews.

Sure it would take up more space but like I said over AIM I really can't see how bandwith would be a problem. There are forums with plenty of threads that haven't had posts in them for over a year and quite a few random pictures in the gallery. So I'm assuming it would be more an issue of Gypsy having to read through alot of reviews. And I don't mind waiting for it to be approved.

I'm not speaking for Gypsy, but one thing to consider is that unlike other sites where reviews are truly open and other people's reviews on the same series act to correct errors or inaccuracies, the reviews here are checked by moderators, and are not -just- one person's opinion but also agreed to by the person who approves it.

Please also consider that reviews here serve a considerably different purpose. Other sites have a review up to say if the series is worth watching or quality, and that's a subjective claim. However, the reviews here are not to judge the merits of a series (even though many do), but instead to alert people to dodgy content they might contain. That's an significantly more objective point, and I don't see why that needs to be said twice.

Moreover, single reviews on a series are actually the norm rather than the exception on most review sites anyway simply because too many cooks spoil the soup.

For both technical and administrative reasons, this policy is unlikely to change any time soon, so with all due respect, kindly stop harping on it.

I just talked to Gypsy and I'll combine them if Hitokiri still agrees. Sorry for stiring anything up.

Sure ^_^

Like I said, I forgot some stuff sadly on the anime so this will help fill in the gaps and provide a better review.
